American Crane Corporation 900 Crawler Crane Operator Manual

A crawler crane like the 900 does the heavy lifting on long projects, sitting on tracks and working a lattice boom from one spot or moving short distances with the load. If a used 900 came in without the book in the cab, this is what you hand the operator before he climbs up. It gives a new or relief operator the setup sequence, the rules and the daily routine in one place.

What this manual helps you do

• Read the operating and maintenance index to find the section you need fast.
• Follow the boom rigging and jib sections when setting up the machine for a job.
• Check the ratings before you plan a lift.
• Lubricate the crane to the schedule in the lubrication section.
• Learn the air systems and the maintenance and adjustment routines an operator carries out.

Who this is for

A crane operator taking over a 900 uses it for setup, rigging and the daily routine. A buyer of a used crane or a hire company keeps the set on file with the machine so every operator works from the same book.
