OPERATION
8000 SERIES OWNER’S MANUAL
The 8000 crane is designed to provide excellent service if operated within the maximum allowable load
specifications stated on the unit’s “Angle Indicator Plate” located on either side of the boom. load charts are also
included on pages 6 and 7. The load information charts should be studied before operating the crane. Exceeding
the stated load limit can cause tipping or structural failure. You should familiarize yourself with proper operation
procedures to avoid overloading the crane. As an example: If a load of 5000 pounds were lifted at an 11’ boom
length at 30°, lowering the boom would cause an overload situation.
The 8000 crane is relatively simple to operate. Prior to field use, you should familiarize yourself with the controls
and how the unit reacts to the controls. Practice operations should be performed with a light test weight
progressing to a heavier test weight.

• Connect the winch cable eye to the pin on the bottom of the manually extendible boom section.
• Insert cable through the snatch block by removing the cotter pin and disassembling.
• eassemble the snatch block. Be sure to reinsert the cotter pin in the snatch block.
You should also use a “two-part” line for loads under 4000 pounds if you want to slow down the line speed of
the cable.

It must be understood that all load ratings are formulated on 85% of tipping. Tipping is defined as a tire breaking
contact with the ground. Furthermore, all load ratings are dependent upon compliance with the following:
• The unit has been correctly installed in accordance with chassis requirements and truck body manufacturer’s
specifications.
• The intended operation is carried out on a level, solid surface with proper outrigger placement.

1. Position the 8000 crane as close to the job as possible on a firm, dry, and level surface. Avoid overhead
obstruction on the work side of the unit.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Extend and lower the outriggers until firm ground contact is made. On soft ground, use bearing pads to
prevent sinking or tipping.
4. un the winch line out before extending the boom.
5. Make sure the connection to the load is secure and will not come loose when lifting the load.

The 8000 crane is equipped with a counterbalance valve inside the lift cylinder to protect against overloading. In
an overload condition, the boom will not elevate. Attempts to winch the load will cause a downward feathering of
the boom until the overload condition is reduced. The counterbalance valve will also keep the boom from coming
down in the unlikely event of a rupture to the hydraulic hoses that supply oil to the lift cylinder.
A pressure sensitive switch is also located in the lifting cylinder that can detect an overload situation. This causes
a shutdown of the winch up, boom extension out, and boom lower functions, and automatically resets after the
crane has been moved out of overload position.
An anti-two block feature is also provided on L X models
.
OTATION STOP

OTATION STOP
A stop to prevent the unit from rotating continuously is located on the crane base. The stop is installed so that a
full 360° plus is obtained. A stop lever is attached to the turret and extends so that it will contact the rotation stop
on the base assembly. Do not remove the stop assembly. Continuous rotation will result in damage to the wiring
harness and/or hydraulic hoses.

ELIEF VALVES
ELIEF VALVESELIEF VALVES
ELIEF VALVES
The 8000 crane requires a relief valve located at the reservoir to maintain crane operating pressure at 2850 PSI.
This relief valve is not supplied unless using a s hydraulic reservoir. It is the customer’s responsibility to
provide this relief valve when using a reservoir not supplied by s. The main function of this relief valve is
to prevent overloading of the system if the boom is inadvertently rotated against an immovable object, while one
of the other hydraulic functions is also being used. The relief valves would not normally require adjustment, but if
the correct relief valve setting is suspect, refer to the maintenance section of this manual for the proper
adjustment and testing procedure.

HYD AULIC FLUID SPECIFICATION
Minimum viscosity specifications for hydraulic oil to be used in the crane should be Chevron AW68 or equivalent
to eliminate the necessity of seasonal oil changes under normal temperature conditions. For operations in below
freezing temperature, use a hydraulic fluid having a viscosity of 3000 SSU’s.
Operating temperature of the hydraulic fluid should be within the range of 120°F—160°F (49°C—82°C).
NOTE
NOTENOTE
NOTE: Arctic conditions present special requirements and considerations. Consult your oil supplier for the proper
fluid for working under these severe conditions.
In addition to meeting the viscosity requirements, hydraulic fluid used in the system should contain the following
additives:
• Anti-foam inhibitors
• Antioxidant inhibitors
• Anti-wear additives
• ust resistant additives

Air that is trapped in the cylinder will cause an erratic “bumpy” condition. To expel the air, hold the affected
control open after the function has “bottomed out”. Move the function in the opposite direction and again hold
the control open. Attempt to operate the crane in a normal manner to determine if the air has been purged.
When purging is complete, reevaluate hydraulic fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

Contamination of the hydraulic oil by solvents, water, dust or other abrasives will result in premature breakdown
of the oil’s anti-foam, lubrication, anti-rust and viscosity properties. Periodically, a sample of the hydraulic oil in
the system should be drawn off and its condition checked for breakdown. To check quality:
1. Place oil sample in a clean glass.
2. Smell oil to detect a burnt or rancid odor.
3. Examine the oil for a cloudy or dark color.
4. Allow the sample to stand for several minutes and inspect it for water, which will settle to the bottom.
When any of the results above are observed, the system should be purged to the bottom and filled with new oil.

procedure for purging the system is as follows:
1. Locate the unit in an area that provides solid, level footing and space to accommodate the full operating
range of the crane.
2. Stabilize the unit with the outriggers. Move the crane to either side of the truck and extend the lift
cylinder.
3. Drain the hydraulic fluid from the reservoir and clean the suction line filter.
4. emove the reservoir return line. efill the reservoir with Chevron AW68 or equivalent. Direct the return
line into a sump waste container.
5. otate the crane 90 degrees, retract the extension boom, lower the main boom and operate the winch
up and down for approximately ten seconds.
6. All components are now purged. eplace the return line filter cartridge and reinstall the return line to the
reservoir.
7.
Check the reservoir fluid level and add fluid to within one half inch (1/2”) of the top. The boom elevation
and extension cylinders must be fully retracted when refilling the reservoir.

5. The 8000 crane comes with an optional pre-plumbed eighteen (18) gallon reservoir. The s reservoir
assembly comes with a suction screen, return line filter, relief valve, filler, sight gauge, strainer, tank cap and
breather. The mounting of the reservoir is an integral part of tank design and will bolt directly into brackets
that are preinstalled in the s crane body in the compartment under the crane-mounting surface ( H
rear compartment). Prior to mounting the tank, a three-inch (3”) diameter access hole must be added to the
back of the compartment for routing suction and pressure lines along with the power wire. An optional
between-the-frame tank is also available
6. un the power lead to the front of the truck. Locate the lead so that it will be protected. Install cable clamps
to hold the wire securely in place.
7. Connect the power wire to the positive terminal on the vehicle battery. A 15-amp in-line fuse must be
installed near the battery to protect harness from electrical shorts.
8. econnect the negative battery cable. The 8000 crane is self-grounding and does not require an additional
ground cable.
9. The 8000 crane requires a six (6) gallon/minute flow rate at 2850 PSI to operate efficiently. It is your

responsibility to choose the correct P.T.O. and pump that will suit this requirement and fit the transmission
that is on the truck. The P.T.O. and pump supplier you use will offer assistance in making the correct
selection.
10. A throttle advance should also be used to keep the engine PM’s high enough to produce the required flow
and pressure. There are many types available depending on your preference. The simplest type is a vernier
control cable that must be set with each use. There are other types available that will advance throttle on
demand and return idle to normal automatically. These are available in both hydraulic activated and
electronically activated.
11. Connect the hydraulic lines as shown in figure shown on the next page.

12. The suction line from tank to pump should be a minimum of one-inch (1”) diameter. The pressure line from
the pump to the relief valve must be a minimum of one-half inch (1/2”) diameter hose - SAE100 2. The
connection at the relief valve is a one-half inch, 37 degree (1/2”-37°) JIC male fitting.

these two (suction & pressure) lines.
13. The proper length hoses are supplied with the crane for hookup to the reservoir. Both the pressure and return
lines in the crane are one-half inch, 37 degree (1/2”-37°) JIC. If the reservoir is mounted in a location other
than the right rear compartment, additional hoses will need to be made. The crane pressure line (running up
the center to revolving connections) connects to a fitting on top of the relief valve. The crane return line
(coming from the rotation valve) connects to the one-half inch (1/2”) JIC fitting between the relief valve and
return line filter.
