Checks in
the emergency
program
Before operation, you must check the length indicator displays and the
functioning of the emergency program.
Checking length indicator display
• Check the displays (1) and (2).
Only telescope the main boom if at least one
of the two displays shows a value.
If neither of the displays shows a value, you
must not start the telescoping process. You
have no way of determining the locking point
of a telescopic section. In this case, consult
Manitowoc Crane Care.
1 Display for the position of the telescoping cylinder in the foot section
There are four different displays.
A Shortly before the locking point – the locking point is reached by
extending
B Shortly after the locking point – the locking point is reached by
retracting
C At the locking point
D Telescopic cylinder not in a foot section – no symbol
G
Risk of damage to the telescoping mechanism
Never telescope the main boom without any length indicator display.
It would then not be possible for you to monitor operations, and compo-
nents in the main boom could be damaged, or a situation could arise in
which the main boom can no longer be extended or retracted.
