a. Positioning The Carrier. The carrier should be
positioned so as to afford the crane operator the best and
safest working angle and the firmest support for the unit
regardless of type of work to be done.
b. Positioning The Outriggers. Position the front and
rear outriggers (fig. 6).
11. Conversion for Crane Operation
a. General. The equipment used to convert the
crane-shovel for crane operation consists of a boom,
boom hoist cable, bridle sheave assembly, and
telescoping pipes. A boom extension may be used to
increase the length of the main boom. Adequate tools
and organizational maintenance personnel will be needed
to install crane attachment.
b. Crane Room Installation.
(1) With the crane facing toward the rear of the
carrier, back the unit into position, aligning
the main frame boom support holes of the
crane with the crane boom holes.
(2) Using a suitable lifting device, lift the boom
into position, alining the bottom holes of the
main frame boom support with the holes in
the boom, and install the two boom footpins
and cotter pins (fig. 7).
(3) Install telescoping pipes of boom stop to top
