Maeda MC-305C-2 - Operation in Outrigger Mode

6-40
8.2 OPERATION IN OUTRIGGER MODE
• Check smooth and correct actions of each operation lever of the Transmitter, and they
smoothly return to each neutral position when the finger is released.
• Each operation lever of the Transmitter will be blocked by its stopper when it is moved full.
When it is blocked, do not attempt to push more, otherwise it may damage the Transmitter to
cause its fault and results a serious accident.
• To toggle each operation lever to the opposite side, or to use another lever, always release the
Accelerator lever, each time. Also, to operate the outrigger, manipulate the operation lever
first, then pull the Accelerator lever. To stop the actuation of outriggers, release your finger
from the Accelerator lever, first, then discharge the operation lever.
• For the outrigger operations, always keep the engine speed in the low or middle range. Such
operation in the high speed range makes outriggers actuate too quickly, which may tip the
Crane and result in a serious hazard.
• For the outrigger operations, always configure the Crane to the stow position. In the condition
that the boom is raised or any load is craned, it may cause a serious accident, such as tipping
of the Crane.
• For the outrigger operations, always ensure that the position pin of each outrigger is securely
inserted. In the event where the pins are missing, the Crane may be tipped and it results in a
serious hazard.
• For the installation of outriggers, always extend them first in the “Extension mode”, then
switch the mode to “Ground setting mode”. Lift each outrigger equally and gradually, until the
Crane is properly elevated. For the stowing of Outriggers, lower each outrigger equally and
gradually, until the Crane is grounded in the “Ground setting mode”, then switch to the
“Extension mode” to retract them. Unless otherwise this order is followed, that may cause to
tip the Crane and bring a serious accident.
1. Ensure that the Main switch of the Receiver is in the OFF
position.
2. Start the engine by the Starter switch of the Crane.
3. Push the Power switch of the Transmitter to power ON.
Confirm that the LCD screen shows the mark as the figure in the
right and the “CRANE MODE” is automatically provided.
4. Then turn ON the Main switch of the Receiver.
The voice message will call you as “Remote control is ready”.
NOTES
When the Main switch of the Receiver is turned ON, the
abnormal signal detector circuit works for 3 to 4 seconds. During
this moment, the Crane is not ready for operations.
NOTES
This Crane equips four sets of outriggers and number lables (1)
to (4) are appended on each. These labels correspond to the
number of each operation lever in the Transmitter. (See the
figure in the right.)
