  • Page 8: Safety

    IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 Safety WARNING KEEP CHILDREN, BY-STANDERS, AND PERSONS NOT REQUIRED IN THE OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT AT LEAST 10’-0” (3.05 m) FROM THE OUTERMOST RANGE OF THE CRANE. CRANE OPERATION Before engaging the PTO, be sure the carrier vehicle’s transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is applied.
  • Page 9 Persons engaging in these procedures do so entirely at their own risk. Your new IMT crane includes the following safety features: Automatic Overload Protection (OLP) system which senses an overload and prevents winch up, boom extension and boom down functions.

  • Page 10: Crane Component Identification

    IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 Crane Component Identification IMT electric-hydraulic cranes are designed to lift a variety of materials. These cranes are typically mounted on a vehicle chassis, but they can have stationary mounts. Instructions on how to operate the crane may refer to various crane components.

  • Page 11: General

    Daily Safety Inspection Using the Crane Log, IMT Manual No. 99900686, or the inspection checklist in the reference section of this manual, inspect the crane on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Use the following list as a guide when you are inspecting your unit at start-up and during operation: Vehicle - Check oil level, battery, lights, brakes, and tires for inflation, pressure, cuts, and loose or missing wheel lugs.

  • Page 12: Electrical Hazards

    IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 Covers and Guards - Check for missing or improperly maintained covers and guards. Remote Control - Check engine stop switch for function and corrosion. 10 Operation Placards and Safety Decals - Check for illegible or missing decals and placards.
  • Page 13 Chapter 2 Operation For maximum safety during work near powerlines, adhere to the following guidelines: During windy conditions, allow additional clearance. Do not rely on cage-type boom guards, insulating links, or proximity warning devices for safety. Adhere to the required distances listed in table titled REQUIRED CLEARANCE OF CRANES FROM ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION LINES.

  • Page 14: Crane Capacity

    IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 Crane Capacity The IMT crane is designed to lift specific loads. These loads are defined on the capacity placard mounted near the operator’s station and on the crane. Exceeding the limits presented on the capacity placard will create severe safety hazards and will shorten the life of the crane.

  • Page 15: Load Ratings

    Chapter 2 Operation Load Ratings The maximum load chart is a representation of the MAXIMUM loads for which your crane is rated. The Overload Protection System prevents loads significantly over these ratings. The actual load rating for your installation will be determined by other factors. Remember that just because the load chart says a given load is possible, that load may not be possible under some configurations without tipping the truck.

  • Page 16: Capacity Chart

    IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 Capacity Chart 3203i CAPACITY CHART 2625 Maximum 1-part line capacity is 1600 lbs. For greater loads, use 1400 2-part line. 3088 NOTE: Boxes denote 2-part line. 1600 3200 1888 1141 3200...

  • Page 17: Outriggers

    Chapter 2 Operation Outriggers An outrigger (part # 32000513) or stiffening leg is recommended for stabilizing the truck. It should be deployed before lifting any load. The outrigger extends three feet out to the side of the truck on the crane side, and has the ability to level the truck bed before lifting. Always level the truck bed to within 1% grade before lifting the load.
  • Page 18 IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 If operational aids are inoperative or malfunctioning, do not use the crane to lift any loads. Warning Sign If there is a warning sign on the crane controls, do not operate the crane until the warning sign has been removed by an appointed person.

  • Page 19: Overload Protection System

    Chapter 2 Operation b) Lash or restrain the empty hook so that it cannot swing freely. c) Do not leave loads suspended from the hook. When rotating the crane, avoid sudden starts and stops. When reversing rotation direction, pause to allow load swing to subside before rotating in the opposite direction. Do not use this crane for transporting or lifting personnel.

  • Page 20: Anti-Two-Block System

    IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 Anti-Two-Block System If your crane is equipped with power extension, it has a switch which stops the boom extension, hoist up and boom down functions. This switch is connected to a hanging weight at the crown block of the boom.
  • Page 21 Chapter 2 Operation CAUTION DURING THE 45 MINUTES ALLOWED FOR WARM UP, DO NOT RACE TRUCK ENGINE AND OVER SPEED HYDRAULIC PUMPS. PUMP CAVITATION, WITH PERMANENT DAMAGE, MAY RESULT. If at any time during oil circulation, and especially during the initial warm up time, any hydraulic pump noise such as metal grinding, or a popping noise is heard, shut down the unit immediately.

  • Page 22: Hand Signals

    IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618 Hand Signals Hand signals can be used to communicate between crane operators and assistants when the job site noise level is too high to communicate in other ways. Signals to the operator shall follow ASME B30.5 standards, unless voice communication is utilized.
  • Page 23 Chapter 2 Operation LOWER BOOM - With arm extended, EMERGENCY STOP- Both arms fingers closed, thumb pointing extended, palms down, move arms downward. back and forth horizontally. TRAVEL- Arm extended forward, HOIST- With forearm vertical, hand open and slightly raised, forefinger pointing up, move make pushing motion in direction hand in small horizontal circles.
