The manuals which must be retained in the operator’s cab

OPERATOR INFORMATION binder. A separate binder is
provided for the crane and each applicable attachment.
The Operator Manuals and Capacity Charts are stamped

serial number of the crane and attachment in use. Using any
other manual or capacity chart is prohibited.
• The crane model and serial number is located on the
Crane Identification Plate on the crane cab.
• The model and serial number of the attachment (other
than standard boom) is located on the Crane
Identification Plate on the attachment.
If the serial numbers of your manuals and capacity charts do
not match the serial numbers of the crane or attachment,
contact your Manitowoc Dealer for the proper manual or
capacity charts.
Do not operate crane or attachment if proper Capacity
Chart is not in cab.
Storing Manuals
Store a copy of the Operator Manual for the crane and each
applicable attachment in the holder provided in the
Operator’s cab (Figure 2-2
).
Attach the chain from the manual in use to the link behind the
operator’s seat.
Keep all other manuals provided with the crane in the crane
owner’s/user’s office so they are readily available when
needed.
SAFE OPERATING PRACTICES
General
The importance of safe operation cannot be over
emphasized. Carelessness and neglect on the part of
operators, supervisors and planners, rigging personnel and
job site personnel can result in their death or injury and costly
damage to the crane or property.
The safety information in this publication is intended only as
a guide to assist qualified operators in safe operation.
Manitowoc cannot foresee all hazards that will arise in the
field. Therefore, safety remains responsibility of crane
operators and owner.
Local, state, and other governmental agencies may require
stricter operating practices. When a conflict in practices
exists, follow the strictest practice.
