Stunt driving and horse-play are strictly prohibited. Never
allow anyone to hitch a ride or get on or off a moving crane.
Follow the instructions in this manual when preparing the
crane for travel.
If using a boom dolly/trailer, thoroughly read and understand
all the steps and safety precautions in this manual for setup
and travel.
When driving the crane make sure that the cab is down, if
equipped with a tilting cab.
Secure the hook block and other items before moving
the crane.
Watch clearances when traveling. Do not take a chance of
running into overhead or side obstructions.
When moving in tight quarters, post a signal person to help
guard against collisions or bumping structures.
Before traveling a crane, check suitability of proposed route
with regard to crane height, width, and length.
Never back up without the aid of a signal person to verify the
area behind the crane is clear of obstructions and/or
personnel.
On cranes equipped with air-operated brakes, do not attempt
to move the crane until brake system air pressure is at
operating level.
Check load limit of bridges. Before traveling across bridges,
make sure that they will carry a load greater than the crane’s
weight.
If it is necessary to take an RT crane on a road or highway,
check state and local restrictions and regulations.
Keep lights on, use traffic warning flags and signs, and use
front and rear flag vehicles when necessary. Check state and
local restrictions and regulations.
Always drive the crane carefully, obeying speed limits and
highway regulations.
Stay alert at the wheel.
If equipped, make sure that the hoist access platform hand
rail and step are in the travel configuration.
