Emergency Operations
95 Model 10054 Rev 3/02
This section discusses emergency boom lowering procedures:
Part I In case of loss of engine power or hydraulic pump failure.
Part II In case of hydraulic line failure.
Part I
Loss of Engine Power or Hydraulic Pump Failure
IMPORTANT! In the event of total loss of engine power or hydraulic pump
failure with an elevated load, the situation must be properly evaluated and
dealt with on an individual basis. Contact your local OmniQuip Authorized
Service Center (ASC) or the OmniQuip Service Department at (800) 439-
8959 for specific instructions for your particular situation.
In any event, the vehicle should be secured until the situation has been
properly evaluated. Secure the vehicle by following the procedures below:
1. Clear the area around the vehicle of all personnel.
2. Place the travel select lever in (N) NEUTRAL, move the neutral lock
lever to NEUTRAL LOCK position and engage the parking brake
switch.
3. Block all four wheels.
4. Section off a large area under the boom with string or tape to
restrict any personnel from entering this potentially dangerous area.
5. Temporarily block up or support the outer boom so it cannot be low-
ered.
6. If the load is in a position where it can be removed safely, com-
pletely remove the load from the carriage and/or attachment, other-
wise leave the load in place.
7. Place an accident prevention tag on both the ignition switch and
steering wheel. Refer to “Accident Prevention Tags” on page 5.
Actual accident prevention tags can be found as the last page of
this manual. If you do not have a safety tag, tape over the ignition
switch.
Emergency Boom Lowering
WARNING:
DO NOT get under a raised boom unless the
boom is blocked up. Always block the boom before doing any ser-
vicing that requires the boom to be up.
