Demag AC 500-2 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

Demag's AC 500-2 is a multi-axle all terrain crane. It drives on public roads, then sets up on site and works with a telescopic boom. This manual is for the operator or relief operator who is taking over the machine and needs the control layout, setup sequence and operating rules in front of them.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments in the crane operator's cab, including heating and ventilation.
• Follow the driving and transport lock procedures before the crane goes on the road.
• Plan counterweight and reeving setups, with the safety equipment checked before a lift.
• Operate telescoping, luffing and hook operation "Hoist 1" as the working instructions describe them.
• Read up on the optional equipment sections, such as the main boom extension, luffing fly jib and lateral superlift.

Who this is for

A crane operator or relief operator will use it as the reference for cab controls, setup and day-to-day working. A fleet manager at a rental company will want it on file with the machine so every handover has the operating rules to hand.
