In the normal operational mode, the system is programmed to remember the configuration last selected. 
Each time the system is powered up, it will automatically choose that configuration. Only when the crane is 
rigged differently must a new configuration be selected. 

CRANE SET UP

The menu for the crane set up consists of two consecutive steps. 

1.  Select auxiliary tip or no erected attachment. 

2.  Select boom configuration (lifting from main or aux hoist). 

• 

AFTER COMPLETING THE SELECTIONS FOR CRANE SET UP, USE THE WINCH

• 

ALL OF THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE SYSTEM IS ENTERED  
DURING CRANE SET-UP.
