A four-axle all terrain crane like the GMK 4080-1 drives to the site on public roads, sets up on outriggers and lifts with a telescopic boom. A used crane often arrives without the book in the cab, and the person taking it over needs the operating rules, control layout and setup sequence on file. This manual is the operating document for that job.
What this manual helps you do
- Read the controls and instruments, including the additional page on crane cabin heating controls.
- Follow the basic safety instructions for crane operators before you start work.
- Plan the job using the information for operations planning.
- Set up and rig the crane, then work through crane operation and rigging work step by step.
- Check the diesel engine and driving sections before you take the crane on the road.
Who this is for
A crane operator or relief operator taking over a GMK 4080-1 will use it to learn the controls, the driving modes and the setup routine. A fleet manager or rental company can keep it on file with the machine so every handover works from the same document.
