instructions and other instruction plates must be
read and understood prior to operating the crane.

1.All rated loads meet ANSI/ASME B30.5 Mobile and Engine Brakes

Locomotive Cranes. Testing and development were

performed to SAEJ1063, Cantilevered Boom Crane
Structures, Method of Test and SAEJ765 Crane Stability Fuel Tank Capacity Tires
Test Code.

2. Rated loads include the weight of hookblock, slings Electrical System Suspension
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 Drive Rotation
hoist reeving is used, the additional rope weight shall
be considered part of the load to be handled.
Lights Boom Elevation
3. Capacities appearing above the bold line are based
on structural strength.Tipping should never be relied
upon as a capacity indication.
Cab Swing

4.The machine shall be leveled on a firm supporting

surface. Depending on the nature of the supporting
surface, it may be necessary to have structural supports Boom Counterweight
under the outrigger floats or tires to spread the load to
a larger bearing surface.
Fixed Swingaway
Oil
5.When either boom length or radius or both are
between values listed, the smallest load shown at either
the next larger radius or next longer or shorter boom Tele-Swingaway Hydraulic System
length shall be used.

6.Tires shall be inflated to the recommended pressure

before lifting on rubber.

7. For outrigger operation, outriggers shall be

properly extended with tires raised free of crane Boom Nose Radius
