CONTROLS AND OPERATING PROCEDURES 1300A OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Boom Lift Control Lever
The boom lift control lever (16, Figure 3-3) is located on the
right armrest and is used to raise and lower the boom. Push
the lever forward to lower the boom and pull back to raise the
boom.
Boom Lift Control Pedal (Optional)
The boom lift control pedal is located on the cab floor and us
used to raise and lower the boom. Rock the pedal forward to
lower and back to raise the boom.
Foot Throttle
The foot throttle (8, Figure 3-3) is located on the crane cab
floor and is used to control the engine speed. Depress the
foot throttle to accelerate the engine speed and release to
return to idle.
Hand Throttle
The hand throttle (2, Figure 3-3) is located on the crane cab
console. Pull out and rotate to lock to accelerate engine.
Turn to unlock and push in to return engine to idle speed.
Increasing engine speed increases operating speed.
Crane Cab Outrigger Control Box (Optional)
The outrigger control box connector (19, Figure 3-3) is
located at the bottom of the crane cab console. The
connector provides power to the outrigger control box for
outrigger operation from the crane cab.
Radio Remotes Power Switch (Optional)
The Radio Remotes Power Switch (21, Figure 3-3) is an On-
N-On (momentary) style rocker switch, it must be pressed to
the on position before the optional Radio Remotes can be
used.
LMI Override Switch
The LMI Override Switch (22, Figure 3-3) is an On-N-On
style rocker switch. Pressing the switch to the On position re-
engages the boom down, telescope out and hoist up
controls. These functions were disabled when an overload
condition was sensed by the Load Moment Indicator (LMI). It
is important to read and understand the LMI Override
Warning information in the LMI Operator’s Manual before
using the LMI Override.
Load Chart
The load chart is stored in a pocket in the crane cab. The
load chart contains lifting capacities of the crane in all
allowable lifting configurations.
Load Moment Indicator (LMI)
The LMI provides the crane operator with the information
required for the crane to perform safely within its design
parameters. The LMI displays information on length and
angle of boom, working radius, rated load, and total weight
being lifted.
The LMI continuously monitors these parameters and
provides the operator with an updated readout of the crane
status. If a nonsafe condition is approached, the LMI warns
the operator with an alarm and locks out the crane functions
that can aggravate the situation.
CRANE CAB CLIMATE CONTROLS
The cab climate controls (15) (Figure 3-3) are used to adjust
the heating and air conditioning for operator comfort.
Diesel Heater Controls
The diesel heater controls (Figure 3-5) are as follows:
• The heat START switch (2) ignites the heater. The start
sequence is:
- The heater ignites and the fan starts at low speed.
- The heater operating temperature is reached and
switches to the boost mode.
- The fan speed increases.
• The red LED (1) is on when the heater is in the heat
mode.
DANGER
The LMI only aids the operator when properly
programmed with the proper load chart and crane
configuration. To prevent injury or death to personnel, be
sure the LMI is programmed before crane operation.
