Tadano BKF 35-4 Recovery Crane Operator Manual

A BKF 35-4 is a heavy recovery and towing vehicle with a crane superstructure. It gets called out to lift, tow and clear vehicles on roads and job sites, so the person at the controls needs the setup sequence and warning displays right every time. If a relief operator is taking over the crane, this is the manual to hand them.

What this manual helps you do

• Read the safety instructions before the first lift, using the Teil B0 (Sicherheitshinweise) section.
• Operate the load moment limiter correctly with Teil F (Bedienung der Lastmomentbegrenzung LMB).
• Check the crane against the test instructions in Teil D1 (Kran – Prüfanweisung).
• Follow the care and maintenance routine for daily checks and lubrication in Teil C (Pflege und Wartung).
• Look up the fault procedures in Teil E (Beheben von Störungen) when something trips on the job.

Who this is for

A crane operator uses it as the working reference for controls, limiter operation and daily checks. A fleet manager or rental company keeps it on file so every handover to a new operator follows the same documented rules.
