National Crane 600H Boom Truck Operator Manual

A National Crane 600H is a telescopic boom crane mounted on a truck chassis. It gets driven to a site, set up on outriggers, and used to pick and place loads. If a used 600H just rolled in with no book in the cab, this operator manual is what the next person behind the controls will want in hand before the first lift.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments, and what each warning light and gauge is telling you.
• Follow the sequence for setting up on outriggers before you lift anything.
• Read the load charts and understand how the anti-two block system protects the boom and winch.
• Operate the boom and winch with the crane operation rules in front of you.
• Plan for travel by working through the steps for preparing for travel.

Who this is for

A new or relief operator uses this manual to learn the control layout and setup order before taking the crane out. A buyer of a used 600H, or a rental company, keeps it with the machine so the operating rules and hand signals are on file for whoever runs it next.
