Most candidates just want to practice playing with the practical exam test course or putting the headache ball into the barrels. This could help you if you have already mastered the 5-gallon bucket of water trick. But if you haven’t learned how to control the load this is a waste of time.
For fastest results this is it:
Step 1
Get a 5-gallon bucket
Step 2
Hang the bucket on the hook (the crane should be reeved with a single part line)
Step 3
Fill the bucket almost to the top with water.
Step 4
Practice swinging the crane left and right until you can use half throttle and the swing function or lever is fully engaged. Than bring it to a complete stop without spilling the water or setting it on the down.
Step 5
Practice lowering and raising the boom until you can use half throttle and the swing function or lever is fully engaged. Than bring it to a complete stop without spilling the water or setting it on the down.
Step 6
Combine step 4 and 5 until you can use both of the functions simultaneously without spilling the water.
