position allows main hoist functions and energizes the Main
Hoist High Speed Solenoid, resulting in high line speeds.
Positioning the switch to the center Off position will prevent
hoisting. Positioning the switch to the Low position allows
main hoist functions and de-energizes the Main Hoist High
Speed Solenoid, resulting in low line speeds.
Auxiliary Hoist Control (Single Axis Option)
The Auxiliary Hoist Control (4, Figure 3-9) is located on the
left armrest. The joystick controls auxiliary hoist functions,
push the joystick forward to let out the hoist cable or pull the
lever back to reel the cable in.
Swing Control (Single Axis Option)
The Swing Control Joystick (5, Figure 3-9) located on the left
armrest, controls the swing function. The joystick, when
pushed forward rotates the turntable clockwise or pulled
back rotates the turntable counterclockwise, actuates a
control valve through hydraulic pilot pressure to provide 360
degree continuous rotation in the desired direction.
Swing and Telescope or Swing and Auxiliary
Hoist Control Lever (Dual Axis Option—Not
Shown)
The Swing and Telescope or Auxiliary Hoist (Swing/Tele or
Swing/Aux) control lever is located on the end of the left
armrest. The lever controls the swing and telescope
functions when the crane is not equipped with an auxiliary
hoist. When equipped with an auxiliary hoist, the lever
controls swing and auxiliary hoist functions and telescope
functions are controlled through a foot pedal.
If not equipped with an auxiliary hoist, positioning the lever
forward actuates the control valve to telescope the boom out
and pulling the lever back actuates the boom to telescope in.
If equipped with an auxiliary hoist, positioning the lever
forward actuates the control valve to let out hoist cable and
pulling the lever back reels the cable in. Moving the lever in a
diagonal direction actuates the two functions simultaneously.
Auxiliary Hoist Speed Selector Switch
(Optional)
The Auxiliary Hoist Speed Selector Switch (6, Figure 3-9) is
a three positioned maintained switch (High/Off/Low) that is
located on the left armrest. Positioning the switch to High
position allows auxiliary hoist functions and energizes the
Auxiliary Hoist High Speed Solenoid, resulting in high line
speeds. Positioning the switch to the center Off position will
prevent hoisting. Positioning the switch to the Low position
allows auxiliary hoist functions and de-energizes the
Auxiliary Hoist High Speed Solenoid, resulting in low line
speeds.
Rear Steer Switch
The Rear Steer Control Switch (7, Figure 3-9) is a three-
position, spring centered to off, rocker switch, located on the
left armrest. Press the bottom of the switch to actuate a
control valve to turn the rear wheels to the left, causing the
crane to turn to the right. Press the top of the switch actuates
a control valve to turn the rear wheels to the right, causing
the crane to turn to the left. When the wheels are not
centered the Rear Wheels Not Centered light on the steering
column illuminates. Releasing the switch causes it to return
to the center off position.
To straighten the rear wheels press the switch until the Rear
Wheels Not Centered indicator light goes off.
Swing Brake Control Switch
The Swing Brake Control Switch (8, Figure 3-9) is located on
the left arm rest. This two-position rocker switch (On/Off) is
used to control a hydraulic valve that directs a regulated flow
of pressure to and from the swing brake. Positioning the
switch to On will apply the swing brake and positioning the
switch to Off will release the swing brake. When the switch is
in the On position, the red indicator light on the steering
column is illuminated. The switch has a lock to prevent
accidental activation.
Axle Differential Lock Control Switch
(Optional)
NOTE: The differential lock will only work when the crane
is in the 4WD mode.
The Differential Lock Control Switch (9, Figure 3-9) is located
on the left arm rest. It is a two position, momentary rocker
switch. When positioned to Lock, the splines on the shift
