of each hoist control lever (1, 2) (Figure 3-6). Each indicator
is electronically driven by an input signal from a sensor
attached to its related hoist and an output signal from a
control module. Each hoist control lever (1, 2) pulses when
its hoist is running so the operator’s thumb can sense it.
Seat Switch (Not Shown)
This switch (28) (Figure 3-6 Item Numbers) is located within
the seat. An operator must be sitting in the seat, enabling the
switch, before any crane functions can be activated.
