16000 OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
NOTE: If the engine does not start, check to see if the
engine emergency stop switch or the remote
control stop switch is depressed. If so, pull it out.
6. Increase engine speed as necessary to keep engine
running after it starts.
7. If engine clutch is disengaged, decrease engine speed
to low idle and engage engine clutch within 20 minutes
after starting engine.
NOTE: The engine clutch may be engaged when the
temperature of the hydraulic oil is above 0°F
(-18°C).
The hydraulic tank heaters are designed to keep
the temperature of the oil in the tank at a minimum
of 0°F (-18°C).
8. Run engine at low idle until hydraulic oil temperature is
higher than 65°F (18°C).
Otherwise, the hydraulic fluid
temperature fault will remain on.
NOTE: It is normal for engine and crane faults to appear
when the engine is started. The faults should go
away as soon as engine oil pressure and hydraulic
oil temperature rise to normal (if no other faults
exist).
9. Select crane configuration and capacity charts on RCL
display, Configuration screen. The load drums and hoist
drums are inoperable until this step is performed.
CAUTION
Machinery Damage!
Do not operate the crane when engine and crane faults
exist. If faults do not go away soon after engine is started
or come on during operation, immediately proceed as
follows:
• Determine fault on Main display, Information screen
• Land loads, if possible, and park all functions
• Move all control handles to off
• Stop engine
• Correct cause of fault
CAUTION
Mast Assist Damage!
Prevent damage to mast assist arms and cylinders during
cold weather:
• Do not attempt to lower live mast with boom hoist/
mast hoist until temperature of hydraulic oil is 60°F
(16°C).
• Once oil is at specified temperature, fully extend and
retract mast assist cylinders twice to fill cylinders with
warm oil.
Cylinders and arms will bend under weight of mast if this
precaution is not taken.
CAUTION
Machinery Damage!
Continuous operation with hydraulic oil temperature
above 180°F (82°C) can result in damage to hydraulic
components. Troubleshoot hydraulic system if oil
temperature exceeds 180°F (82°C).
