IMT 2003i Technical Specifications & Parts Manual # 99904385
Ground Support
Position the carrier vehicle on a firm, level surface for adequate stabilizer support. If stabilizers
appear to bury themselves in a less than firm surface, then DO NOT perform a lift until a suitable
location is found. DO NOT position the stabilizers near sharp drop-offs or areas of uncertain
firmness.
Before a lift is made, be certain that the parking brake is set and the drive axle is disengaged.
Extend stabilizers fully out and then down. Park the carrier vehicle so that it is level from the
front to the rear. Use the power down stabilizer function to level the vehicle from side-to-side.
Utilize a signal person if the stabilizers are not in view from the operator’s station when
extending or lowering the stabilizers.
Winch Safety
1
DO NOT pull the load block or sheave back so that it makes contact with the boom tip. This
is two blocking and should be avoided.
2
Pay out loadline before the boom is extended to avoid two blocking.
3
DO NOT permit personnel to ride the boom, loadline, hook or load. This action may cause
DEATH or serious injury.
4
Use only specified wire rope for lifting.
5
Retain at least three full wraps of wire rope on the winch drum at all times.
