Do not attempt to move the
vehicle with the parking brake
engaged. Failure to follow this
procedure could cause damage to
equipment.
5. Release parking brake.
6. Shift into forward travel.
Good judgment in selection of gear range and
route of travel is essential when operating off-
road.
Though designed primarily for use in off-road
conditions, there may be instances when highway
travel is necessary. In such instances, the LRT
110 Crane is subject to the same regulations
governing the operation of other heavy equip-
ment on public roads. Adequate lighting, flares,
flags and safety equipment must be on the ve-
hicle at all times.
7.
When operating on hard surfaces,
use two-wheel drive only. Fail-
ure to do so may result in severe
drive line “wind-up” and compo-
nent failure.
Accelerate engine by depressing accelerator
pedal until LRT 110 Crane starts to move.
CAUTION
Speed is not to exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h). Failure to follow this
procedure could cause damage to
equipment.
The operator may start to travel from idle in
either forward or reverse, and in 1st gear.
In addition to conditions of terrain, gear selection
while traveling is also determined by transmis-
sion temperature. Normal operating temperature
is 160 to 190 degrees F (71 to 88 degrees C).
CAUTION
Traveling with high transmission
temperature (above 250 degrees
F [121 degrees C]) can cause
damage to vehicle. Do not shut
engine off when transmission is
overheating.
If transmission temperature rises above 250
degrees F (121 degrees C) while traveling, the
LRT 110 Crane must be stopped and allowed to
cool. Shift to neutral and run engine at 1,000 to
1,200 rpm. The temperature should drop rapidly
to 160 to 190 degrees F(71 to 88 degrees C). If
temperature does not drop, trouble is indicated,
and should be determined before moving again.
Overheating generally occurs due to working in
too high a gear ratio.

l
Never shift between forward
and reverse while the LRT 110
Crane is in motion. Failure to
follow this procedure could
cause damage to equipment.
Downshifts should not be
made when vehicle speed
exceeds maximum speed of
next lower range.
Downshifting at excessive
speeds will overspeed drive
train components and cause
damage to drive shafts.
Full power shifts under load may be made with-
out endangering transmission or drive train
components.
