OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES CD5515-2/YB5515-2 OPERATOR MANUAL

2. Start the engine and disengage the parking brake.
3. Select either the Forward (F) or Reverse (R) travel
position on the transmission shift lever (see
Figure 3-24).
• The crane has no axle suspension. Traveling at high
speeds, especially on rough roads, can create a
bouncing effect that can result in loss of control.
Personal injury, death and property damage could
result. Reduce speed if bouncing occurs.
4. Start out traveling from a stopped position in 1st gear.
Travel speed may be shifted from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd,
3rd to 4th when the crane is moving. See “Shifting
Gears”, below. Avoid operating at too high a gear when
moving a heavy load, as this may cause “lugging” on the
engine. Use a lower gear when moving a heavy load;
higher gear when moving a lighter load. SELECTING
THE CORRECT TRAVEL SPEED WILL PROLONG
ENGINE LIFE.
NOTE: Check the instrument panel gauges frequently
during operation. Any abnormal readings should be
investigated and corrected as soon as possible.
Changing Travel Direction
1. It is recommended that the crane come to a complete
stop before changing travel direction.
NOTE: The transmission electronic control unit (ECU)
contains a setting that will inhibit a change in
direction from taking place (to protect the
transmission from abuse) when the traveling speed
is too high. A repeated double beep will sound until
the speed drops and change in direction is
accomplished, or the change is deselected.
2. Move the travel select lever to the opposite travel
direction.
Shifting Gears
NOTE: The transmission used on this crane is not an
automatic transmission. It is a power shift
transmission. The gears and clutches will not shift
automatically. Each gear range must be shifted
manually.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the parking brake and crane, do not
apply the parking brake while traveling.
The operator’s seat is equipped with a seal belt. Use this
belt at all times when operating the crane.
