WARNINGS
WARNING! Federal law (49 cfr part 571) requires that the Final Stage Manufacturer of a vehiclecertify that
e
hicle complies with all applicable federal regulations. Any modifications performed on the vehicle
the v
prior to the final state are also considered intermediate stage manufacturing and must be certified as to
compliance. The installer of this crane and body is considered one of the manufacturers of the vehicle.
As such a manufacturer, the installer is responsible for compliance with all applicable federal and state
regulations, and is required to certify that the vehicle is in compliance.
WARNING! It is the further responsibility of the installer to comply with the OSHA Truck Crane Stability
Requirements as specified by 29 CFR part 1910.180 (C) (1).
WARNING! NEVER OPERATE THE CRANE NEAR ELECTRICAL POWER LINES!
Death or serious injury will result from boom, line, or load contacting electric lines. Do not use crane
within 10 feet (3.05m) of electric power lines carrying up to 50,000 volts. One-foot additional clearance
is required for every additional 30,000 volts or less. SEE DANGER DECAL (P/N 040529) in this Owner’s
Manual.
WARNING! NEVER .....................................................
♦ EXCEED load chart capacities (centerline of rotation to hoist hook).
♦ Un-reel last 5 wraps of cable from drum!
♦ Wrap cable around load!
♦ Attempt to lift or drag a load from the side! The boom can fail far below its rated capacity.
♦ Weld, modify, or use unauthorized components on any Auto Crane unit! This will void any warranty or
liability. Also failure of the crane may result.
♦ Place a chain link on the tip of the hook and try to lift a load!
♦ Use a sling bar or anything larger than the hook throat that could prevent the hook latch from closing,
thus negating the safety feature!
♦Hold on any pendant Select Switch that will cause unsafe operating conditions!
WARNING! In using a hook with latch, ALWAYS make sure that the hook throat is closed before lifting
a load! Proper attention and common sense applied to the use of the hoist hook and various slings will
prevent possible damage to material being hoisted and may prevent injury to personnel.
WARNING! Failure to correctly plumb and wire crane can cause inadvertent operation and damage to
crane and/or personnel!
WARNING! Auto Crane Company remote controlled cranes are not designed or intended for use for any
applications involving the lifting or moving of personnel.
WARNING! ALWAYS operate the crane in compliance with the load capacity chart. DO NOT USE the

Auto Crane products are designed to provide
n
y years of safe, trouble-free, dependable
ma
service when properly used and maintained.
To assist you in obtaining the best service
from your crane and to avoid untimely crane
and/or vehicle failure, this manual provides
the following operating and service instructions. It is specifically recommended that all
operating and service personnel consider this
manual as mandatory material for reading
and study before operating or servicing Auto
Crane products. It is highly recommended
that crane owners, equipment managers, and
supervisors also read this manual.
Auto Crane has incorporated several safety
features in the 3203 PR/PRX crane for your
protection.
For your convenience the overall dimensions
of the 3203 PR/PRX crane are included on the
General Dimension Drawing. Rotation and
turning radius are also listed on that drawing.
Remember, the crane adds weight to the vehicle.
Adding weight may change the driving and
riding characteristics of the vehicle unless the
appropriate overload spring(s) are installed
on the truck. The payload of the vehicle is
reduced by the weight of the crane. The operator
should exercise care when loading the vehicle.
Distributing the payload on the vehicle evenly
will greatly improve the driving and riding
characteristics of the vehicle.
Auto Crane Company issues a limited
warranty certificate with each unit sold.
See last page for warranty.
The 3203 PR/PRX cranes are attached to your
truck electrical system through the Main Power
Switch provided. The
3203 PR/PRX is another highly efficient
Auto Crane product. The use of a maintenancefree battery is not recommended on any Auto
Crane product. The recommended alternator
and battery
RODUCTION
that will give the longest life with the most useful
d
ty cycle is a 125-amp alternator with a 500 cold
u
cranking amp battery. These specifications should
be considered minimum.
It has always been Auto Crane Company policy
to handle all warranty claims we receive as
promptly as possible. If a warranty claim involves
discrepant material or workmanship, Auto
Crane will take immediate corrective action. It
is understandable that Auto Crane Company
cannot assume responsibility of liability when it
is obvious that our products have been abused,
misused, overloaded or otherwise damaged by
inexperienced persons trying to operate the
equipment without reading the manual.
Auto Crane will not assume responsibility
or liability for any modifications or changes
made to unit, or installation of component
parts without authorization.
Auto Crane maintains a strong distributor
network and a knowledgeable Customer Service
Department. In most cases, an equipment problem
is solved via phone conversation with our customer
service department. The customer service
department also has the ability to bring a local
distributor, a regional sales manager, or a factory
serviceman into the solution of an equipment
problem.
If, through no fault of Auto Crane Company,
it is necessary to send an experienced factory
serviceman on a field service call the rates stated in
the Auto Crane Distributor’s Flat Rate Manual will
apply.
Auto Crane Company’s extensive Research and
Development Program allow our customers
to use the best equipment on the market. Our
Engineering Staff and our knowledgeable sales
people are always available to our customers
in solving crane and winch-type application
problems. When in doubt, call the Auto Crane
factory.
Note: This manual should remain with the
crane at all times.

4.Make certain the crane is installed per factory
specifications. Contact your local distributor or the
Auto Crane factory if any questions arise.
5.Visual inspections and tests should be conducted at
the beginning of each shift each day to insure that
the crane and all its operating systems are in good
condition and working order before it is used.
6.Inspect hydraulic hoses frequently for signs of
deterioration, and replace them as required.
7.If a hydraulic break occurs, leave the area of the
break and do not attempt to stop the break by hand
as the hydraulic oil may be hot and under high
pressure which can cause serious injury. Shut the
system down as soon as possible.
8.Check the hook at least every thirty days for
distortions or cracks and replace it as required.
9.Oil gears as required.
10. Stop all operations when cleaning, adjusting or
lubricating the machine.
11. Keep dirt and grit out of moving parts by keeping
crane clean. Make sure machine is free of excess oil,
grease, mud and rubbish, thus reducing accidents
and fire hazards.
12. When a new cable is installed, operate first with a
light load to let the cable adjust itself.
13. Locate the vehicle at the work site for the best
stability possible.
14. Keep the vehicle in a level position while loading or
unloading.

20. All load ratings are based on crane capacity, NOT
the vehicle stability. Remember in lifting a heavy
load, the weight can create enough tipping moment
to overturn the vehicle
21. Always comply with load chart capacities,
(centerline of rotation to hook).
22. Secure all loads before lifting.
23. Always set the emergency brake before
beginning operation.
24. Keep objects and personnel clear of crane path
during operation.
25. Operate control levers slowly and smoothly in
order to meter oil flow for safe operation. (Not
applicable to electric-hydraulic cranes.)
26. Always extend the outriggers from vehicle to the
ground before crane operation. Insure that they are
firmly positioned on solid footings. Stand
clear of outriggers while they are being extended.
27. If any outrigger, when extended, rests on a curb or
other object that prevents it from extending to its
maximum distance, shorten bearing or
fulcrum point and reduce the maximum load
accordingly.
28. When an outrigger will not reach the ground due to
holes or grades, it shall be blocked up to provide
level and firm support for the truck.
29. When working in soft earth, use wide pads
under outrigger feet to prevent sinking.

OPERATING PRACTICES/HANDLING THE
LOAD
ize of load.
1.S
A.No crane shall be loaded beyond the rated load
except for test purposes.
B.The load to be lifted is to be within the rated load
of the crane and its existing configuration.
C.When loads that are not accurately known are
to be lifted, the person responsible for the job
shall ascertain that the weight of the load does
not exceed the crane rated load at the radius at
which the load is to be lifted.
2.Attaching the load.
A.The load shall be attached to the hook by means
of slings or other devices of sufficient capacity.
B.Hoist rope shall not be wrapped around the load.
3.Moving the load.
The operator shall determine that:
A.The crane is level and, where necessary, the
vehicle/carrier is blocked properly.
B.The load is well secured and balanced in the
sling or lifting device before it is lifted more
than a few inches.
C.Means are provided to hold the vehicle
stationary while operating the crane.
D.Before starting to lift, the hook shall be
positioned over the load in such a manner as to
minimize swinging.
E.During lifting care shall be taken that:
1.There is no sudden acceleration or
deceleration of the moving load.
2.Load, boom or other parts of the crane do
not contact any obstruction.
F. Cranes shall not be used for dragging loads
sideways.
G.This standard recognizes that telescopic boom
cranes are designed and intended for handling
materials. They do not meet personnel lift or
elevator requirements. Therefore, no lifting,
lowering, swinging or traveling shall be done
while a person is on the hook or load. Hook
attached suspended work platforms (baskets)
shall not be used with cranes covered by this
standard. Crane manufacturer must approve
work platforms attached to the boom.
H.The operator should avoid carrying loads over
people.
I. When the crane is so equipped, the
stabilizers shall be fully extended and set.
Blocking under stabilizers shall meet the
requirements as follows:
1. Strong enough to prevent crushing.
2. Of such thickness, width and length as
to completely support the stabilizer pad.
J. Firm footing under all tires, or individual
stabilizer pads should be level. Where such
a footing is not otherwise supplied, timbers,
cribbing, or other structural members to
distribute the load so as to not exceed allowable
bearing capacity or the underlying material
should provide it.
K.In transit, the boom shall be carried in stowed
position.
L.When rotating the crane, sudden starts and
stops shall be avoided. Rotational speed
shall be such that the load does not swing
out beyond the radius at which it can be
controlled.
M.The crane shall not be transported with a
load on the hook unless recommended by the
manufacturer.

above limits.
A. Any overhead wire shall be considered to be an
energized line unless and until the person owning
such line or the electrical utility authorities verify
that it is not an energized line.
B. Exceptions to this procedure are allowed, if approved
by the administrative or regulatory authority
provided the alternate procedure insures equivalent
protection and is set forth in writing.
C. Durable signs shall be installed at the operator’s
station and on the outside of the crane, warning that
electrocution or serious bodily injury may
occur unless a minimum clearance of 10 ft.
(3.0m) between the crane or the load being handled
and energized power lines. Greater clearances are
required because of higher voltage as stated above.
These signs shall be revised but not removed when
local jurisdiction requires greater clearances.
1.Cranes shall be operated so that no part of the crane
r load enters into the danger zone shown above.

EXCEPTIONS
A. The danger zone may be entered after
nfirmation by an appointed person that the
co
electrical distribution and transmission lines
have been de-energized and visibly grounded at
the point of work; or
B. The danger zone may be entered if insulating
barriers (not a part of nor an attachment to the
crane) have been erected to prevent physical
contact with the lines.
2.For lines rated 50 kV or below, minimum clearance
between the lines and any part of the crane or load

Prior to initial use, all new, altered, modified or
extensively repaired cranes shall be inspected by a
designated person to insure compliance with provisions
of this standard.
2.Regular inspection.
Inspection procedure for cranes in regular service is
divided into two general classifications based upon
the intervals at which inspection should be performed.
The intervals in turn are dependent upon the nature
of the components of the crane and the degree of their
exposure to wear, deterioration, or malfunction. The
two general classifications are herein designated as
“frequent” and “periodic” with respective intervals
between inspections as defined below.
A.Frequent inspection - daily or before each use
B.Periodic inspection - one to twelve-month
intervals or as specifically recommended by the
manufacturer or qualified person.
DESIGNATED PERSONNEL SHALL

any deficiencies that might appear between regular
inspections. Any deficiencies, such as those listed below,
shall be carefully examined and a determination made as
to whether they constitute a hazard:
1.Inspect control mechanisms for maladjustment that
interferes with proper operation.
2.Inspect control mechanisms for excessive wear of
components and contamination by lubricants or other
foreign matter.
3.Inspect safety devices for malfunction.
4.Visually inspect all hydraulic hoses, particularly
those that flex in normal operation of crane functions.
5.Inspect hooks and latches for deformation, chemical
damage, cracks, and wear. Refer to ANSI/ASME B30.10.
6.Inspect for proper rope reeving.
7.Inspect electrical wiring and components for
malfunctioning, signs of excessive deterioration, dirt
and moisture accumulation.
8.Inspect hydraulic system for proper oil level and leaks.
9.Inspect tires for recommended inflation pressure, cuts
and loose wheel nuts.
10. Inspect connecting pins and locking device for wear
damage and loose retaining bolts.
11. Inspect rope for gross damage, such as listed below,
which may be an immediate hazard.
A. Distortion such as kinking, crushing, un stranding,
birdcaging, main strand displacement, or core
protrusion. Loss of rope diameter in a short length or
unevenness of outer strands should be replaced.
B. General corrosion.
C. Broken or cut strands.
D. Use care when inspecting sections of rapid
deterioration around flange points, crossover points,
and repetitive pickup points on drums.
E. Inspect number, distribution, and type of visible
broken wires. Reference Rope Maintenance section
in the owner’s manual.
Continued use of rope depends upon good
judgment by a designated person in evaluating
remaining strength in a used rope after allowance
for deterioration disclosed by inspection. Continued
rope operation depends upon this remaining
strength.

2.Unreeling or uncoiling of rope shall be done as
recommended by the rope manufacturer and with
care to avoid kinking or inducing twist.
3.Before cutting a rope, seizing shall be placed on each
side of the place where the rope is to be cut
to prevent unlaying of the strands. On pre-formed
rope, one seizing on each side of the cut is required.
On non-preformed ropes of 7/8 in. (22
mm) diameter or smaller, two seizings on each
side of the cut are required, and for non-preformed
rope 1 in. (25 mm) diameter or larger, three seizings on
each side of the cut are required.
4.During installation care should be exercised to avoid
dragging of the rope in the dirt or around objects that
will scrape, nick crush or induce sharp bends in it.
5.Rope should be maintained in a well-lubricated
condition. It is important that lubricant applied as a
part of a maintenance program shall be compatible
with the original lubricant and to this end the rope
manufacturer should be consulted. Lubricant applied
shall be the type that does not hinder visual inspection.
Those sections of rope that are located over sheaves or
otherwise hidden during inspection and maintenance
procedures require special attention when lubricating
rope. The object of rope lubrication is to reduce
internal friction and to prevent corrosion.
6.When an operating rope shows greater wear or well-
defined localized areas than on the remainder of the
rope, rope life can be extended in some cases by shifting
the wear to different areas of the rope.

MAINTENANCE
OF
BATTERIES
intenance of Auto Crane unit batteries differs very
Ma
little from the generally prescribed maintenance of any
lead acid battery. All batteries must be kept properly
charged, properly filled with water, and relatively clean.
Keep Properly Charged
a
ny things affect the proper charge to a battery,
M
as:
1. Regulator settings.
2.Proper tightness of belts on the alternator or
generator.
3.Good, clean connections of all cables and wires at the
following places:
such
deterioration of the remaining parts of the
battery.
Keep A Relatively Clean Battery
The b
ttery should be kept clean. Batteries filled
a
with
acid and which are not in use self-discharge to
a limited degree because of the nature of the materials
within the battery. If dirt is allowed to collect on the
top of the battery (and this dirt absorbs moisture)
and electrical path can be set up between the various
terminals of the battery and the ground. Once such a
path has been established, the self discharge of the battery
is accelerated. This also accelerates corrosion of the
battery cables at the terminals.
It is of extreme importance to keep the battery as
fully charged as possible without overcharging,
especially when vehicles are left outside for extended
periods in extremely cold climates. A battery can
freeze. Freezing points for various specific gravities
of acid are as follows:
Specific Gravity Freezing Temp.
(Corrected to 80ºF) Degrees F.
1.280 -90ºF
1.250 -62ºF
1.200 -16ºF
1.150 5ºF
1.100 19ºF
As shown, a half-charged battery (about 1.100
specific
gravity) cannot stand for any length of time at 20ºF or it
will freeze.
The main reason for keeping the battery as fully
charged as possible without over-charging is to insure
that power is available even though the vehicle has been
standing for some time.
Periodic Maintenance is Needed
finite program of periodic maintenance of all
A de
batteries should be conducted on a regular basis.
Periodic maintenance includes:
1. Checking belts for tightness on the charging
equipment.
2.Checking battery electrolyte levels.
3.Checking cables for good connections.
4.Cleaning where corrosion is apparent.
When corrosion is cleaned off, the cable terminals
and
battery terminals should be coated with a light
coating of petroleum jelly before they are replaced.
When terminals are cleaned, the top of the battery
should be cleaned with a mild solution of soda water.
Low Maintenance Batteries
(Maintenance Free)
Low maintenance batteries should not be used on
toCrane Cranes or trucks equipped with AutoCrane
Au
Cranes. The batteries are not
designed for “deep” discharge.
Testing Your Battery
Keep Properly Filled with Water
The battery should always be p
roperly filled with water.
If the electrolyte level is allowed to fall below the top of
the plates, the results become threefold:
1. The exposed portion of the plate will become
sulfated.
2.The portion of the plate exposed is not usable.
3.That portion of the acid remaining becomes
more concentrated and may cause more rapid
ondition of the battery is in question, it should
If the c
removed from the vehicle, taken to the shop, and
allowed to reach room temperature. It should then
be recharged until specific gravity readings taken at
one-half hour intervals. If the specific gravity readings
are fairly uniform, the battery should be checked with
a high rate tester. Use the tester in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. The high rate tester is the
best method to test a questionable battery.

, after charging, it is noted that the specific gravity
If
reading of one cell is 30 points less than any of the other
cells, it may be assumed that the cell is bad
and that the battery should be replaced. If all cells are
uniform but not up to full charge, a low rate of charge
should be attempted for an extended time. This usually
will recover a badly sulfated battery.
Replacing a Battery
t is necessary to replace a battery, and a dry
If i
charge battery is used, the following procedure
applies:
1. Fill the battery with electrolyte of the proper
specific gravity.
2.Place the battery on charge according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
It is essential that the second step above be followed
to ensure that the battery going on the vehicle is fully
charged.
It is also very important that the battery hold-downs
checked periodically to insure that the batteries
are properly positioned to avoid vibration problems,
breakage of cables or terminals. Care must be taken
to avoid cracking or breaking containers or covers by
tightening hold-down fixtures excessively. They also
must not be so loose that breakage results from a holddown that is too loose.

Refer to Trouble Shooting Chart #3 for solutions
Transmitter is ON
A low battery condition has been detected.
To detect intermittent conditions caused by poor or corroded
ground or power circuits, the GREEN light will continue to flash for
30 seconds after the condition has been removed.
Transmitter is ON
An internal fault with the E-Stop has
been detected.
Check fuse, if OK then: Inspect E-Stop wiring for short circuit. Disconnect E-Stop wire as close to the receiver output as possible. If the
Status light changes to:
t GREEN, a short occurs after disconnection point.
t Stays flashing RED, send it in for service .
Transmitter is ON
A short to ground or excessive current
draw on an output. It is most likely
caused by a wiring fault.
Ensure transmitter is functioning properly, check status of each output
connection: Press each function button and observe Fault Light.
t If GREEN, everything is OK.
t If RED, there is a short in that connection.
Transmitter is ON
E-Stop output is connected with one of
the other outputs or one of the outputs is
shorted to power
Turn off transmitter, if condition clears follow E-Stop wire and
check for connections with other wires. If condition remains one of
the outputs is shorted to power. Test all outputs wires for power.
Transmitter is OFF
A wiring short to the battery has been
detected.
Refer to Trouble Shooting Chart #1 for solutions
Transmitter is OFF
The receiver has detected an internal
fault.
Refer to Trouble Shooting Chart #1 for solutions
Transmitter is ON
Blown fuse detected. (not functional with
proportional units)
Refer to Page 8 for instructions on how to open the receiver case to
access fuse. Check wiring for shorts or bare spots. If fuses continue to blow, call for service.
A setup failure has occurred.
Either hold the Setup button for 5 seconds to return to Setup mode or
cycle power to return to the normal operating mode.
Transmitter is OFF
The receiver is powered incorrectly.
Most likely cause of this condition is that an output wire or the E-Stop
wire has been connected to a power source while the power wire is
disconnected from the Power Input (A6). I.E. Receiver is being powered from an output and not Power Input.
Trouble Indicators
Note: In some cases, the indicator lights will be different depending on whether the transmitter is on or off. Please note the transmitter status in the

accidentally swapped
with another one on
the job site?
Search the job site for
the correct transmitter.
POSSIBLY
Transmitter and receiver
should be working properly.
The problem may rest with
the machine instead of the
radio system
Call for service
Was it found?
Turn on the transmitter
to check if the units
function correctly. If

code may need to
be re-downloaded
to the receiver
NO
!!Caution!!
Note: Before you proceed with the Download ID procedure located on Page 8, great
care and caution must be adhered to.
If by accident, the transmitters have been switched with another unit, by downloading the
ID code to a new receiver, it is possible for the transmitter to operate 2 units at the same
time (if the original receiver unit is still on the job site). Therefore it must be
certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are the correct set.
Secondly, once the download procedure is completed, ensure all other units on the job
site are stopped. Test the operation of the n
ewly configured set to ensure no other
machines on the site work with the same transmitter.
Once you are certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are a unique set, continue
normal operations.

N
ote: Before attempting reprogramming with another transmitter, understand that re-
programming the receiver with another transmitter, could result in two receivers on the job
site responding to the one transmitter. If the original transmitter was sent in for repair,
disconnect the receiver (disconnect connector A) to continue using the machine without
remote capability and without fear of inadvertently operating the machine with the other
transmitter.
Reprogramming Tips:
se a pointy instrument to depress the Setup button on the receiver (i.e. a pen) as the button is relatively small
1. U
2. Follow each step as laid out in the procedure
3. Never lay the receiver circuit board down on anything metallic (there are contact points on the back which could con tact the
metal and damage the receiver)
llow these steps to download the transmitter’s unique ID Code into the receiver. This will allow the receiver to establish
Fo
a radio link with that transmitter.
Refer to the Light Legend below for diagram details.
NOTE: It is necessary to download the ID Code when replacing either the transmitter or the receiver.
NOTE: If the transmitter is connected to the receiver with a Tether Cable, completing only steps 3 and 5 is necessary (it is not
necessary to open the R160 case and press the Setup button).
Use in case of Link Test failure)
