involved by cycling them full stroke with the engine running until the functions
operate smoothly.
23. When welding on the crane or on anything connected to the crane by wire rope or
other conducting link, disconnect the battery, the Rated Capacity Limiter display
& computer, and the engine electronic control module. When welding on the
boom or turntable assembly, remove the cable reel and any other electronic
components bolted to these assemblies.
24. When using pressure spray to clean the crane, cover all electronic components
with sheets of plastic to protect them from spray.
