OPERATING CRANE–CONTINUED
HOISTING AND TOW WINCHING
CAPACITIES–SPADE PROPERLY EMPLACED
With spade properly emplaced (view A, page
2-74 represents left side of plate), a 15,000
lb (6,810 kg) load may be hoisted safely at
any boom elevation throughout cab turning
range. However, with boom at its level posi-
tion (full down), and hoisting a 30,000 lb
(13,620 kg) load, a distance of 11 feet (3.35
m) to either side of lengthwise centerline of
vehicle in maximum cab may be turned. To
move 30,000 lb (13,620 kg) to a distance
greater than 11 feet (3.35 m) from vehicle
lengthwise centerline, boom must be elevated
to its maximum raised position for load situa-
tion to remain in white (safe) area.

With spade retracted or improperly emplaced
(view B, page 2-74, represents right side of

safely hoisted at any boom elevation
throughout cab turning range. A load of
30,000 lb (13,620 kg) may be hoisted only
with boom at its fully elevated position. With
boom in fully raised position, 30,000 lb
(13,620 kg) load may be moved throughout
cab range. When operating in white area, a
maximum of 30,000 lb (13,620 kg) may be
hoisted; when operating in shaded areas, a
