Tadano RTF 50-3 and RTF 50-4 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

A Tadano RTF 50-3 or RTF 50-4 is a multi-axle all terrain crane. It drives to site on public roads, then sets up and lifts with a telescopic boom. If you've picked up a used crane without the book in the cab, or a relief operator is taking over, this is the manual that goes back in the cab. It's titled "RTF 50-3 and RTF 50-4 Operators Manual".

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments, so you know what each switch, gauge and warning light is telling you.
• Follow the setup sequence for setting up on outriggers before you start a lift.
• Read the load charts and load moment limiter instructions before you plan a pick.
• Operate the telescopic boom and jib, including hoisting and slewing, the way the manufacturer intends.
• Check the crane daily and prepare for travel before you take it back on the road.

Who this is for

Crane operators and relief drivers who need the control layout and setup steps in front of them. Owner-operators and buyers of a used crane fit too. You get the operating rules and daily checks on file, and a book to hand to the next person who climbs in.
