Each press of the operation switch also changes
the screen accordingly. For more information on
display content, see “Transmitter Display

Outrigger Operation
Check if the transmitter operation lever operates
smoothly and returns to the Neutral position when
your finger is released from it.
Each operation lever on the transmitter is limited
by a stop when at FULL position.
CAUTION: Do not force any of the transmitter
operation levers against its stop. Forcing a
transmitter lever against its stop could result
in damage to the transmitter.
Before operating the outriggers, switch the
operation mode selector switch to “Outrigger.”
Leaving the switch in Crane mode is extremely
dangerous, as the crane may operate
unexpectedly.
When lifting or lowering the outriggers, operate
slowly with the engine running at low speed.
WARNING! Tip Hazard. Do not operate the
outriggers if the engine speed is too high.
Only operate the outriggers when the engine
speed is set to low. The engine must be set to
low speed to properly operate the outriggers.
During outrigger operations, position the crane to
the STOW position.
WARNING! Tip Hazard. Do not operate the
outriggers if the crane is not in the STOW
position. Only operate the outrigger when the
crane is in the STOW position.
During outrigger operations, ensure the position
pin of each outrigger is properly installed.
WARNING! Tip Hazard. Do not operate the
machine if the position pins are not properly
installed. The position pins must be properly
installed for proper operation of the machine.
Lift each outrigger equally and gradually, until the
crane is properly elevated. During stowing of
outriggers, lower each outrigger equally and
gradually, until the crane is grounded.
WARNING! Tip Hazard. Do not operate the
machine if the outriggers are not properly
positioned. The outriggers must be properly
positioned for proper operation of the
machine.
1. Start the engine. See “Starting the Engine” on
page 4-97.
