CONTROLS IDENTIFICATION AND
FUNCTION
A – Engine Controls
See Figure 3-4 for the engine controls.
A1. Engine Ignition Switch
Insert key.
Turn CLOCKWISE to RUN position to activate the crane’s
electric circuits.
Turn fully CLOCKWISE to START engine. RELEASE to
RUN position as soon as engine starts.
Rotate COUNTERCLOCKWISE to STOP engine and turn off
crane’s electric system.
NOTE: Engine diagnostic faults appear on engine screen
(see Main display in this section) when ignition
switch is in run position. Engine faults must go
away when engine is started. See engine
manufacturer’s operating instructions manual for
engine diagnostic information.
The engine has an automatically controlled air-
intake heater to aid in startup during cold weather.
A2. Engine Emergency Stop Switch
Push knob DOWN to STOP engine only in an emergency —
for example, if a crane function does not stop when control
handle is released to off (center position) or any other
uncontrolled motion of a crane function is observed.
Beware — When knob is pushed down, engine stops,
brakes apply, and any functions being operated come to
an abrupt stop.
NOTE The knob must be pulled up before the engine can
be restarted.
If the emergency stop switch has been activated,
test all disk brakes for proper operation before
putting the crane back in service. See Section 2 of
Service Manual for procedure.
Use engine ignition switch (A1) to stop engine for
normal operating conditions.
A3. Engine Hand Throttle
Pull handle BACK to INCREASE engine speed.
Push handle FORWARD to DECREASE engine speed.
NOTE: The selected engine speed is maintained when the
handle is released.
Speed of the crane functions depends on engine
speed and on how far the control handles are
moved in either direction from off.
Engine speed must be fast enough to provide
sufficient power for the work being done. Engine
can stall under load if engine speed is too slow.
Engine speed cannot be increased while the
following faults are on. Engine speed can be
reduced, but cannot be increased again until the
faults are off. See Page 3-53
for fault identification.
• Fault 40, High Vacuum
• Fault 61, Dirty Return Filter
A4. Engine Foot Throttle
PRESS foot throttle to INCREASE engine speed above the
hand throttle setting.
RELEASE foot throttle to DECREASE engine speed to idle
or to the hand throttle setting.
A5. Engine Clutch Lever
Pull clutch lever UP and push IN to ENGAGE the clutch.
Pull clutch lever OUT and push DOWN to DISENGAGE the
clutch.
WARNING
Unauthorized Startup!
Always STOP engine and remove key before leaving
crane unattended. This practice will prevent unauthorized
personnel from operating crane.
DANGER
Engine Explosion Hazard!
Do not spray any combustible starting aid (ether) into
engine air intake.
This engine has air-intake heaters that will ignite ether
resulting in a severe explosion and/or burns.
CAUTION
Engine Damage!
To avoid possible engine fault codes and undesirable
operation, make sure engine ignition switch has been off
five minutes before disconnecting batteries.
Do not rely on this switch to protect crane’s electronic
systems when welding. Disconnect battery cables at
batteries before welding.
