and comfortable transport to the work site. The crane is suited for driving on public roads, fully equipped with
counterweights and tools. The chassis is an especially rigid structure to create a good crane support.
In Picture 1-1 you will find the measurements of the SK488 with the AT7 carriage. The dimensions given are the
overall dimensions, axle bases and turning circle.

2. Operation
2.1. Get to know the truck
Picture 2-1
1. Truck cab
Besides driving the crane, with the controls in the truck cab you can support the crane on outriggers and adjust
the carriage axle height.
2. engine housing
3. Storage box/battery box
In this storage box, the batteries are placed.
4. Storage box
This box is lockable and can be used for hoisting equipment.
5. outriggers
At both sides of the truck there are 2 extending outrigger beams (Picture 2-2, 4), and to each beam a hydraulically
operated outrigger (1). These outriggers provide stability during hoisting operation. The outrigger beams have an
antiskid coating (5) to prevent skidding. The outrigger pad holders (3) can be used to facilitate stepping on the
outrigger beam (2).
With a separate (remote) control box the outriggers can be radio controlled. On the rear outrigger beams are
levels to check if the crane set-up is level.

MANUAL SPIERINGS TRUCK AT7
AT7-EN-050420 2-2
Picture 2-2
6. Storage room support plates
To obtain a solid support base on a week ground, support plates can be used. Under the toolbox as well as under
the fuel tank there are 2 support plates each.
7. Hydraulic oil tank
On this side of the truck you will find the hydraulic oil tank.
8. Fuel tank
The fuel tank capacity is 430 litres.
9. Work lamps
To the rear of the cab and truck are mounted work lamps, which can be
switched on/off from the cab.
By unscrewing the knob, the lamp support can be moved to the left and right
(see Picture 2-3).
Picture 2-3
11. Truck ladders
To facilitate getting on the truck, three ladders are mounted. Pick up the
free end of the ladder so the pin comes out of the deck (see Picture 2-4)
and swing the ladder outside the frame. When swinging back the ladder,
make sure the pin returns in the hole.
Picture 2-4
12. Coupling camera
For easy coupling of the dolly, a camera is mounted on the truck. The camera view is shown on the truck cab’s
monitor.
13. Hydraulic quick-coupling dolly
14. Parking brake dolly
15. Steering system control box dolly

MANUAL SPIERINGS TRUCK AT7
AT7-EN-050420 2-3
2.2. Truck cab
In the truck cab you drive the crane safely and comfortably to its destination. This chapter makes you familiar with
the cab.
2.2.1. Getting in
Use the step under the door. Make use of the steering wheel to hold on to.
2.2.2. Doors
Turn the handle up to open the door from the inside. The door can only be locked up from the outside.
There is an ashtray on the inside of the door. After opening the ashtray, you push the locking device down to
remove the ashtray from the holder to empty it.
Use the switches on the dashboard to operate the door windows electronically.
2.2.3. Wing mirrors
The wing mirrors may be adjusted by hand. Make sure the mirrors are adjusted before driving off, so that you
have satisfactory view. The mirror heating can be switched on with the switch on the control panel.
2.2.4. Seats
The cab has room for the driver and a co-driver. The driver's seat has pneumatic
suspension. The seats' position can be adjusted. This should only be done when
the vehicle stands still.
A) Back adjustment
B) Lumbar support adjustment (push = pumping up an pull = deflating)
C) Height adjustment (pulling the handle = up and pushing it = down)
D) Tipping the seat
E) Handle fast lowering
F) Adjustment seat

2.2.5. Safety seatbelts
For the safety of the driver, the seats of the Spierings cab are equipped with seatbelts.
Caution!
The seatbelts should always be used while driving in the Spierings crane.
1. Before using the seatbelts, always check the emergency locking
mechanism of the retractor.
Firmly pull the metal mating plate of the buckle downwards (Picture
2-6).
The retractor should lock
Picture 2-6
Beware!
It is prohibited to drive in the crane if the emergency locking mechanism is out of order.
2. Slowly pull the seatbelt over the shoulder and lap and lock the metal mating plate in the buckle. (Picture 2-7)
Picture 2-7

MANUAL SPIERINGS TRUCK AT7
AT7-EN-050420 2-5
3. Make sure the seatbelt is securely fastened
(check buckle) and check the tension of the
seatbelt.
4. Release the seatbelt by pressing the release
button on the buckle (Picture 2-8).
Picture 2-8
While using the seatbelts make sure that:
1. The seatbelt is used by one person at a time.
2. The webbing of the seatbelt is not twisted.
3. The webbing of the seatbelt does not rub against sharp edges.
4. No hard or breakable items (for example spectacles or pens) are between the webbing of the seatbelt and
the person using the seatbelt.
5. The opening for the metal mating plate of the buckle is free from small items (for example pieces of paper).
These items could cause failure of the buckle lock mechanism.
6. Do not wear very thick clothing (for example winter jacket) because this could cause failure of the emergency
locking mechanism.
Maintenance of the seatbelts:
1. Keep the webbing, the buckle and retractor of the seatbelts clean and free from dust and small item at all
times.
2. Clean the webbing of the seatbelts with a regular cleaning product only.
3. In case of an accident the emergency locking mechanism should always be replaced.
4. Only authorized/certified persons are allowed to repair or replace seatbelts.
2.2.6. Storage room
In the middle of the cab ceiling is a storage compartment. It has a lockable lid at the driver's side and at the side
of the co-driver.
2.2.7. Sun blind
To prevent sunlight from blinding you, a sun blind is mounted above the windscreen for the driver and the co-
driver. Pull down the blind with the joggle in the middle of the blind. The blind will remain in the desired position.
Push the button on the side of the blind to roll it up

MANUAL SPIERINGS TRUCK AT7
AT7-EN-050420 2-6
2.2.8. Fuse box
The fuse box is at the co-driver's side in the centre console (Picture 2-9, B). You will find the fuses listed in the
enclosures.
2.2.9. Windscreen washer reservoir
(Picture 2-9, C)
2.2.10. Central lubrication system (optional)
The central lubricating system controls are on the centre panel at the co-driver's side. It can be opened by means
of 2 clamps (Picture 2-9, B).
Picture 2-9
2.2.11. Battery charger remote control batteries
You will find the battery charger for the remote controls on the left under the dashboard at the driver's side
(Picture 2-9, D).
Every remote control comes with 2 batteries each. While the batteries are charged, the indicator lamp lights up.
As soon as they are fully charged, the lamp starts flashing.
2.2.12. Fire extinguisher
One fire extinguisher is behind the co-driver's seat. On the right behind the control box in the crane cab is the
second fire extinguisher.
The fire extinguishers must be inspected every year by the authorities
