control module. Each hoist control lever pulses when its hoist
is running so the operator’s thumb can sense it.

The hoist drum rotation indicator (DRI) and Minimum Wrap
Indicator (MWI) are integrated into one monitoring system
located on the left side of the hoist.

Minimum Wrap Indicator

The minimum wrap indicator is programmed to notify the
operator when there are three wraps of wire rope or 8 wraps
of (optional) synthetic hoist rope left on the hoist drum. When
the minimum wrap of the last layer is reached, the icon on
the console display panel will show solid. This feature does
not lock out the hoist down function. Both main and auxiliary
hoists use this indicator.

Single Axis Controller (Boom Lift/Hoist 
Cable

The boom lift control level (35, Figure 3-5) and the main hoist
control lever (36, Figure 3-5) are located on the right
armrest.

Push the boom lift lever (35) forward to lower the boom, pull
back to raise the boom. 

Push the main hoist lever (36) forward to play out loadline,
pull the lever back to take up loadline.

Single Axis Controller (Swing/Boom Tele)

The swing control lever (38, Figure 3-5) and the telescope or
auxiliary hoist control lever (37, Figure 3-5) are located on
the left armrest.

superstructure clockwise, pull the swing lever back to rotate
the superstructure counterclockwise. 

Push the telescope lever (37) forward to extend the boom,
pull the lever back to retract the boom. If equipped with an
auxiliary hoist, this lever (37) operates the auxiliary hoist
lever and the telescope pedal (3, Figure 3-4) controls the
boom telescoping function.

Adjustable Swing Speed Valve

The crane is equipped with an adjustable swing speed valve
(1, Figure 3-7) that sets the maximum swing speed of the

machine. Turn the valve knob clockwise to increase and
counterclockwise to decrease speed. 

HEATER

The diesel powered supplemental heater (1, Figure 3-8) is
located under the cab support frame and supplies heat to the
crane cab. The heater controls the temperature of the crane
cab by cycling coolant between the heater and the climate
control unit located under the cab seat. Controls (25, 26, 27,
Figure 3-4) for the heater are located on the overhead
control panel in the crane cab.

CAUTION

Do not actuate the Swing Control Lever while the Swing
Brake is engaged, as the turret may push through the
brake. Damage to the swing brake can occur.
