2. See “Operation 2.2 Starting the Engine” to start the engine.

3. Check whether the outrigger lowers smoothly when one of the Outrigger individual setting switches (15) is turned to "OUT". Also, check whether the outrigger rises smoothly when that Outrigger individual setting switches (15) is turned to "IN". During the operation, check whethter any abnormal sound is made. Continue the same checking for rest of Outrigger individual setting switches accordingly.

4. Check whether the 4 outriggers lower smoothly when the Outrigger collective setting switches (16) is turned to "OUT".

2. Verify that the boom rises smoothly when the boom derricking lever (4) is operated to "RAISE" side (pull toward you). Also, verify that the boom lowers smoothly when the boom derricking lever (4) is operated to "LOWER" side (push forward). When doing the above, check for any abnormal sound emitted by part of the boom or from the boom derricking cylinder. If there is any abnormality, repair.

3. Verify that the boom extends smoothly when the boom telescoping lever (2) is operated to "EXTEND" (push forward). Also, verify that the boom retracts smoothly when the boom telescoping lever (2) is operated to "RETRACT" (pull toward you).
