16-2 PTO switch operation
(611A-0074-0E)
After locking the suspension, hold the engine at idling speed and move
the PTO switch on the left side of the front panel to the "ON" position.
At this time, the PTO indicator lamp on the switch panel will light.
・
Lock the suspension before you turn the PTO switch "ON".
If you turn the PTO switch "ON" without locking the suspension, the suspension lock
cylinders will lock where they are at different stages of extension.
・
If you lock the suspension lock cylinders without fully retracting them and attempt any crane
operations without the outriggers, the body will not be level and the crane will tip over.
・
Fully retract and lock the suspension cylinders regardless of whether or not the outriggers will
be used to turn the PTO switch "ON" before you start crane operation.
(541A-0155-2E)
・ Before you work the PTO switch, take your foot off the accelerator pedal so that the engine is
idling.
・
When the PTO switch is switched "OFF", the brake will be applied automatically to
immobilize the superstructure regardless of the slewing brake switch position.
・
Before you drive on the road, move the superstructure to the driving position, stow the
outriggers, set the PTO switch to the "OFF" position and release the suspension lock to return
the suspension lock cylinders to the "driving position".

Work the PTO switch with the idle speed knob set to "AUTO".
