Operation Under Normal Conditions
Operating the Engine
When engine reaches operating temperature of
140 degrees F (60 degrees C), operations may
begin. While engine is running, check gauges at
frequent intervals and be alert for any abnormal
engine sounds or faulty engine performance.
NOTE
Maintaining battery in a fully
charged state is important for
starting engine.
When idling engine for extended periods, main-
tain an idle speed sufficient to prevent battery
from being discharged, a voltmeter reading of
26+ V.
Before Moving the LRT 110 Crane
CAUTION
If traveling more than 5 miles on
improved roads or 2 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.
The LRT 110 Crane is capable of both off-road
and on-road travel. The kind of travel under-
taken will determine how carrier is operated.
Before moving the LRT 110 Crane around work
site or between sites, carefully consider type of
terrain, road conditions and any hazards likely to
be encountered enroute. Think the move through
