RT770E OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Control Lever Lockout System
The control lever lockout system consists of hydraulic
solenoid valves (located in the directional control valves)
which are in series between the hydraulic remote control
valves in the cab and the pilot-operated directional control
valves. When the valves are actuated, they prevent pilot flow
between the hydraulic remote control valve in the cab and
the appropriate directional control valve. The valves are
activated in such a manner as to prevent worsening the
condition, i.e. boom down, telescope out, or hoist up. The
control lever lockout system is used with the anti-two-block
system or the rated capacity limiter (RCL) system.

1. Park the crane on a stable surface.

Unattended Crane
The configuration in which the crane should be left while
unattended shall be determined by a qualified, designated
individual familiar with the job site, configuration, conditions,
and limitations.
DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
Never park the crane near holes, or on rocky or extremely
soft surfaces. This may cause the crane to overturn,
resulting in injury to personnel.
CAUTION
Risk of Undesirable Operation!
To avoid possible engine fault codes and undesirable
operation, ensure the keyswitch has been off two minutes
before disconnecting the batteries.
Disconnect batteries, if machine will be inactive for over
24 hours.
WARNING
Tipping Hazard!
Changing weather conditions including but not limited to:
wind, ice accumulation, precipitation, flooding, lightning,
etc. should be considered when determining the location
and configuration of a crane when it is to be left
unattended.
Failure to comply with these instructions may cause death
or serious injury.
