BE ALERT FOR SIGNS OF
PUMP CAVITATION. The
hydraulic oil provides lubrication
for pumps. When too heavy or
stiff, it will not flow fast enough
to meet pump demand and a
vacuum or cavitation will be
created. A screaming noise
indicates inadequate pump
lubrication and, if allowed to
continue for more than a short
period, will result in serious
damage to pumps.

CAUTION
I
If the LRT 110 Crane is to be
towed a distance of more than 1
mile (1.6 km) and/or at speeds
greater than 3 mph (4.8 km/h),
the front driveshaft must be
disconnected from the front axle.
As an alternative to disconnect-
ing the driveshaft, if (he engine is
operable, the engine may be
started and allowed to idle during
the towing process. This will
circulate lubricant in the trans-
mission, lubricating the clutches
during the towing operation.
Failure to disconnect the drive-
shaft or to run the engine will
cause internal damage to the
transmission as the vehicle is
towed.
The tow bar MS500048 is the
only tow bar to be used on this
vehicle. If not available, see
organizational maintenance.
Failure to follow this procedure
could cause damage to equip-
ment.
Be certain correct socket and
wedge as supplied are used.
Failure to follow this procedure
could cause damage to equip-
ment.
CAUTION
Loops formed by overrun can
cause kinks and dog legs in the
cable, resulting in damage and
premature cable failure.
I
CAUTION
I
Never use a steel hammer or
pinch bar to move cable over on
drum. These tools can easily
damage cable.
If traveling more than five miles
on improved roads or two miles
on rough terrain or unimproved
roads, remove anti-two block
weight and chain from the switch
and secure it to the anchor point
of the wedge socket located
either on the boom head or hook
block, whichever is accessible.
Failure to follow this procedure
could cause damage to the hook
block switch.
