Table 3-6 System Faults
Listed below are faults which turn on the system fault alert (red light and beeper). When the alert comes on, the SYSTEM
FAULT group of the digital display indicates which fault has occurred. Take corrective action. The beeper sounds intermittently.
Display Reading Function Response Cause of Fault
BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW Correct cause for low voltage to prevent
faulty crane operation.
Battery voltage below 18 volts.
BOOM ANGLE SENDER All functions operable, BOOM ANGLE
and BOOM TO LUFF JIB ANG display
will be faulty. Correct cause of angle
sender fault as soon as possible.
Sender output voltage 0 volts or above 9.7
volts. Fault not active when crane is in
SETUP mode.
CRANE LEVEL SENSOR Jacking ALL switch inoperable. Crane is
4.7 degrees out of level
Use individual jacking switches to level
crane.
DISABLED DIG OUTPUT Affected system not operating properly.
Correct cause of fault as soon as
possible.
