800D OPERATION
ADJUSTABLE SWING SPEED VALVE
The Series 800D is equipped with an adjustable swing speed 
valve. This valve allows the operator to limit the maximum 
swing speed of the machine to suit operator preference or 
varying applications.
An adjustment dial is located on the swing holding valve 
mounted on the swing motor inside the crane frame. The 
valve has an adjustment screw with a lock collar. Loosen the 
lock collar when adjusting the speed, then tighten the lock 
collar to maintain swing speed limit setting. Turning the knob 
counter-clockwise reduces the rotation speed. The 
adjustment dial allows the maximum swing speed to be 
reduced as follows:
