The Safety Horn Button in the Travel Control Group (next to the Ignition Switch).
The Safety Horn Button in the Outrigger Control Group (next to the Crane/ Outrigger Mode Toggle).
The Remote Safety Horn Button on the Remote Controller.
Voice Mute Switch
The voice mute switch, when set to the OFF position turns off the audible signals from the voice warning sys-
tems and audible alerts system.
The voice mute switch does not affect audible signals from the LMI, the TPD, or the outrigger mode alarm.
Outrigger Buzzer
Mute Switch
This is a mute switch specifically for the outrigger mode alarm.
TPD Alarm Mute
The TPD alarm mute is an on/off toggle used to mute the alarms associated with the TPD.
While all of the audible alarms and indicators can be switched off, doing so WILL reduce your situational awareness. Audible alarms and
indicators should ONLY be turned off when the SPYDERCRANE is being operated where noise controls are in effect.
