Leaving the machine unattended should be avoided.
Be Cautious in Multi-Crane Operation
Once operation is complete, stow the machine.
Lifting a load with two or more cranes can be dan-
gerous. In these operations, loads are lifted at
points other than directly above the center of gravity
and there is possibility of the load falling, the ma-
chine being overturned, or the boom failing.
In multi-crane lifting operations, be absolutely care-
ful, and adhere to the following instructions:
• Meet with personnel to determine the proper
working procedure and lift strategy.
• Assign a work leader, and follow instructions.

Outrigger Operations for Traveling a

Small Distance
WARNING
If the crane is moved without proper traveling
precautions, it may overturn.
For traveling without setting the crane in traveling
configuration, make the following preparations for
preventing overturning:
• Make sure that the tire air pressure is kept at the
specified value (850 kPa [8.5 kgf/cm2]). If the air
pressure is not insufficient, inflate the tires.
• Retract the boom fully (to the length of 11.1 m),
set the boom angle to 45°, retract the jib fully (to
the length of 9.0 m), and set the jib offset angle
to 5°.
• Orient the boom directly forward or backward
and fix it with the swing lock pin before applying
the swing brake.
• Observe the specified boom elevation angle. For
detailed information, refer to the “Weight
Distribution Chart” in the INFORMATION AND
DATA section.
To prevent overturning, do not travel with a
load hoisted.
To prevent overturning, do not perform crane
operation during traveling.
Do not travel on the soft ground. Otherwise the
tires may fall in the ground and the crane may
overturn.
For safety, avoid starting or stopping sudden-
ly.

1. Set the crane as in the above described warning.

2. If the front jack is already extended, retract it.

3. Perform the jack stowing operation until the jack

floats are raised slightly from the ground.

4. Travel slowly at the speed below 5 km/h paying at-

tention to the surroundings.

5. After traveling, set the outriggers immediately.

 Rated Lifting Capacity Table

WARNING
The values shown in the rated lifting
capacity table are based on ideal conditions
where the crane is set level on a firm surface,
there is no wind or side load, and the load is
not swinging. When operating the crane under
these conditions is not possible, reduce the
load as necessary according to the actual
operating conditions.

ƹThe table shown below is an example of the rated

lifting capacity table. The rated lifting capacity table
for your crane is located in the crane operator's cab.
ƹIn the rated lifting capacity table, the values above
the blue line are based on the structural strength of
the crane, whereas the values below that line are
based on the stability of the crane.
ƹThe stability limit of the rated lifting capacities
does not exceed the values calculated in the Part
2/ISO 4305.
ƹFor the rated lifting capacities for the boom
lengths which are not listed in the chart, see the
AML display.

Rated lifting capacities tables are set up as shown

below with the kind of job and the outrigger
extension conditions. For actual values see the
rated lifting capacity tables provided in the crane
operator's cab.

◆The area inside the bold line in the figure above

shows the applicable rated lifting capacities.
◆Black marks among K, L, and M represent the actual
positions of outrigger jacks. The black marks in the
above figure shows that the left and right outriggers are
extended fully.

–Example–
While the outrigger extension is as shown below and the
front jack is used (extended), the rated lifting capacities
determined for each working area for boom lift are as
follows:
(1) Over-front area (340°–10°): capacities with outrig-
gers at full extension
(2) Over-right area (10°–145°): capacities with outrig-
gers at middle extension
(3) Over-rear area (145°–200°): capacities with outrig-
gers at full extension
(4) Over-left area (200°–340°): capacities with outriggers
at middle extension
If the outrigger extension is as shown below, the lifting
capacity turns from the one with outriggers at full exten-
sion into the one with outriggers at middle extension
when the boom passes the left rear (200° point) while
swung from the over-rear area into the over-left area.
The lifting capacity turns from the one with outriggers at
middle extension into the one with outriggers at full ex-
tension when the boom is swung further into the
over-left area (340°–10°).

Outriggers

Setting the Crane

WARNING
If the crane is set on inappropriate ground, it is
possible that the crane could overturn. Always set
the crane on firm ground.

The most important factor for safe crane operation is

setting the outriggers on ground firm enough to support
both the mass of the crane and the load to be lifted.
The crane is normally supported by four outriggers dur-
ing operation, but in certain operating positions, a large
part of the crane mass and lifted load mass may end up
being supported by only one outrigger. If this occurs
when the outriggers are set on soft ground, the outrigger
floats may sink into the ground, causing the crane to list
and, in the worst case, overturn.
Some surfaces may appear to be firm, when in fact they
are not hard enough to support the machine. Be espe-
cially careful of the following surfaces:
(1) Asphalt pavement
(2) Sidewalk or other areas with stone pavement
(3) Areas that have been filled in after excavation
(4) Reclaimed land
(5) Areas near the shoulder of a road or the edge of a pit

Preparing the Ground

When it is unavoidable to set the crane on soft ground or
on ground that cannot bear the load of the crane plus a
load to be lifted, carry out the following procedures:
(1) Grade a slope or rough surface so that the crane can
be set in a level position.
(2) Place steel plates or wood blocks on the surfaces
where the outrigger floats are to be located, in order
to distribute the bearing pressure over a larger area.
The steel plates and wood blocks must be sufficiently
strong and large in area and also appropriate for the
ground condition. The outrigger floats must be set at
the center of the plates or blocks.

Extending the Outriggers Full Extension Procedure

WARNING
1. Remove all four lock pins.
Outriggers with improperly extended beams
cannot assure safety. Adhere to the rated lifting
capacity table, which specifies the correct beam
length for different lifting capacities. Make it a rule
to fully extend the beams whenever possible even
on a crane which is rated for operation on
outriggers at half extension.
The machine can sometimes remain level even
when it is supported on only three jacks. T30108

Operating the machine in such a condition is very

dangerous. After extending the outriggers, make
sure that all outrigger floats are in contact with

“Setting the vehicle level” refers to the condition that the
vehicle is set so that the bubbles in the spirit level are
between the marking lines.
Check the position of the bubbles in the bubble level. If a
bubble is off-center, it means that the crane is not level,
and the side of the crane in the direction of the bubble is
higher.

Adjustment
The crane should be adjusted to a level position by re-
tracting (extending) the jack cylinders located on the
higher (lower) side of the crane. The following explana-
tion assumes that the right side of the crane is higher
(lower).

1. Place the right front and right rear individual control

levers (levers corresponding to the higher (lower) side)
in the JACK position. Move the extend/retract control
lever toward RET. (EXT.) a little at a time to retract (ex-
tend) the jack cylinders on the right side of the crane.

2. Keep the extend/retract control lever toward EXT.
for approx. 3 seconds after the front jack float has
reached the ground. Then, return the extend/retract con-
trol lever and front jack lever to the neutral position.

Retraction
[NOTICE]
◆Retract the front jack before retracting the outrig-
gers. If the outriggers are retracted without first
retracting the front jack, the carrier chassis frame
will be damaged.
