(1) All
				crawler or truck cranes (greater than 2,000 pounds capacity) in use must meet
				the applicable requirements for design, construction, testing, inspection,
				maintenance, and operation as prescribed in the ASME B30.5-2007, Safety
				Standard for Mobile and Locomotive Cranes. It is not the intent of this rule to
				require retrofitting of existing cranes. However, when an item is being
				modified, its performance needs to be reviewed by a qualified person and

				see WAC 296-155-53400(58) and
				(59). For cranes manufactured prior to the
				effective date of this rule the design, construction and testing criteria must
				meet at a minimum, ASME B30.5-1989.
(2) Mobile cranes must have boom stops to
				provide resistance from backward overturning. Such as:
* A fixed or telescoping bumper;
* A shock absorbing bumper;
* Hydraulic boom elevation cylinder(s).
(3) Restraints must be provided that will
				keep the jibs from backward overturning.
(4) Boom angle or radius indicators readable
				from the operator's station must be provided.
(5) A means must be provided that
				automatically stops the hoisting of the boom when the boom reaches a
				predetermined high angle. This can be either:
* A boom hoist disconnect;
* A shutoff; or
* Hydraulic relief.
(6) A boom length indicator that is readable
				from the operator's station must be provided for telescopic booms, unless the
				load rating is independent of the boom length.
(7) Where the ground is soft or uneven, you
				must use timber, planking, or other suitable material to provide firm
				foundation and distribute the load.

				Where applicable, if the load hoist mechanism is not equipped with an automatic
				brake and the load must remain suspended for any considerable length of time,
				the operator must hold the drum from rotating in the lowering direction by
				activating a manually operated brake. The boom hoist brakes must be set, and on
				rope boom support cranes, a braking mechanism and a ratchet and pawl or other
				locking device must be engaged to prevent inadvertent lowering of the
				boom.
(2) On wheel-mounted cranes,
				you must not lift loads over the front area, except as permitted by the crane
				manufacturer.
(3) Rolling
				outriggers. Mobile cranes using rolling outriggers must use load charts from
				the crane manufacturer or an RPE that specifically address this configuration.
				If the crane manufacturer does not address the use of rolling outriggers while
				some of the crane's weight is on its wheels, then the user must use the "on
				rubber" chart.
(4) While in
				transit, you must exercise the following additional precautions :
(a) The boom should be carried in line with
				the direction of motion.
(b) You
				must secure the superstructure against rotation (or the boom placed in a boom
				rack mounted on the carrier), except when negotiating turns when there is an
				operator in the cab or the boom is supported on a dolly.
