1300A OPERATORS MANUAL CONTROLS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES
CRANE CONTROLS
The crane controls are located in the crane cab and are used
for all crane functions. See (Figure 3-3) for crane cab item
number (#) identification. For best control response, run the
engine at governed RPM when operating the crane.
NOTE: The operator must be in the crane cab seat for the
crane controls to operate properly.
Hydraulic Oil Temperature Warning Light
The Hydraulic Oil Temperature Warning Light (20) is located
on the crane cab console and illuminates when the hydraulic
oil overheats. If overheating occurs, run the crane at idle with
the controls in neutral until the light goes out.
Crane Ignition Switch
The crane ignition switch (3) is located on the crane cab
console and controls the truck engine and crane cab power.
The igniton switch has three positions. OFF shuts down
engine and cab power, ON activates truck engine ignition as
well as all cab power, and Start is truck engine start.
Crane Function Power Switch
The crane function power switch (5) is located on the crane
cab console and is used to disable the crane functions for the
armrest controls. This prevents inadvertent operation of the
crane functions due to bumping. Push the switch to the ON
position to enable the armrest controllers. The red LED in the
switch is illuminated when the switch is in the ON position.
