After Starting Machine
Function Check OUTRIGGER Mode Using
Transmitter
• Switch the transmitter mode selector switch to
“OUTRIGGER.” Confirm that the display also
switches to the outrigger display.
• Operate the levers and check the outrigger
extend and stow operations.
• Operate the levers gradually. Abrupt movement
of the levers may cause the crane to overturn.
Ensure the position pins of the outriggers and
retainers are securely fixed.
Function Check CRANE Mode Using
Transmitter
Before switching operation mode to CRANE,
extend all the outriggers and ensure they are
securely positioned on the ground.
• Switch the transmitter mode selector switch to
“CRANE.” Confirm that the display also switches
to the crane display.
• Check to confirm that the Emergency Stop
Switch (EMO) functions before starting. The
Emergency Stop Switch (EMO) shuts down the
main unit and shuts off power to the transmitter
unit.
If you press the switch and the machine does
not stop, stop use immediately. Contact us or
our sales service agency.
Activate levers for crane operation and ensure
crane functions correctly.
See “RATED TOTAL LOAD CHARTS” on page
3-10 for proper loading of crane.
• Always operate the levers on the transmitter
slowly when hoisting a load.
• Do not perform multiple operations
simultaneously using the radio control, as only
one side may operate, which is extremely
dangerous.
• Never let go of the transmitter when the power is
turned on. Always power off the transmitter
before moving, carrying operations not using the
radio control, taking breaks, and when work is
complete.
• In emergencies or if even a minor problem
arises within the machine operating area, press
the Emergency Stop Switch (EMO) immediately
to shut down the transmitter.
Terminating Operation
The monitor must be used when stowing the
crane, so turn off the transmitter and operate from
the machine itself.
When stowing the outriggers, switch the
transmitter mode selector switch to
“OUTRIGGER.” Confirm that the display also
switches to the outrigger display.
After crane operation, always turn off power to the
transmitter.
Do not turn transmitter on unless crane is in
operation.
WARNING! Sudden Movement Hazard. Never
turn on the transmitter until the crane is
properly positioned and ready for operation.
Unexpected contact with the operation levers
or buttons may cause unexpected movement
of the crane.
