--- IMPORTANT ---SAFETY TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS

2-112/2002

1. No unqualified or unauthorized person shall beallowed to operate the crane.

2. WARNING: Never weld, modify, or useunauthorized components / parts on any Auto Craneunit. This will void any warranty or liability. Also,failure of the crane may result.

3. Make certain the vehicle meets minimum chassisrequirements. (These requirements do not guaranteeunit stability.)

4. Make certain the crane is installed per factoryspecifications. Contact your local distributor or theAuto Crane factory if any questions arise.

5. Visual inspections and tests should be conducted atthe beginning of each shift each day to ensure that thecrane and all its operating systems are in goodcondition and working order before it is used.

6. Inspect hydraulic hoses frequently for signs ofdeterioration, and replace them as required.

7. If a hydraulic break occurs, leave the area of thebreak and do not attempt to stop the break by hand asthe hydraulic oil may be hot and under high pressurewhich can cause serious injury. Shut the systemdown as soon as possible.

8. Check the hook at least every thirty days fordistortions or cracks and replace it as required.

9. Oil gears as required.10. Stop all operations when cleaning, adjusting or

lubricating the machine.11. Keep dirt and grit out of moving parts by keeping a

crane clean. Make sure machine is free of excess oil,grease, mud and rubbish, thus reducing accidents andfire hazards.

12. When a new cable is installed, operate first with alight load to let the cable adjust itself.

13. Locate the vehicle at the work site for the beststability possible.

14. Keep the vehicle in a level position while loading orunloading.

15. Observe operating area for obstructions and/or powerlines that might be a hazard

16. WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE CRANENEAR ELECTRICAL POWER LINES. Auto CraneCompany recommends that the crane never be anycloser to a power line (including telephone lines) than10 feet at any point.

17. Allow the vehicle engine to warm up beforeoperating crane.

18. Know the weight of your rigging and load to avoidoverloading the crane.

19. Deduct the weight of the load handling equipmentfrom the load rating to determine how much weightcan be lifted.

20. All load ratings are based on crane capacity, NOT thevehicle stability.Remember in lifting a heavy load, the weight cancreate enough tipping moment to overturn the vehicle

21. Always comply with load chart capacities, (centerlineof rotation to hook).

22. Secure all loads before lifting.23. Always set the emergency brake before beginning

operation.24. Keep objects and personnel clear of crane path during

operation.25. Operate control levers slowly and smoothly in order

to meter oil flow for safe operation.26. Always use outriggers from vehicle to the ground

during crane operation. Ensure that they are firmlypositioned on solid footings. Stand clear ofoutriggers while they are being extended.

27. If any outrigger, when extended, rests on a curb orother object that prevents it from extending to itsmaximum distance, shorten bearing or fulcrum pointand reduce the maximum load accordingly.

28. When an outrigger will not reach the ground due toholes or grades, it shall be blocked up to providelevel and firm support for the truck.

29. When working in soft earth, use wide pads underoutrigger feet to prevent sinking.

30. Always store outriggers before transportation.

WARNING!Auto Crane Company cranes are not designed or intended for use in lifting or moving persons. Any such useshall be considered to be improper and the seller shall not be responsible for any claims arising there from.This sale is made with the express understanding that there is no warranty that the goods shall be fit for thepurpose of lifting or moving persons or other improper use and there is no implied warranty or responsibilityfor such purposes.

--- IMPORTANT ---SAFETY TIPS AND PRECAUTIONS

2-212/2002

31. Always store the crane in its stowed position fortransportation.

32. Remember the overall height of the entire unit forgarage door clearance or when moving underobjects with low overhead clearance

33. Disengage power takeoff (PTO) before movingthe vehicle.

34. Always walk around the vehicle before moving.35. Never drive with a load suspended from crane.36. Do not take your eyes off a moving load. Look

in the direction you are moving.37. Never swing a load over people.38. Do not stop the load sharply in midair so that it

swings like a pendulum. Meter the control leversto avoid this situation.

39. Crane boom length should be kept as short aspossible for maximum lifting capacity and greatersafety. Longer booms require additional care inaccelerating and decelerating the swing motion,and thus slow down the working cycle and reduceproductivity.

40. Keep the load directly and vertically under theboom point at all times. Crane booms aredesigned primarily to handle vertical loads, notside lifts.WARNING: Never attempt to lift, drag, tow orpull a load from the side. The boom can fail farbelow its rated capacity.

41. Do not push down on anything with boomextensions, lift or outer boom function.

42. Do not lift personnel with any wire ropeattachment or hook. There is no impliedwarranty or responsibility for such purposes.

43. WARNING: In using a safety hook, ALWAYSclose the hook throat before lifting a load. Properattention and common sense applied to the use ofthe hook and various slings will prevent possibledamage to material being hoisted and mayprevent injury to personnel.

44. WARNING: Never place a chain link on the tipof the hook and try to lift a load with the hoist.

45. WARNING: Never use a sling bar or anythinglarger than the hook throat which could preventthe safety latch from closing, thus negating thesafety feature.

46. If the crane is equipped with an optional winch: do NOT allow personnel to ride on

loadline, hook, load, or any other deviceattached to winch line.

do NOT extend boom without reeling offline at the same time when using winch.

do pull load-block up against the boom tip.47. Do not wrap the wire rope around sharp objects

when using winch.48. WARNING: Never unreel last 5 wraps of cable

from drum.

EXCEPTIONS

A. The danger zone may be entered after confirmationby an appointed person that the electrical distributionand transmission lines have been de-energized andvisibly grounded at the point of work; or

B. The danger zone may be entered if insulatingbarriers (not a part of nor an attachment to the crane)have been erected to prevent physical contact withthe lines.

23. For lines rated 50 kV or below, minimumclearance between the lines and any part of thecrane or load (including handling appendages)shall be 10-ft. (3m). For higher voltages, seeTable1.

24. Caution shall be exercised when working nearoverhead lines, because they can movehorizontally or vertically due to wind, moving thedanger zone to new positions.

25. In transit with no load and boom lowered theclearance shall be specified in Table 1.

26. A qualified signalperson shall be assigned toobserve the clearance and give warning beforeapproaching the above limits.

A. Any overhead wire shall be considered to be anenergized line unless and until the personowning such line or the electrical utilityauthorities verify that it is not an energized line.

B. Exceptions to this procedure, if approved by theadministrative or regulatory authority if thealternate procedure provides equivalentprotection and set forth in writing.

C. Durable signs shall be installed at the operator'sstation and on the outside of the crane, warningthat electrocution or serious bodily injury mayoccur unless a minimum clearance of 10 ft.(3.0m) between the crane or the load beinghandled and energized power lines.

INSPECTION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCEGENERAL

INSPECTION CLASSIFICATION

1. Initial inspection. Prior to initial use, all new,altered, modified or extensively repaired cranesshall be inspected by a designated person toinsure compliance with provisions of thisstandard.

2. Regular inspection. Inspection procedure forcranes in regular service is divided into twogeneral classifications based upon the intervalsat which inspection should be performed. Theintervals in turn are dependent upon the natureof the components of the crane and the degreeof their exposure to wear, deterioration, ormalfunction. The two general classifications areherein designated as "frequent" and "periodic"with respective intervals between inspectionsas defined below.A. frequent inspection - daily to monthly intervalsB. periodic inspection - one to twelve intervals or

as specifically recommended by themanufacturer

FREQUENT INSPECTION

3. Inspection shall be performed by designatedpersonnel.A. control mechanisms for maladjustment

interfering with proper operation - daily, whenused

by a qualified person and shall be based onsuch factors as1. expected rope life as determined by

experience on the particular installation orsimilar installations

2. severity of environment3. percentage of capacity lifts4. frequency rates of operation5. exposure to shock loads

Inspection need not be at equal calendarintervals and should be more frequent as therope approaches the end of it's service life.This inspection shall be made at leastannually.

B. Periodic inspection shall be performed by adesignated person. This inspection shall coverthe entire length of the rope. Only the surfacewires need be inspected. No attempt should bemade to open the rope. Any deteriorationresults in appreciable loss of original strength,such as described below, shall be noted anddetermination made as to whether use of therope would constitute a hazard: points listedabove reduction of rope diameter belownominal diameter due to loss of core support,internal or external corrosion, or wear ofoutside wires; severely corroded, cracked,bent, worn or improperly applied connections;

C. Care shall be taken when inspecting sectionssubject to rapid deterioration such as thefollowing:1. sections in contact with saddles, equalizer

sheaves, or other sheaves where ropetravel is limited

2. sections of the rope at or near terminalends where corroded or broken wires mayprotrude

ROPE REPLACEMENT

33. No precise rules can be given for determinationof the exact time for replacement of rope, sincemany variable factors are involved.

Continued use in this respect depends upon goodjudgement by a designated person in evaluatingremaining strength in a used rope after allowancefor deterioration disclosed by inspection.Continued rope operation depends upon thisremaining strength.

34. Conditions such as the following shall bereason for questioning continued use of therope or increasing the frequency of inspection:A. in running ropes, six randomly distributed

broken wires in one lay or three broken wiresin one strand in one lay

B. one outer wire broken at the contact point withthe core of the rope structure and protrudes orloops out of the rope structure. Additionalinspection of this section is required

(38 mm)

G. In standing ropes, more than two broken wiresin one lay in sections beyond end connectionsor more than one broken wire at an endconnection.

2-1112/2002

INSPECTION, TESTING AND MAINTENANCEGENERAL

H. Replacement rope shall have a strength ratingat least as great as the original rope furnishedor recommended by the crane manufacturer.Any deviation from the original size, grade, orconstruction shall be specified by a ropemanufacturer, or a qualified person.

35. Rope not in regular use: all rope which hasbeen idle for a period of a month or more dueto shutdown or storage of a crane on which it isinstalled, shall be given and inspection inaccordance with above information before it isplaced in service. This inspection shall be forall types of deterioration and shall beperformed by a qualified person.

36. Inspection recordsA. A. frequent inspection- no records

requiredB. A. periodic inspections- in order to

establish data as a basis for judging theproper time for replacement, a dated reportcondition at each periodic inspectionshould be kept on file. This report shallcover points of deterioration listed above.

ROPE MAINTENANCE

37. Rope should be stored to prevent damage ordeterioration.

38. Unreeling or uncoiling of rope shall be done asrecommended by the rope manufacturer andwith care to avoid kinking or inducing twist.

39. Before cutting a rope, seizing shall be placedon each side of the place where the rope is to

be cut to prevent unlaying of the strands. Onpre-formed rope, one seizing on each side ofthe cut is required. On non-preformed ropes of7/8 in. (22 mm) diameter or smaller, twoseizings on each side of the cut are required,and for non-preformed rope 1 in. (25 mm)diameter or larger, three seizings on each sideof the cut are required.

40. During installation care should be exercised toavoid dragging of the rope in the dirt or aroundobjects which will scrape, nick crush or inducesharp bends in it.

41. Rope should be maintained in a well-lubricatedcondition. It is important that lubricant appliedas a part of a maintenance program shall becompatible with the original lubricant and tothis end the rope manufacturer should beconsulted. Lubricant applied shall be the typewhich does not hinder visual inspection. Thosesections of rope which are located oversheaves or otherwise hidden during inspectionand maintenance procedures require specialattention when lubricating rope. The object ofrope lubrication is to reduce internal frictionand to prevent corrosion.

42. When an operating rope shows greater wear orwell defined localized areas than on theremainder of the rope, rope life can beextended in cases where a section at the wornend, and thus shifting the wear to differentareas of the rope.

MAINTENANCE OF BATTERIES

2-139/98

Maintenance of Auto Crane unit batteries differs verylittle from the generally prescribed maintenance of anylead acid battery. All batteries must be kept properlycharged, properly filled with water, and relatively clean.

Keep Properly Charged

Many things affect the proper charge to a battery, suchas:

1 Regulator settings

2 Proper tightness of belts on the alternatoror generator

3 Good, clean connections of all cablesand wires at the following places:A. BatteryB. RegulatorC. Starting motorD. Alternator or generatorE. Ground connections (most important)

It is of extreme importance to keep the battery as fullycharged as possible without overcharging, especiallywhen vehicles are left outside for extended periods inextremely cold climates. A battery can freeze. Freezingpoints for various specific gravities of acid are asfollows:

Specific Gravity Freezing Temp.(Corrected to 80ºF) Degrees F.

1.280 -90ºF 1.250 -62ºF 1.200 -16ºF 1.150 5ºF 1.100 19ºF

As shown, a half-charged battery (about 1.200 specificgravity) cannot stand for any length of time at 20ºF or itwill freeze.

The main reason for keeping the battery as fully chargedas possible without over-charging is to ensure that poweris available even though the vehicle has been standingfor some time.

Keep Properly Filled with Water

The battery should always be properly filled with water.If the electrolyte level is allowed to fall below the top ofthe plates, the results become threefold:

1 The exposed portion of the plate will becomesulfated.

2 The portion of the plate exposed is not usable.

3 That portion of the acid remaining becomes moreconcentrated and may cause more rapid deteriorationof the remaining parts of the battery.

Keep A Relatively Clean Battery

The battery should be kept clean. Batteries filled withacid and which are not in use self-discharge to a limiteddegree because of the nature of the materials within thebattery. If dirt is allowed to collect on the top of thebattery (and this dirt absorbs moisture) and electrical pathcan be set up between the various terminals of the batteryand the ground. Once such a path has been established,the self-discharge of the battery is accelerated. This alsoaccelerates corrosion of the battery cables at theterminals.

Periodic Maintenance is Needed

A definite program of periodic maintenance of allbatteries should be conducted on a regular basis. Periodicmaintenance includes:

1 Checking belts for tightness on the chargingequipment

2 Checking battery electrolyte levels

3 Checking cables for good connections

4 Cleaning where corrosion is apparent

When corrosion is cleaned off, the cable terminals andbattery terminals should be coated with a light coating ofpetroleum jelly before they are replaced. When terminalsare cleaned, the top of the battery should be cleaned witha mild solution of soda water.

MAINTENANCE OF BATTERIES

2-149/98

Low Maintenance Batteries(Maintenance Free)

Low maintenance batteries should not be used onAuto Cranes or trucks equipped with Auto Cranes.The batteries are not designed for "deep" discharge.

Testing Your Battery

If the condition of the battery is in question, it should beremoved from the vehicle, taken to the shop, andallowed to reach room temperature. It should then berecharged until specific gravity readings taken at one-half hour intervals. If the specific gravity readings arefairly uniform, the battery should be checked with a highrate tester. Use the tester in accordance with themanufacturer's instructions. The high rate tester is thebest method to test a questionable battery.

If, after charging, it is noted that the specific gravityreading of one cell is 30 points less than any of the othercells, it may be assumed that the cell is bad and that thebattery should be replaced. If all cells are uniform butnot up to full charge, a low rate of charge should beattempted for an extended time. This usually willrecover a badly sulfated battery.

Replacing a Battery

If it is necessary to replace a battery, and a dry chargebattery is used, the following procedure applies:

1 Fill the battery with electrolyte of the proper specificgravity.

2 Place the battery on charge according to themanufacturer's instructions.

It is essential that the second step above be followed toensure that the battery going on the vehicle is fullycharged.

It is also very important that the battery hold-downs bechecked periodically to ensure that the batteries areproperly positioned to avoid vibration problems, breakageof cables or terminals. Care must be taken to avoidcracking or breaking containers or covers by tighteninghold-down fixtures excessively. They also must not be soloose that breakage results from a hold-down that is tooloose.

PROBLEM CAUSE/SOLUTION

CRANE WILL NOT HOISTUP OR DOWN.

CAUSE:Bad relay, crane not grounded properly, or power cable notconnected to 12V power source. Bad switch in pendant, brokenwire in pendant connector, pendant not plugged togetherproperly, wire on relay not in proper place or lead wires to motornot connected properly.

SOLUTION:Problems can be solved by replacing bad relay, groundingthe crane properly to the truck chassis, connecting the powercable properly to 12V+ power source, switch in pendant canbe replaced, cord in remote control can be replaced, checkconnector on cord to make sure of contact of all the prongson it are plugged together correctly, make sure wires onrelays are according to the wiring print supplied with eachnew crane in the owner book and also wires going to motorare connected properly. NOTE: 12V must pass throughopposite relay to complete circuit.

WITH LOAD SENSOR (OPT.)CRANE WILL NOT HOIST UPOR BOOM UP OR DOWN

CAUSE:Crane is overloaded.Sensor switch is bad.Bad connection to relays.

SOLUTION:Hoist down. Do not overload crane. Replace sensor switch.Check for loose or damaged wiring.

CRANE RUNS UP OR DOWNANY TIME POWER SOURCEIS CONNECTED.

CAUSE:Relay stuck in run position which will let crane run up or downany time 12V power is connected. Wires shorted together inremote control. Lead or cable can also cause this problem.Wires jumped across relay in wrong place can cause crane torun all the time.

SOLUTION:Problem can be solved by checking the relay and replacingthe relay or removing jumper wires from the relay orreplacing the remote control cord or switch.

TROUBLESHOOTING2003 SERIES

HOW TO CHECK RELAY:Our relays are normally closed across thebottom posts (C & D). When activated, theywill open across (C & D) and close across A& B). To activate these relays, use 12Vpositive and 12V negative wires and placethem on posts (F & E). You may place 12V+on post F or E as long as you place 12V onthe remaining post (F & E) using an ohmmeter or test light. Check across posts (A &B). You should get an ohm reading or yourtest light should be on when you have therelay activated. With the relay still activated,check across posts (C & D). You shouldhave no ohm reading or test light at this pointwith relay activated. (At this point, disconnect12V+ and 12V– from posts (F & E).

This should let relay return to its normalposition. Using your ohm meter or test lightagain, check the relay across posts (A & B).If relay is working correctly, you should haveno reading at all. Then check across posts(C & D). You should have an ohm reading ortest light should be on. If you get the aboveresults, relay is okay. If you get any variationin the above explanation on the relay you arechecking, check the relay again. If it stillshows a difference, the relay is bad andshould be replaced. NOTE: The aboveexplanation is with relays completelydisconnected from all wires on motorcircuits and ground wires. These circuitscan give you false readings sometimes.
