crawlers to the carbody:
1. Remove the collars from the ends of the pins.
2. Fully engage and disengage the pins three to four times
to remove air from the cylinders.
3. Scroll to the pins diagnostic screen to verify that 206 bar
(2,989 psi) is present when the pins are fully engaged
and disengaged (stalled).
Counterweight Pins
Perform the following procedure after the hydraulic lines are
connected to the cylinders just prior to lifting the
counterweight tray into position at the rear of rotating bed:
1. Fully engage and disengage the pins three to four times
to remove air from the cylinders.
2. Scroll to the pins diagnostic screen to verify that 206 bar
(2,989 psi) is present when the pins are fully engaged
and disengaged (stalled).

2. Turn off the swing park and attempt to swing the crane
by moving the control handle in both directions.
3. The crane must swing freely.
4. The swing screen should indicate that the swing park
brake is released and the swing brake pressure sensor
will report to Node-5 the hydraulic pressure at the swing
brake.
5. Bring the upperworks to a complete stop, move the
control handle to off, and turn on the swing park.
6. The swing handle should be inoperable.
7. The swing screen should indicate no handle or pump
