  • Page 23 Moving the EZ Hauler 4100 Through a small opening. • One of the advantages of the EZ Hauler 4100 is that it is small enough to operate in areas which are too confined to use a line truck. • A standard gate opening is 36 inches wide.
  • Page 24 Moving the EZ Hauler 4100 With a Load Moving a pole: Lifting and carrying a pole can be performed easily with the hydraulic outriggers. Attach the provided lifting chains to the pole and to the d-rings on the EZ Hauler 4100 outrigger arms as shown.
  • Page 25 Using the outrigger control levers lift both outriggers equally until pole is securely in place. NOTE: Pole must clear tracks when completely lifted (Picture may not be a true representation of your machine.) vReverse procedure when pole is ready to be lowered to the ground.
  • Page 26 It may be necessary to rotate the boom slightly in order to carry a transformer. Drive the EZ Hauler 4100 slowly. Make turns slowly and (Picture may not be a true representation of your machine.)
  • Page 27 Setting a Pole With the EZ Hauler 4100 • Remember the EZ Hauler 4100 is not totally electrically insulated. Use your company’s insulation procedure to avoid electrocution. Before setting a pole the load capacity chart must be thoroughly understood. Caution!! Weight of load must be known at all times .
  • Page 28 Setting the Outriggers Use the outrigger controls to lower outriggers to level and support the machine. Oversized outrigger pads might be required depending on soil conditions.
  • Page 29 Auger Operation Procedure...
  • Page 30 Make sure that boom sections are fully retracted and that auger pins are in correct position. Using the auger remote circuit wind up the auger slightly to release tension on latch pin. NOTE: Use the flow control on the remote control to control the speed of the auger.
  • Page 31 Release auger latch and slowly lower auger. IMPORTANT: You must raise boom to lower auger assembly.
  • Page 32 5. Carefully unwind (dig) auger and remove strap. You are now ready to use the remote control to auger as needed.
  • Page 33 5. Reverse this procedure to store the auger. Again making sure to have boom extensions fully retracted before stowing auger. DO NOT “OVER STORE” THE AUGER AS DAMAGE CAN OCCURE! NOTE: Make sure to place boom extension pins in proper CRANE location before extending boom sections.

  • Page 45 Shows the bucket mount installed and pinned it in place...
  • Page 46 The bucket can now be mounted to either side of the mount to best accommodate working from it.
  • Page 47 Make sure the locking mechanism on the bucket mount is unlocked by pulling it up and twisting counterclockwise into the position shown. This allows the bucket to swing freely and remain perpendicular while the boom is being raised or lowered.
  • Page 48 Once the boom is at working height lock the bucket in place by rotating the mechanism clockwise allowing the spring to engage the working parts of the lock. Remember to unlatch the lock each time before raising or lowering the boom!
  • Page 49 Hydraulic Pole Guide Procedure...
  • Page 50 1. Slide pole guide in to receiver of sheave head. 2. Install and secure pin.
  • Page 51 3. Make sure hydraulic couplers on pole guide and hose reel are clean. 4. Connect hydraulic couplers from hose reel to pole guide. Make sure connection is secure.
  • Page 52 5. Remember that the pole guide is conductive so it will not be insulated against cross fazing, but with the fiberglass stage boom properly pinned in place the EZ Hauler 4100 and its operator will be substantially protected.
  • Page 53 Pole Pulling Always use a suitable open center “pole pulling” tool for pole removal! The EZ Hauler can be used as a guide and steady the pole as the pole pulling tool is in use. WARNING: Never use the EZ Hauler to pole pulling or pull screw anchor, always use secondary pole No Pole Pulling...
  • Page 54 IMPORTANT! The EZ Hauler 3800 / 4100 series of machines are all dielectrically tested to 46kv category “C” guidelines. This qualification test is performed at the factory in accordance with ANSI A10.31 guidelines. It is important that periodic tests be performed to the EZ Hauler just as any other digger-derrick in a companies fleet.
