Tadano ATF 500XL-1 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

The ATF 500XL-1 is a multi-axle all terrain crane. It drives to site on public roads, then sets up and lifts with its telescopic boom. A used crane often arrives without the book in the cab, and a new or relief operator needs the control layout and setup sequence in front of them before the first lift. That's when this manual earns its place.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the driver's cab controls and the instrument panel for the chassis.
• Follow the steps for putting the crane carrier into operation and for gearshift and driving operation.
• Plan the preparations in the chassis for crane operation, including the steps for access to the superstructure.
• Read the notes on load (lifting capacity) and supporting forces charts before you plan a lift.
• Check the safety instructions for the chassis, the emergency control features and the winter operation guidance.

Who this is for

Crane operators and operator trainers will get the most from it. An operator uses it to learn the cab, the instruments and the setup order. A trainer uses it to walk a relief operator through the safety instructions and driving procedures.
