OPERATION M A E D A Crawler Crane
18 6/2020 CC1908S-1 Quick operation guide
[SLEWING OPERATION]
WARNING
・The rear end of the machine protrudes
beyond the crawler width. Check for safety
in the vicinity visually and using the multi-
assist view before slewing.
・Check for safety around the machine and
sound the horn before slewing.
・Perform the slewing operation as slowly as
possible. Be sure to start smoothly, slew at
low speed, and stop gently. Especially
avoid sudden lever operations when a load
is hoisted, which may cause the load to
sway and cause the machine to lose
balance, damaging the crane or tip the
machine.
・Pulling a load laterally, drawing it in, or
standing it upright by slewing is prohibited.
Be sure to use hook hoisting to lift loads.
IMPORTANT
The rated total load is the same in all
directions regardless of the slewing stop
position.
Operate the left-hand control lever (1) as follows:
・Left slewing: Push the lever outside
(left side).
・Neutral: Release your hand from the
lever.
The lever returns to the neutral
position and the slewing stops.
・Right slewing: Pull the lever inside
(right side).
Adjust the crane slewing speed by varying
the stroke of the left-hand control lever (1)
and the depression of the accelerator pedal
(2).
There is a horn switch at the centre of the
knob on the right-hand control lever (3). Use
the switch to signal when slewing.
