ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY AREA
Select an assembly/disassembly area that has a firm, level,
uniformly supporting surface. Make sure the area is large
enough to accommodate the crane and the selected boom
length, movement of trucks with trailers, and movement of an
assist crane.
Set outrigger pads on a flat, firm foundation that will support
the load placed on them. See Figure 4-1
for loadings.
Table 4-1 Jack and Pedestal Load Data
Do not set the outrigger pads in holes, on rocky ground, or on
extremely soft ground.
If necessary, use wood blocking or steel plates under the
outrigger pads to properly distribute loading. The wood
blocking or steel plates must be:
• Free of defects
• Strong enough to prevent being crushed or bent
• Of sufficient length and width to prevent settling under
load
Contact your Manitowoc dealer for ground bearing
information.
ACCESSING PARTS
Some parts of the crane, boom, and jib cannot be reached
from the ground. Take the necessary precautions to prevent
slipping and/or falling off the crane, mast, boom, or jib during
assembly disassembly, maintenance, or other work. Falling
from any height could result in serious injury or death.
RETAINING CONNECTING PINS
Connecting pins are retained in various ways:
• Wire-lock pins
• Quick-release pins
• Hair-pin cotters
• Hitch pins
• Keeper plates with cap screws and lock washers
Do not operate the crane until all connecting pins are
installed and properly retained.
