Bodies takes no liability for the placement of a crane by an outside source. If you install a crane not designed for the body or chassis, your crane and the stability of it will fail. Summit Truck Bodies has completed an extensive testing of the crane and has formulated the Stability Chart to cover the truck body and chassis on which it is mounted.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 2.1 GENERAL For ease of operation, become familiar with your crane and truck combination. Practice lifting without a load, and then graduate to a small load, gradually becoming larger in load size. Do this prior to actually going to the job site to perform the job task. As with all jobs, there is an element of risk, so prepare the operator for emergency situations and, much like testing for a fire drill, they will master the situation with each practice.
2.4 OPERATING RESTRICTIONS Guidelines for operating the equipment: 1. The truck must be level for all loading and unloading with the crane. 2. The emergency brake must be engaged prior to any crane operation. 3. The outriggers must be extended and setting on solid footings before operating the crane. 4.
B. Operate the outrigger position switch to position the outrigger. C. After outriggers are positioned, return crane/outrigger switch to “crane” position. D. Crane is now ready to operate. MANUAL OUTRIGGERS: A. Rotate locking pin to release outrigger leg. B. Pull out outrigger leg and rotate locking pin to lock outrigger leg in position. C.

3.5 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM PURGIN The oil should be changed after 3,000 hours of operation or every year, whichever occurs first. Follow these guidelines to purge the hydraulic system: 1. Put the truck into an area that allows for the full rotation of the crane. 2.
3.8 COUNTER BALANCE VALVE Your crane is equipped with hydraulic cylinders that have counter balance valves. These prevent the failure of the cylinder rods in a downward motion in the event there is a component failure within the hydraulic system. Find the cylinder you suspect to be the problem.
