Crane Function Power Switch
The CRANE FUNCTION power switch (9) is located on the
right side of the front console. This two-position (ON/OFF)
rocker switch permits the operator to disconnect power from
the crane functions controlled by the hydraulic remote
controllers on the armrests. Positioning the switch to OFF
prevents inadvertent operation of functions due to bumping
the controllers while roading or any other operation. With the
switch in the OFF position, operation of hydraulic boost and
high speed hoist is also prevented. When the switch is in the
ON position, the red LED square in the switch will be
illuminated, and the crane function solenoid will be energized
allowing crane functions controlled by the hydraulic remote
controllers to be performed.
Transmission Shift Lever
The Transmission Shift Lever (10) Figure 3-2 is located on
the right side of the steering column. The control lever
operates the transmission selector valve electrically.
Positioning the lever up actuates FORWARD and positioning
the lever down actuates REVERSE. When the lever is in
NEUTRAL, it rests in a detent. To move the lever up or down,
pull up on the lever first. To shift the transmission to FIRST
through SIXTH gear, rotate the knob to the appropriate
number.
The transmission has six forward 2wd gears, two 4wd gears
and six reverse gears. To use the two low 4wd gears, put the
Drive Axle Switch to FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE. To use the six
2wd gears, put the Drive Axle Switch to TWO-WHEEL
DRIVE.
To shift between 2wd and 4wd the shift lever must be in
NEUTRAL and the service brake pedal depressed,
Telescope or Auxiliary Hoist Control Lever
(Single Axis Option)
The telescope or auxiliary hoist (TELE or AUX HOIST)
control lever (11) is located on the left armrest. The lever
controls the telescope functions when the crane is not
equipped with an auxiliary hoist. Push the lever forward to
telescope the boom out, or pull the lever back to telescope
boom in.
When equipped with an auxiliary hoist, the lever controls
auxiliary hoist functions and telescope functions are
controlled through a foot pedal (20). Push the lever forward
to let out the hoist cable or pull the lever back to reel the
cable in.
Swing Control Lever (Single Axis Option)
The SWING control lever (12), located on the left armrest,
controls the swing function. The lever, when positioned
forward (rotates the turntable clockwise) or back (rotates the
turntable counterclockwise), actuates a control valve through
hydraulic pilot pressure to provide 360 degree continuous
rotation in the desired direction.
Swing And Telescope or Swing and Auxiliary
Hoist Control Lever (Dual Axis Option)
The SWING and TELESCOPE or AUXILIARY HOIST
(SWING/TELE or SWING/AUX) control lever (13) is located
on the end of the left armrest. The lever controls the swing
and telescope functions when the crane is not equipped with
an auxiliary hoist. When equipped with an auxiliary hoist, the
lever controls swing and auxiliary hoist functions and
telescope functions are controlled through a foot pedal.
If not equipped with an auxiliary hoist, pushing the lever
forward actuates the control valve to telescope the boom out
and pulling the lever back actuates the boom to telescope in.
Pushing the lever to the left or right actuates a control valve
through hydraulic pilot pressure to allow rotation in the
desired direction.
If equipped with an auxiliary hoist, pushing the lever forward
actuates the control valve to let out hoist cable and pulling
the lever back reels the cable in. Pushing the lever to the left
or right actuates a control valve through hydraulic pilot
pressure to allow rotation in the desired direction.
Water In Fuel Indicator
The WATER IN FUEL indicator (14) is located at the center
of the console on the indicator light display. It illuminates
amber when the engine fuel water separator needs
maintenance. Maintenance should be performed as soon as
possible whenever this lamp is illuminated. This light is
controlled by the engine ECM. The ENGINE WARNING
indicator will also illuminate.
Rear Steer Control Switch
The REAR STEER control switch (15) is a three-position,
spring centered to off, rocker switch, located on the left
armrest. Holding the switch at the right (R) setting actuates a
control valve to turn the rear wheels to the left, causing the
crane to turn to the right. Holding the switch at the left (L)
setting actuates a control valve to turn the rear wheels to the
right, causing the crane to turn to the left. Releasing the
switch allows it to spring return to the center off position.
CAUTION
Transmission Damage!
To prevent transmission damage: shift between two-
wheel and four-wheel drive only with the crane stopped
with the transmission in neutral or park.
