(5) Accelerator pedal
This pedal controls the operation speed during crane operation.
Sudden acceleration during crane operation is dangerous. Always
try to work the accelerator smoothly.
Before operating the accelerator pedal, confirm that the needle of the engine water temperature
gauge is above point "C".
Operating the accelerator pedal while the engine coolant temperature is low could cause a
seizure, fast wear, damage etc. due to poor lubrication (from high oil viscosity) of the engine and
torque converter.
Properly perform warm-up running.

-1
