5-3.4 Crane Travel Operation. The crane is primarily designed for yard and close proximity areas. Design and
application intent precludes operation on public highways; however, many jurisdictions permit limited travel under
controlled conditions. Consult local vehicular codes and regulations in your area.
WARNING
Do not travel with an empty hook in a position where it can swing freely. Always secure an
empty hook to the tiedown provided on the front of the crane (see cover illustration).
WARNING
Avoid holes, rocks, extremely soft surfaces, and any other obstacles which might subject the
crane to undue stresses or possible overturn.
WARNING
On open ground, tow or pull only on the pintle hooks or lift/tow lugs.
CAUTION
For extended travel, check the cold tire pressure prior to start. (Refer to tire inflation chart in
Appendix E, sheet 9.) Regardless of ambient temperature, after every two hours of travel
time, stop and allow the tires to cool off for at least a 30 minute period. At destination, the
tires must be allowed to cool to ambient temperature before crane lifting on rubber.
CAUTION
Do not drive the crane with the lift cylinder bottomed.
Position the boom to just above
horizontal.
