Drum 2 Free Fall Brake Pedal
Drum 3 Free Fall Brake Pedal
The crane can be equipped with 1 or 2 optional free fall brake pedals. The left
pedal is for the front hoist (Drum 2) and the right pedal is for the rear hoist (Drum
3).
Each free fall equipped drum has a spring-applied, hydraulically-released brake
that is controlled by the corresponding free fall brake pedal.
When free falling a load, the corresponding brake pedal must be used to
slow down and stop the load.
The free fall brake pedals have no function and are inoperable when the free fall
mode is off.
To use free fall, see Load Drum Operation
(with free fall enabled) on page 3-75.
Pedal Operation:
• Depress pedal (3) to apply the brake in relation to pedal movement. Fully
depress and latch the pedal to fully apply the brake (2).
• Depress the heel of the latch (4) to unlatch the pedal (3) and then ease up on
the pedal to release the brake (1) gradually as the pedal rises.
