SETUP:
1. The machine shall be level and on a firm supporting surface. Depending on the nature of the supporting surface,
it may be necessary to have structural supports under the outrigger floats or tires to spread the load to a larger bearing
surface.
2. For outrigger operation, all outriggers shall be properly extended with tires raised free of crane weight before
operating the boom or lifting loads.
3. When machine is equipped with center front stabilizer, the front stabilizer shall be set in accordance with instructions
in Operator's and Safety Handbook.
4. When equipped with removable and/or extendible counterweight, the proper counterweight shall be installed and fully
extended before and during operation.
5. With certain boom and hoist tackle combinations, maximum capacities may not be obtainable with standard cable
lengths.
6. Unless approved by the crane manufacturer, do not travel with boom extension or jib erected unless otherwise noted.
Refer to Operator's and Safety Handbook for job-site travel information.
7. Inspect vehicle and crane including crane operation prior to use each day.
8. Always level the crane with the level indicator located at each outrigger control station.
OPERATION:
1. Rated loads at rated radius shall not be exceeded. Do not attempt to tip the machine to determine allowable loads.
For clamshell, grapple, magnet or concrete bucket operation, weight of component and load must not exceed 80%
of rated lifting capacities.
2. All rated loads have been tested to and meet the requirements of SAE J1063 - Cantilevered Boom Crane Structures
- Method of Test, and do not exceed 85% of the tipping load on outriggers fully extended, and SAE J1289 - Mobile
Crane Stability Ratings [1.25P < (T-0.1A)] on outriggers 50% and 0% extended (fully retracted) as determined by
SAE J765 - Crane Stability Test Code.
3. Rated loads include the weight of hookblock, slings and auxiliary lifting devices and their weights shall be subtracted
from the listed rating to obtain the net load to be lifted. When more than the minimum required parts of line needed
to pick the load are used, the additional rope weight as measured from the lower sheaves of the main boom nose
shall be considered part of the load to be lifted. When both the hook block and headache ball are reeved, the lifting
device that is NOT in use, including the line as measured from the lower sheave(s) of the nose supporting the unused
device shall be considered part of the load.
4. Load ratings are based on freely suspended loads. No attempt shall be made to move a load horizontally on the ground
in any direction.
5. The maximum in-service wind speed is 20 m.p.h. on the boom capacities and 15 m.p.h. on the jib capacities. It is
recommended when wind velocity is above 20 m.p.h., rated loads and boom lengths shall be appropriately reduced.
For machines not in-service, the main boom should be retracted and lowered with the swing brake set in wind velocities
over 30 m.p.h.
6. Rated loads are for lift crane service only.
7. Do not operate at a radius or boom length where capacities are not listed. At these positions, the machine may overturn
without any load on the hook.
8. The maximum load which can be telescoped is not definable because of variations in loadings and crane maintenance,
but it is safe to attempt retraction and extension of the boom within the limits of the capacity chart.
9. When the boom length or lift radius or both are between values listed, the smallest load shown at either the next larger
radius or next longer or shorter boom length shall be used.
10. For safe operation, the user shall make due allowances for his particular job conditions, such as: soft or uneven
ground, out of level conditions, high winds, side loads, pendulum action, jerking or sudden stopping of loads,
experience of personnel, two machine (tandem) lifts, traveling with loads, electric wires, obstacles, hazardous
conditions, etc. Side pull on boom or jib is extremely dangerous.

NOTES FOR LIFTING CAPACITIES (cont'd.)
OPERATION (cont'd.):
11. Never handle personnel with this machine unless the requirements of the applicable national, state, and local
regulations and safety codes are met.
12. The boom angle before loading should be greater than the loaded boom angle to account for deflection.
13. Capacities appearing above the bold line are based on structural strength and tipping should not be relied upon as
a capacity limitation.
14. When operating the machine in the "On Outriggers 50% Extended (17.5' spread)" mode, the outrigger beam pins
must be engaged. When operating in the "On Outriggers 0% Extended (6.5' spread)" mode, the outrigger beams
must be fully retracted. Failure to follow these precautions could result in structural damage or loss of stability of the
machine.
15. Do not lift loads when boom is fully lowered. The Load Moment Indicator (LMI) senses pressure and will not provide
warnings or lockout. The crane can become overloaded if lift cylinder(s) is fully retracted.
16. Use LMI/angle indicator as reference only.
17. Do not exceed extension capacities at any reduced boom length.
18. Boom must be fully retracted against boom stops at all times when lifting minimum boom length capacity loads.
19. Always pay out load line before extending boom to avoid damaging loadline or crane structure or tripping anti-two-
block system.
20. The maximum outrigger pad load is 57,200 lb. (for a GVW of 19,760 lb - minimum chassis requirement).
21. Loads lifted must be within safe winch capacity. Multiple part rope reeving must be used on loads exceeding winch
single part rated pull. Auxiliary boom head rated for single part use except multi-reeve group used for nominal rated
load. Extensions are rated for single part use only.
22. Do not operate the boom over personnel or allow them to walk or stand beneath the boom or load.
23. Do not allow personnel on carrier deck or crane frame area when rotating crane.
24. Rated loads must be reduced when lifting at the boom tip with jib stowed or erected. Refer to the chart labeled "Rated
Load Reductions with Extension" for the reduction at each boom length.
25. Do not allow personnel to ride on hook, hook block, load or any device attached to the loadline. Handling of personnel
is only permitted with full extension of all outrigger beams. Use only National Crane approved baskets.
26. If using an offsettable extension, do not use personnel basket with extension deployed at 30 degree offset.
27. Operate controls slowly and smoothly to avoid damage to crane or personnel.
28. Boom must be in carrying rack and outriggers fully retracted for travel.
29. Maintain a clearance of at least 10 feet between any part of the crane, loadline, or load, and any electrical line carrying
up to 50,000 volts. One foot of clearance is required for every additional 30,000 volts or less.
DEFINITIONS:
1. Operating Radius: Horizontal distance from a projection of the axis of rotation to the supporting surface before loading
to the center of the vertical hoist line or tackle with load applied.
2. Loaded Boom Angle (Shown in Parenthesis on Main Boom Capacity Chart): is the angle between the boom base
section and the horizontal, after lifting the rated load at the rated radius with the rated boom length.
3. Working Area: Areas measured in a circular arc about the center line of rotation as shown on the working area
diagram.
4. Freely Suspended Load: Load hanging free with no direct external force applied except by the lift cable.
5. Side Load: Horizontal force applied to the lifted load either on the ground or in the air.
6. No load stability limit: The stability limit radius is the radius beyond which it is not permitted to position the boom plus
block configuration because machine can overturn without any load on the hook.
7. Structural length limit: An area where the boom, or the boom with extension deployed, cannot be extended because
of structural limitations.
