The load charts are based on the limitations below.

1. The loads shown above the bold line are limited by the crane’s structural or hydraulic capacity.
2. The loads shown below the bold line are limited by the crane’s stability.
3. The loads shown in the chart do not include the weight of a hook block, slings, cable, or other lifting devices.  Their weight should be subtracted from the loads in the chart.  The weight of the multiple line hook block shall be 375 lbs and the weight of the single line hook block shall be 125 lbs.  The weight of the cable shall be 0.69 lbs/ft. Do not two-block.
4. Crane stability is based on 85% tipping on the outriggers and 75% tipping on the tires.
5. The crane is controlled to move the first two crane sections together (tip and second sections).  These two sections will be fully extended before the first section is extended.
6. Load should be lifted with the shortest boom possible.
7. The crane shall be operated at reduced loads when used in hazardous operating conditions such as:
   1. Soft uneven ground
   2. Out of level ground
   3. High winds
   4. Side loads
   5. Pendulum action
   6. Jerking or stopping of loads
   7. Hazardous conditions
   8. Experience of personnel
   9. Traveling with loads
   10. Electric wires
   11. Etc.
8. Side pulls on the boom are hazardous and should be avoided.
9. Do not lift a load unless the weight of the load is known.
10. Be sure the load is rigged and secured properly.
11. Verify the hook has a working safety latch.
12. Make sure the wire rope is in good condition and has a sufficient number of wraps on the winch drum.
13. Verify personnel are clear.
14. Rated loads on the tires depend on the tire condition.  14:00 x 24-16 ply tires should be at 80 psi. 17.5 x 25-14 ply tires should be at 65 psi.
15. Maximum speed for the pick and carry condition is 2 ½ MPH.
16. If positioning a load by crowding, the lower crowd should be used.
17. Do not operate at radii or boom angles not shown in the chart.
18. Load chart data generated in accordance with ASME B30.5-2007 and SAE J1078 APR86
19. All stability loads assume level firm ground (<1% slope).
20. Lifting should only be performed with a functioning LMI.
