Fail-ure to follow this procedurecould cause DEATH or seriousinjury.In making lifts, the operator must successfullycoordinate several functions. These include theboom raise/lower, boom extend/retract, loadhoist/flower and swing functions. Althoughexperienced operator tends to operate two ormore of these functions simultaneously, the liftprocedure can be broken down into the followingsequence of operations:1.The operator must exercisesound judgment in positioningoutriggers. The outriggersshould not be set near holes, onrocky ground or on extremelysoft ground. Setting outriggersin such locations may result invehicle tipping, causingDEATH or serious injury.The LRT 110 Crane must belevel prior to extending boomor lifting loads. To achieve thiscondition, outriggers should beextended to lift carrier wheelsoff the ground. Use bubblelevel next to the operator’s seatto insure that vehicle is level.The bubble must be centered incircle. Failure to follow thisprocedure could cause DEATHor serious injury.Set outriggers with boom over front of ve-hicle, not side. When a firm footing or levelground is not otherwise available, use sub-stantial timbers, solid blocking or otherstructural members for support. Distributeload so as not to exceed safe bearing capacityof underlying material and to enable levelingof the LRT 110 Crane.While operating the LRT 110 Crane, frequentlycheck and level the crane. Proper positioning iscritically important to both safety and effective-ness of craning operations.4-21
