General
The following instructions identify and describe operation of
remote controls. Disregard any control not equipped on your
crane.
This crane has two types of remote controls:
• Set-up remote control shown in Figure 3-35
. Store
remote control in left side enclosure until needed.
• Manually controlled handles for crawler pins and jacking
remote controls on front of carbody shown in

Set-Up Remote Control
See Figure 3-35 for the following procedure.
Set-up remote control can be operated in any mode.
A slight delay is normal from the time a remote toggle switch
is enabled to the time a corresponding function operates.
On current production cranes:
- The swing/travel alarm will sound continuously
when a function is being operated by the remote
control.
- Cranes meeting 2010 European requirements, the
controls in the operator’s cab and the carbody
manual controls cannot be operated when the set-
up remote control mode is on.
To operate set-up remote control, proceed as follows:
1. Remove remote control from left side enclosure, near
node-3.
2. Disconnect W36 cable from W*6 receptacle on node-3
