Tadano HK 65 Truck Crane Operator Manual

A Tadano HK 65 is a truck crane that drives to site, sets up on outriggers and lifts loads with a telescopic boom. When a relief operator takes over the crane, the first thing they want is the book that explains the controls and the setup sequence. This manual is that book, kept with the machine for the person who runs it.

What this manual helps you do

• Read the controls and instruments so you know what each switch, lever and warning light is telling you.
• Follow the setup sequence for setting up on outriggers before the boom leaves its rest.
• Plan each lift with the load charts and load moment limiter in front of you.
• Operate the telescopic boom and jib, hoisting and slewing, the way the manufacturer intends.
• Check the daily inspection and lubrication points before you start the shift.

Who this is for

A crane operator taking over an HK 65 gets the control layout and operating rules in one place. A fleet manager or rental company can keep it on file so every relief operator works from the same instructions.
