Axle steering is accomplished utilizing hydraulic st ‘oyfinders. The engine is mounted at the rear of the crane and provides motive power through a remote mounted, six speed forward and three speed reverse transmission, Hydraulic, double box, sliding beam outriggers with inverted style stabilizer (jack) cylinders are integral with the carrier frame. The carrier frame incorporates an integral fith wheel, to which the rear axle is ‘mounted, to provide axle oscillation. Axle oscillation lockout is automatic when ‘the superstructure rotates from the travel position. ‘The superstructure is capable of 360 degree rotation in either direction. All ‘Crane functions are controlled from the fulyenclosed cab mounted on the su- porstructure. The crane is equipped with a full power, four section, sequenced ‘boom with a cable synchronized fly section, Addtional reach is obtained by uti izing the 29 foot fixed length oftsettable boom extension of an optional 290 51 {oot offsettable boom extension. Lifting is provided by a main hoist and an op- tional auxiliary hoist.

Because you, the operator, are the only partof the crane that can think and re ‘son, your responsiblity is not lessened by the addition of operational aids or warning devices. Indeed, you must guard against acquiring a false sense of se- ‘curity when using them. They are there toassist, not direct the operation. Opera- tional aids or warning devices can be mechanical, electrical, electronic, or a combination thereof. They are subject to failure or misuse and should not be re- lied upon in place of good operating practices.
