Demag AC 30 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

The Demag AC 30 is a multi-axle all terrain crane. It drives to site on public roads, then sets up on outriggers and works with a telescopic boom. The operator manual is the book that belongs in the cab, and it's what a relief operator picks up when taking over the crane and needing the control layout and setup sequence in front of them.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the layout of the cabin, controls and instruments before you take the crane out.
• Follow the safety instructions and general notes on operation for every job.
• Plan the drive, from engine, transmission, brakes and steering to parking and towing the crane.
• Set up on outriggers and work through counterweight and reeving steps in the right order.
• Operate slewing, telescoping and luffing, including the main boom extension.

Who this is for

A crane operator or relief operator gets the most from it, using it to learn the controls and run through the setup sequence on this specific machine. A fleet manager at a rental company can keep it on file with the crane so the operating rules are there at every handover.
