The crane is equipped with two cabs, a carrier cab and a
superstructure cab. The carrier cab (see Figure 3-1) contains
all controls and indicators necessary for crane traveling and
parking. The superstructure cab (see Figure 3-16) contains
all controls and indicators necessary to perform all craning
operations. Both cabs utilize international symbols and
English text to label the various controls. For detailed
information on either cab, refer to either “Carrier Cab” on
page 3-1 or “Superstructure Cab” on page 3-13 in this
Section.
NOTE:
The following paragraphs describe all the available
(standard and optional) controls and indicators
located in the cab. Some machines may not be
equipped with the optional controls shown. The
numbers in ( ) represent the index number from
Figure 3-1.
All rocker switches contain one or two LED’s in the
switch for illumination.
All indicators on the top row of the consoles will

approximately two seconds as a diagnostic test
when the ignition switch is positioned to ON. If any
indicator fails to illuminate, replace it immediately.

Engine Controls and Indicators
Gauge Cluster
The gauge cluster (5) is located in the center of the front
console assembly and contains a voltmeter, oil pressure
gauge, water temperature gauge, and a fuel quantity gauge.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter (VOLTS) is located on the lower right of the
gauge cluster. With the ignition switch in the RUN (between
vertical and far right) position and before starting the engine,
the voltmeter indicates the condition of the batteries. With
the engine running, the voltmeter indicates output voltage of
the alternator. The voltmeter scale is from 16 to 32 volts.
Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
The engine oil pressure (OIL) gauge is located on the upper
right of the gauge cluster. The gauge indicates the engine oil
pressure on a scale calibrated from zero (0) to 80 psi. It
receives a signal from the crane’s electronic operating
system which receives the signal from the engine ECM via
J1939.
