National Crane 1500 Boom Truck Service Manual

A National Crane 1500 puts a telescopic boom on a truck chassis, so one rig can drive to a site, set up on outriggers and lift loads without a separate crane. When something on it stops working, the person with the wrench needs workshop procedures, not guesswork. That's usually a technician fixing the crane in-house, or a shop that just received a used unit with no paperwork.

What this manual helps you do

• Diagnose hydraulic system problems by following the troubleshooting steps before you start replacing parts.
• Remove and rebuild components on the boom and hoist, working from the repair procedures.
• Adjust and test functions as the manual describes under maintenance and adjustment.
• Trace faults in the electrical system and confirm the repair worked.
• Replace outrigger and turntable and slewing components in the right order.

Who this is for

A crane service technician, rental fleet mechanic or independent repair shop working on a National Crane 1500. It also suits a dealer technician who needs a procedure in front of them before pulling a component apart.

FAQ

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

A: You get one PDF file of 186 pages in English. It's published as CTRL035-03, and the title wording on it is "1500 Series Telescoping Crane Operation and Service Manual."

Q: Which machine does it fit?

A: It's written for the National Crane 1500, the boom truck model. Check your crane against that model and series name and you'll know where you stand.

Q: How does it fit the job I'm doing?

A: If you're repairing, adjusting or troubleshooting the crane yourself, a service manual like this is the document you keep open at the bench or beside the truck. You'd expect to find procedures for the hydraulic system, electrical system and the other main assemblies.

Open it before you start a teardown, and you'll have the procedure and the test steps ready for the next repair on your 1500.
