Won the auction for the machine in this previous thread;
https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/showthread.php?57210-Need-Info-on-Lattice-Boom-Truck-Crane
Now there is an element of doubt, never got the upper to start, so not sure the whole operational condition. Putting that aside for right now, what are the controls on this machine? As far as which levers do what, I have no clue how the machine works.
Is there anything that I should know about right off the bat that would cause an accident ie letting a winch or the boom free fall by accident?
Any safe practices I should know about other than staying on the right side of the load chart, make sure the boom doesn't hit anything or get side loaded and making sure outriggers are solid and placed right?
What about slings? What sizes, types and lengths are the handiest? Lots of variables here I'm sure and id imaging this is like machine tools, you just end up with atleast one of everything in every size, but what would be the best "set" to start out with?
As usual, thanks for any and all help.:notworthy
