CAB TILT STOP PINS INSTALLATION
The cab tilt stop pins (1, Figure 3-9) on the rear of the cab
support (3) must be in the working position for crane
operation. The cab will hit the crawlers and be damaged
when the crane is swung if the cab is tilted down below
horizontal.
CAB TILT SPEED ADJUSTMENT
The cab tilt speed can be adjusted at the flow control valve
(1, Figure 3-10
). The valve is located on the left-front inside
wall of the rotating bed.
1. Loosen the set screw (2).
2. Turn the adjusting knob (3) fully clockwise (in) so that no
color bands (4) appear.
3. Adjust the flow control valve to the desired setting by
turning the adjusting knob (3) counterclockwise (out).
The recommended initial setting is to turn the adjusting
knob out until only the first green color band is showing.
4. Test the operation of the cab tilt using the switch in the
cab.
5. If necessary, turn the adjusting knob out or in to obtain
the desired speed.
