In the setup mode, this limit stops operation if there is a transducer fault. Troubleshoot the hydraulic
system using the screens in the Main Display to determine the faulty transducer. Take corrective action to
correct the fault.
Travel on Grade with VPC Unlocked (only for a crane without VPC-MAX)

capacity chart.
When the boom angle is within the capacity chart, this limit stops the boom from being raised or lowered
until the VPC setup mode is turned off.
