Demag AC 535 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

The AC 535 is a multi-axle all terrain crane that drives to the job on public roads, then sets up and lifts with its telescopic boom. When a used crane arrives without the book in the cab, or a relief operator is taking over, this is the manual people want in hand before anyone touches the controls. It gives the operator the rules for running this machine, from setup to the daily checks.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the layout of the crane operator's cab, including the heating and ventilation controls.
• Follow the safety instructions and check the safety equipment before each shift.
• Plan the setup, from fitting and removing the main boom to counterweight and reeving.
• Operate telescoping, luffing, slewing the superstructure, and hoist 1 and hoist 2 (optional).
• Read the working instructions for the main boom extension and head sheave.

Who this is for

A crane operator or relief operator will use it as the reference for controls, setup sequence and working instructions on the AC 535. A rental or hire company fleet manager will keep it on file with the machine so every handover starts from the same document.

FAQ

Q: What do I receive and how is it organised?

A: You get the set: 3 PDF files, 1,107 pages in total, in English and German. It holds two manuals, Publication T3 (282 pages) and Manual 2 (825 pages), which is the main manual.

Q: Which machine does it fit?

A: It is for the Demag AC 535 all terrain crane. The titles read AC 535 Carrier Operation Manual and AC 535 Upper Operation Manual, so the carrier and the upper are both covered by the set.

Q: How does it fit what I'm doing?

A: If you're putting an operator in the seat or building a file for the crane, the sections run from the foreword and safety instructions through the cab, engine, transmission, brakes and steering to the boom and hoist work. That is the order an operator needs.

Put the AC 535 back on the shelf with its book, and hand the next operator something to read before the first lift.
