National Crane 600E2 Boom Truck Operator Manual

A National Crane 600E2 is a telescopic boom crane mounted on a truck chassis. It drives to the site, sets up on outriggers and lifts loads where a fixed crane can't reach. The manual is what a new or relief operator opens before taking over the controls, so the first lift follows the book and not guesswork.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments, including what each warning light and gauge is telling you.
• Follow the sequence for setting up on outriggers before the boom comes off the rest.
• Read the load charts and understand how anti-two block protects the boom and winch.
• Operate the boom and winch using the crane operation procedures.
• Plan the move with preparing for travel steps, so the crane is secured before it rolls.

Who this is for

The crane operator is the main reader. Use it to learn the control layout, run through the setup order and check your habits against the safety rules. Operator trainers will find it useful as a reference when walking a new hand through the machine, including hand signals.
