Tadano RTF 40-3 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

The RTF 40-3 is a multi-axle all terrain crane. It drives to site on public roads, then sets up and works with its telescopic boom. A used crane that arrives without the book in the cab is a common reason people look for this manual, since the next operator still needs the control layout and setup sequence in hand.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments before you take the crane out for the first time.
• Follow the safety instructions in section B.0 before travel, setup and lifting.
• Set up on outriggers in the order the operating instructions lay out.
• Read the load charts and load moment limiter section before you plan a lift.
• Check the daily care and maintenance points the operator is expected to carry out.

Who this is for

A crane operator or relief operator taking over an RTF 40-3 will use it as the reference for setup, operation and daily checks. A rental company or fleet manager can keep it on file with the machine so every handover has the same documents behind it.
