The increased possibility of inadequate wraps
remaining on winch drum occurs when operating
with a higher number of line parts than are
required for load being lifted, particularly at
longer boom lengths and high boom angles.
Sufficient cable is initially provided to allow the
hook block to reach ground level when reeved
for the required parts of line indicated on the
Capacity Chart for all given loads. Reeving with
more parts of line than required may result in all
of the cable being payed off the winch drum.
CAUTION
Keep tension on cable to prevent
damage from slack.
3. Raise boom to required angle, consulting the
boom angle indicator for the boom angle.
The boom elevation is controlled by a hand lever.
To LOWER boom, push lever forward. To
RAISE boom, pull lever back. Improved control
is obtained by operating engine at low speed
while “metering” controls. Always operate and
release controls slowly to minimize dynamic
effects of load. During a lift, where precise
control of load is required, do not attempt to use
more than one function at a time.
l Always use a qualified
signalman and observe load
while the equipment is in
operation.
l When spotting a load, it may
become necessary to alter the
boom angle or length. If
adjustment is necessary,
consult the LRT 110 Capacity
Chart before performing a lift.
Failure to follow this procedure
could cause DEATH or serious
injury.
CAUTIO
N
Always consider possible ob-
structions which may be encoun-
tered during swings when vary-
ing boom height or length.
Think swing through, consider-
ing all obstacles, before making
swing. Failure to follow this
procedure could cause damage to
equipment.
When lifting with the LRT 110 Crane, a signal-
man must always be used to direct the operation.
Limited visibility to the rear is caused by upper-
structure being in the operator’s line of vision.
I
CAUTION
I
Never hold controls in an “acti-
vated’ position once hoist/lower
cylinder or extend/retract cylin-
der has reached its limit of travel.
This can cause overheating of
hydraulic oil.
4. Swing boom over load. Upperstructure and
boom swing is controlled by swing lever. To
swing boom to the RIGHT, push lever for-
ward. To swing boom to LEFT, pull lever
back. Swing speed increases as lever is
moved further forward or back. Swing speed
also varies with engine speed.
