NOTE

Crane control valves have variable speed capability. Moving a lever

slightly will cause slow movement of the crane function. Moving the

lever to its full travel will cause the crane function to move faster.

y.

Check each of the five switch levers on remote-control unit (3) for proper response

and function (refer to HIAB crane front remote station and remote-control system

controls and indicators (WP 0027) for more information).

z.

Push remote-control ON/OFF power switch (8) to OFF position until ready to use

crane.

WARNING

Do not exceed crane load lift limits. In manual operation, overload

protection device is not functional and safe crane limits could be ex-

ceeded. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

WARNING

Pilot-operated overcenter valves which are active during manual valve

operation may allow the operator to lift a load which exceeds limits,

but when control lever is released, load will automatically lower.

WARNING

Before lifting load, check all rigging (lines, slings, chains, pallets, etc.)

for correct attachment to load and rated capacity. Failure to check

these items may cause load to fall, resulting in injury to personnel.

CAUTION

Continuous crane operation for extended periods of time may cause

hydraulic oil to overheat. Extended periods of high idle with PTO pump
