the crane when the machine is stationary.
Never use this pedal when travelling with a
lifted load. This may lead to driving errors,
resulting in serious personal injury.
IMPORTANT
• Decrease the speed at the beginning and
near the end of operations. Change the
speed to low or high according to the load.
Use the accelerator pedal to adjust the working
speed.
Increase or decrease the depression of the
accelerator pedal to achieve the desired working
speed for the load.

The engine speed increases,
and the working speed of the
crane parts become faster.
