M A E D A Mini-Crawler Crane Section 4 –REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION
1/2019 MC285C-3 4-103
Slewing Operation
WARNING! Sudden Movement Hazard. Always
move the accelerator lever slowly and operate
the engine at low speed when slewing a load.
Do not allow abrupt slewing of the load.
WARNING! Check for safety in the vicinity and
honk the horn before slewing.
WARNING! Operate the lever as slowly as
possible. Make sure to start smoothly, slew at
low speed, and stop quietly. Especially avoid
sudden lever operations when the load is
hoisted, which may cause the load to waggle
and cause the machine to lose balance, and
thus may damage the crane or tip the
machine.
WARNING! Even if the outriggers are set
correctly, the hoisted load is slightly unstable
in a specific direction. Exercise caution when
slewing the boom with a suspended load.
WARNING! In some cases, depending on the
configuration of the outriggers, the hoisted
load may hit the outriggers, resulting in
damage to the crane or overturning of the
machine. Exercise caution to prevent the
hoisted load from hitting outriggers.
Move the operation lever (9) as follows:
• Clockwise (right): Push the lever forward.
• Neutral: Release your hand from the lever.
• The lever returns to the “Neutral” position and
the slewing stops.
• Counterclockwise (left): Pull the lever toward
you.

NOTICE: Adjust the crane slew speed by moving
the lever forward or backward.
Micro Speed Mode Switch Operation
Press the Micro Speed Switch to set or cancel
Micro speed mode.
Setting Micro speed mode limits the maximum
movement speed even when the levers are
moved by a large amount, allowing stable
operation at low speeds.

investigate the cause for the abnormality and
repair the fault location.
• The Emergency Engine Stop Switch (EMO) can
also be used for turning OFF the power to the
