Tadano TM-ZR500XL-4 Cargo Crane Operator Manual

A Tadano TM-ZR500XL-4 is a cargo crane that loads and unloads on a real job, lifting freight on and off trucks and decks. A used crane often shows up without the book in the cab, and that's when a relief operator or the new owner goes looking for the operator manual. This one is written for the TM-ZR500XL-4 and gives you the operating rules in one place.

What this manual helps you do

• Check the machine before operation using the Before Operation section.
• Set the outriggers by following the Rules for Operation (Outriggers).
• Follow the general operating rules, plus the rules for weather, power lines and radio waves.
• Plan road moves with the Rules for Traveling on Roads and close out the shift with After Operation.
• Inspect the crane and read the warning labels, with their locations and contents, using the Rules for Inspection and Maintenance.

Who this is for

A fleet manager uses it to put the operating rules and daily checks on file for every crane that goes out. An operator taking over a used TM-ZR500XL-4 uses it to learn the controls, the setup sequence and the safety rules before the first lift.
