OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES CD5520/YB5520 OPERATOR MANUAL
3-14 Published 07-06-2017, Control # 406-03
Do not press the accelerator pedal, the engine ECM will
determine the proper idle speed.
If the engine fails to start on the first try, wait until the
starter motor comes to a complete stop; then again
crank the engine with the ignition key.
6. Check the engine oil pressure warning light. See
Figure 3-4. If the warning light is illuminated, shut down
the engine immediately. Have the engine serviced
before placing the crane in service.
7. Check the brakes, steering and all controls for proper
operation. If a malfunction is found, shut down the
engine immediately and park the crane until the
malfunction is corrected or the crane can be safely
towed (See Towing a Disabled Crane, page 3-30).
8. Disengage the parking brake before you travel with the
crane. See Traveling with the Crane, page 3-17.
Towing or Pushing the Crane to Start the Engine
If the battery is discharged, DO NOT try to start the engine by
towing or pushing the crane. Damage to the transmission will
occur. Instead use booster batteries to jump start the engine.
Jump Starting the Engine
Follow the recommended jump starting procedure below
when using booster batteries to start the engine.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Engage the parking brake.
3. Place the travel select lever in the Neutral (N) position.
4. Stop all electrical loads (lights, heaters, etc.)
5. Lift the battery access cover and locate the battery
(Figure 3-22).
NOTE: NEVER jump start the engine directly to the starter
or starter solenoid. Serious injury could result from
the crane moving forward or back and running over
the person performing the jump starting procedure.
6. If a booster battery is used, it must be a 12 volt battery. If
a vehicle is used, it must have a 12 volt negative ground
electrical system.
7. Connect one end of the positive (+) jumper cable
(usually red) to the positive (+) post on the discharged
battery. See Figure 3-23.
8. Connect the other end of the positive cable to the
positive (+) post on the booster battery.
9. Connect one end of the negative (–) jumper cable
(usually black) to the negative (–) post on the booster
battery.
10. Connect the other end of the negative cable to the
engine block or a ground point furthest away from the
discharged battery.
11. Follow the steps under “Normal Starting”.
12. When the engine starts, remove the jumper cables in
reverse order (i.e., negative ground cable first, etc.).
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the parking brake and crane, do not
apply the parking brake while traveling.
Disengage the parking brake before driving. Damage to
the crane can occur.
