  Some one use to have a sign service company.<br>There is also a high and low range in the gear box. Get the boom up and it will come back in under its own weight.<br>Ran one of those for several years. Got to be fast on those line brakes. Also you wind up riding the line break for the boom in or it will get away from you.<br>Always slack your load line when booming out and you are not suppose to boom in or out under load. Also the generator needs to be charging when you run the Crain or you will kill those battery&apos;s quick actually working it. Think of them more as capacitors. Another big thing is do not let you cable cross up or bird nest. Try to always keep tensions on the cable. And grease the boom there are grease points up at the end.<br> I ran one with a man basket on the end servicing whiffed house signs. &nbsp;Those booms are ment to fish pole a bit under load but they do not like heavy stuff on a long stick. Use low gear on the load line and learn to pulse the rotation and father the lift hydroliks.

  I have two of those cranes, after your done using the crane and before you start lowering it to the cradle hit the retract button and the sticks will slide in. We generally try and avoid pulling them in with the load line its stress on the cable and you dont want to be standing behind the base of the crane if a cable snaps.

  I put a Connection on my air tanks to use Air Tools or Tire Inflater... add a shutoff valve and Quick Coupler and you can use air tools on the job....or fill your tires !!

  Hearing that old CAT come to life brought back a lot of memories. I drove a ready mix truck with a 3208 . They were really tough engine. They ran great wide open. We would run them like we stode them.
