MLC165-1 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Perform Pre-Start Checks
Make the following checks before proceeding to assemble or
disassemble the crane.
1. Perform required lubrication services and maintenance
checks. See the MLC165-1 Lubrication Guide and the
Maintenance Checklist supplied with the crane.
2. Check for leaks and then correct.
3. Check that the battery disconnect switch (1) is
connected (Figure 4-13
).
4. Make sure that the hydraulic tank shut-off valve (2) is
open (Figure 4-13
).
5. Check that RIN terminator (3) is connected to the WBC
cable on the front of the rotating bed (Figure 4-13
).
Otherwise, the crane controls may not operate properly
and faulty readings may appear on the displays.
6. Check that the CAN terminator plug (4) is connected to
the WN IN receptacle (4a) on Node 5. Otherwise, the
crane controls may not operate properly and faulty
readings may appear on the displays.
Start Engine
1. Start the engine and allow the crane components to
warm up to their normal operating temperatures.
NOTE Fault 65 will remain on until the
hydraulic oil temperature is above
60°F (15° C). There will be no
throttle response until this fault is
cleared.
The main display hydraulic oil temperature will read
55° until the oil temperature rises above 55°.
Monitor the hydraulic oil temperature on the gauge
at the hydraulic tank until the oil temperature rises
above 55°.
The hydraulic oil can be warmed up during cold
weather startup with the crane either in the
standard mode or the setup mode. The oil will not
warm up, however, if the carbody control is enabled
in the setup function screen (item 2 in Figure 4-5
).
2. Turn on the setup mode in the RCL/RCI and in the main
display. See Setup Mode on page 4-6
for instructions.
The SETUP MODE MUST BE ON to operate the self-
assembly controls during the remainder of the assembly
procedure
