switches must be OFF first before changing between states
1 and 2.
Control States
Much like the Ignition States, Crane Control States allow for
the crane to be operated in different ways depending on the
desired function. There are several Crane Control States, but
the main states are listed below:
•
Control State = 5 (Control OFF)
•
Control State = 0 (Lower Control)
•
Control State = 1 (Crane Cab Control)
•
Control State = 3 (Radio Remote Control)
When the Crane key switch is turned ON and the truck
engine is started, the crane is in Control State = 0. In this
state, the outriggers can be operated using the ground level
panels on either side of the crane and the hoists and single
front outrigger (optional) can be operated using the standard
handheld remote control.
The cab HVAC is functional also to allow the machine to be
heated and cooled while not using the crane functions.
To transition between Control State = 0 to Control State = 1,
the crane power switch must be ON, the armrests must be in
the down position, and the operator must be sitting on the
cab seat to activate the safety switch. In this Control State 1,
the lower outrigger stations and the standard remote control
are inactive. The cab hand-held outrigger controller is active
along with all crane functions.
To use the optional crane remote controller (if equipped), the
crane power switch and radio remote switch must both be
OFF and the crane cab ignition switch must be ON. To
enable remote control operation, turn on the remote power
switch. Refer to
Crane Remote Control (optional)
for more information on the crane remote controller
operation. Similar to the Ignition States, both crane and
remote power switches must be OFF to switch between
states.
TRUCK CAB CONTROLS
The truck cab controls described here are those controls that
are used in conjunction with the crane controls.
Truck Cab Ignition Switch
Truck cab ignition switch must be OFF in order for crane cab
ignition switch to be operable.
Power Take Off (PTO)
Manual Shift Control
The PTO is engaged when the knob on the dash or floor is
pulled out and disengaged when the knob is pushed in. The
truck gear shift lever must be in neutral and the clutch
depressed whenever the knob is moved.
Air Shift Control
The PTO is engaged when the switch is moved to apply air to
PTO and disengaged when switch is in off position. The truck
gear shift lever must be in neutral and clutch depressed
when switch is moved. The transmission selector lever must
be returned to “N” for stationary vehicle operation. The
power take-off may be disengaged while in any transmission
range provided that the load has first been removed from the
PTO.
Electric Shift Control
Full torque electric shift PTO's are controlled by a switch. To
operate, disengage the clutch, shift to fourth or fifth gear, and
the move the switch down to engage the PTO or up to
disengage the PTO. Return the gear shift to neutral and
engage the clutch.
Power Shift Control
If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, the
power take-off must be engaged with the engine at idle. See
transmission manufacturer ’s instructions for special
procedures.
Park Brake
The truck brake must be firmly set before leaving cab to
begin operation. If the ground surface is icy or slick or is
sloped, you may be required to help immobilize the truck with
wheel chocks.
Engine Speed Governor
Some diesel engines are equipped with a variable speed
governor which overrides the engine speed governor. If
equipped, two knobs in the cab select between crane
operation and normal driving operation.
Neutral Start/Safety Switch
The truck must be equipped with a neutral/start safety switch
on transmission. Check occasionally to ensure it is working
correctly and repair if it is not.
Outrigger Controls
The outriggers can be operated from two locations, including
a hand-held controller located (1, Figure 3-1) in the crane
cab and ground station control panels (Figure 3-2) located
on the left and right sides of the carrier frame. Each controller
contains the control switches for extending and retracting the
outrigger beams, for raising and lowering the outrigger
stabilizer (jack) cylinders and for raising and lowering the
center front stabilizer (optional).
