l Warn all personnel in the work
area of the power source and
electrocution hazard.
l If contact with a power source
does occur, DO NOT STEP
OFF THE CRANE. Stay on
the vehicle until the power is
turned off or the equipment is
lowered and clear of the power
source.
l If fire or other conditions force
the operator to leave the crane,
jump off and away, keeping all
parts of the body clear of the
equipment.
Failure to follow these proce-
dures could cause DEATH or
serious injury.
Keep all parts of body and tools
away from moving cable. Fail-
ure to follow this procedure
could cause DEATH or serious
injury.
In making lifts, the operator must successfully
coordinate several functions. These include the
boom raise/lower, boom extend/retract, load
hoist/flower and swing functions. Although
experienced operator tends to operate two or
more of these functions simultaneously, the lift
procedure can be broken down into the following
sequence of operations:
1.
The operator must exercise
sound judgment in positioning
outriggers. The outriggers
should not be set near holes, on
rocky ground or on extremely
soft ground. Setting outriggers
in such locations may result in
vehicle tipping, causing
DEATH or serious injury.
The LRT 110 Crane must be
level prior to extending boom
or lifting loads. To achieve this
condition, outriggers should be
extended to lift carrier wheels
off the ground. Use bubble
level next to the operator’s seat
to insure that vehicle is level.
The bubble must be centered in
circle. Failure to follow this
procedure could cause DEATH
or serious injury.
Set outriggers with boom over front of ve-
hicle, not side. When a firm footing or level
ground is not otherwise available, use sub-
stantial timbers, solid blocking or other
structural members for support. Distribute
load so as not to exceed safe bearing capacity
of underlying material and to enable leveling
of the LRT 110 Crane.
While operating the LRT 110 Crane, frequently
check and level the crane. Proper positioning is
critically important to both safety and effective-
ness of craning operations.
