7.2.3 CHECKING “CRANE MODE” OPERATION • Ensure that all the outriggers are securely settled, before starting crane operations. Any crane operations where outriggers are improperly used may cause the crane to tip over or other serious accidents. • The Crane is inoperable at such times where the LCD screen in the Transmitter shows an error message or the Monitor display in the Receiver shows an error code. Without fail, examine the cause of the error and perform appropriate service when any fault is identified, or contact us or our agents for services. 1. Start the engine by the Starter switch of the Crane.
CAUTION Prior to starting the engine, perform the following practices with the Crane. 1. Set the Acceleration Lever to the medium speed (about middle of its stroke). 2. Pull out the choke knob. 3. Return the choke knob to its initial position, when the engine starts. 2. Refer to the contents of “OPERATION 2.15 Operations before Crane Operations” and “OPERATION 2.16 Crane Operation Position” and configure the Crane as shown in the figure, right. 3. Then turn ON the Main switch of the Receiver. 4. Push the Power switch of the Transmitter to power ON. 5. Enter into “CRANE MODE”; confirm that the indication as “CRANE MODE” is displayed in the LCD screen.
6. Use the Boom derricking lever to the both “Raise (upper)” and “Lower (lower)” area, pull the Accelerator lever and check that the boom follows the lever operation.
7. Raise the boom to a sufficient angle (approximately 60 degree) using the Boom derricking lever, pushing to the “Raise (upper)” area.
