If there are problems with power, speed or shifting that are not caused by the engine
or by electrical problems, check the oil. Drain the transmission, remove the filter and
suction screen, check them for excessive contamination and save the contaminants
for further examination.
If abnormal contamination is found or a problem cannot be diagnosed and fixed by the
above steps, please call your Broderson dealer or the Broderson Service Department to
have a Funk Manufacturing service representative contact you.
TOWING
If the crane must be towed, run the engine at low idle to release the parking brake and
lubricate the transmission and do not exceed 10 mph (16 km/hr). If the engine cannot be
run, release the parking brake by turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise until
loose. Do not exceed 3 mph (5 km/hr) and one mile (1.6 km) total distance while towing.
Afterward, readjust the park brake by the procedure on Page 3-34. If these conditions
cannot be met, disconnect the drive lines and do not exceed 10 mph (16 km/hr).
