3. Emergency Stop Switch
Knob pushed DOWN to STOP the engine in an emergency

a crane function is observed.
Always use ignition switch in cab to stop engine for normal
operating conditions.
Beware — when knob is pushed down, engine stops and
any crane function being operated comes to an abrupt
stop.
NOTE: The knob must be turned clockwise to restart the
engine and to operate the remote control.
MAX-ER OPERATING MODE
The drum, swing, and travel controls operate in the same
manner for hanging MAX-ER operation as they do for
standard crane operation. See Section 3 in the Crane
Operator Manual for operation of the controls.
To operate the crane with the hanging MAX-ER, the RCL
must be properly configured. See Selecting Crane
Configuration in RCL Operation Manual for detailed
instructions.
When properly configured, the proper hanging MAX-ER
capacity chart and icon will appear in the RCL working
screen as shown in Figure 3-6
. Refer to Hanging MAX-ER
Operator Information Manual in the crane cab for a complete
list of hanging MAX-ER capacity charts for your crane.
When the hanging MAX-ER mode is on:
• The load sensing pin measures mast tension created by
the lifted load.
• The load sensing pin sends a proportional voltage signal
to the programmable controller.
• The programmable controller activates the crane’s
electric and hydraulic systems to automatically extend
and retract the counterweight lifting cylinder (raise and
lower hanging counterweight) in response to changes in
mast tension.
