CRANE OPERATION POSITION TRAVEL POSITION STOWAGE POSITION

When changing the position of the travel lever stand, be sure to change
the position by holding the stand lever instead of the travel lever.
CRANE OPERATION POSITION
When operating a crane, pull up the lock lever and tilt the travel lever stand toward you.
Tilt the travel lever stand until it contacts the stopper. If the crane is operated
without the travel lever stand tilted to the end, the travel lever may contact the main
body of the crane while the crane is swung, resulting in breakage.
Be careful not to contact the travel lever while operating the crane.
The contact activates the crawler, which is dangerous.
TRAVEL POSITION
When travelling, set the travel lever stand to the travel position.
Be sure to secure the stand with the lock lever.
When the travel lever stand is set to the travel position, the crane does not
operate at all except for travelling.
When changing to the travel position, be sure to stow the boom and outriggers
and position the crane to the travel position. Travelling without positioning
the crane to the travel position may cause a serious accident such as turnover.
STOWAGE POSITION
When transporting a crane, pull up the lock lever and tilt the travel lever stand toward the column.
Even when the travel lever stand is in the stowage position, operation of the travel lever
actuates the carriage if the hydraulic pump operates. Use due care when changing the position.

★The chart shows hoisting capacity when the crane is set up level with
the outriggers extended and the data are based on actual working
radius by incorporating shift due to deflection of the boom under
loaded.
★The rated loads specified above are based on strength of the crane
and stability of the crane.
Be sure to check the chart for the rated load as it is to be changed
according to how far the outriggers are extended.
★This chart shows the rated load including load handling equipment
such as slings, buckets, hook blocks, etc. and the weight of material
being handled. The weight of the load handling equipment must be
deducted from rated load rating to determine how much payload you

If it is forced to operate the crane with the outriggers extended to minimum or to halfway, oper-
ate the crane in accordance with instructions shown below.

1. Find the working radius.

2. The rated load is to be obtained from the data shown in the “not max ext. outriggers” accord-
ing to how boom-sections are extended.
●When operated with the working radius of 11ft ,with the extended boom configuration of
1+2 , and with outriggers extended to halfway or to minimum, take 950 lbs.
●When operated with the working radius of 10ft, with the extended boom configuration of
1+2+3 , and with outriggers extended to halfway or to minimum, take 1150 lbs.

CAUTION
★When the outriggers are extended to minimum or halfway, operate the
crane according to capacity obtained from “not max extended outrig-
gers” on the chart of rated load.
★The load indicator can not be used when the outriggers are extended
to minimum or to halfway.

WARNING
★It is important that you know the weight of any material that you
attempt to handle.
This can be determined by use of a dynamometer or scales.
Note: The rated load chart shows the rated load including load handling
equipment such as slings, buckets, hook block, etc., and the
weight of material being handled.
The weight of load handling equipment must be deducted from
the rated load rating to determine how much pay load you can lift.

WARNING
★Observe the caution to secure safety.
Failure to observe the cautions may invite trouble or serious accident.
Be sure to carry out the inspection in particular before starting opera-
tion.

1 Carry out careful inspection before oper-

ation, and daily and periodical inspection
to confirm that the turn over prevention
device functions properly.

2 The turn over prevention device is a

safety device that allows to slow down
operating speed gradually while making an
intermittent warning sound when the ground
reaction against the outrigger located on
opposite side of the boom decreases to the
specified level due to increase of crane
moment.
Beep・・・ If the reaction force of the outrigger decreas-
es further, the warning changes to continuous
sound and the crane makes an automatic stop.
Crane functions to be stopped are : winding
up hook, extending boom, and lowering
boom.
Check the turn over prevention device for
proper operation before starting the crane
operation.

3 If the crane is operated via radio-con-

troller, operate it within the range where
the alarm sound can be heard.

4 Over-loaded operation is strictly prohib-

ited.
The turn over prevention device is not a
device for preventing overload.
It is the principle that you should persistently
observe the operation within rated load.
Do not put too much confidence on the
device.
Leaning of the crane due to swing of a lifted
cargo or parking on unleveled ground may
allow the crane to be overturned.

In this case, faster operating speed can make
the crane to be overturned to which must pay
attention.

6 Observe that the crane shall not be oper-

ated within the prohibited range in
extending outriggers.
The turn over prevention device will not
function safely when the crane is operated
within the prohibited range.

7 Keep the “ON-OFF” switch for alarm

buzzer turning ON unless there is any
special reason.

 DESCRIPTION OF EACH CONTROL DEVICE

♦3. Function of turn over prevention device

Carry out normal crane operation after completion of inspection before starting crane operation.
The turn over prevention device is a safety device that prevents the crane from being overturned
by stopping crane functions automatically while issuing alarm sound when the average setting-
up reaction force of the ground against two (2) adjacent outriggers on the opposite side of the
boom reaches the specified set value.
The setting-up reaction force of the ground against each outrigger is always detected by load
cell.

1 Advance alarm for overturn

When the average of setting-up reaction force

of the ground against two (2) adjacent outrig-
gers on the opposite side of the boom
decreases, the alarm buzzer makes an inter-
mittent alarm sound (beep, beep) of advance
alarm to give a warning.

immediately.

2 Threshold alarm for overturn

When the average of setting-up reaction force

of the ground against two (2) adjacent outrig-
gers on the opposite side of the boom
decreases further and it becomes dangerous
conditions, the alarm buzzer makes an con-
tinuous threshold alarm sound (bee • • • • ee)
to give a warning and following functions of
the crane are to be stopped automatically:
• Hoisting hook
• Extending boom
Alarm buzzer • Lowering boom
ON/OFF switch • Slewing boom

★ The crane may be overturned due to

ON
swing of a lifted cargo such as by an
OFF abrupt stop when the crane is operated in
high speed to which special attention must
be paid.
★ If sound of alarm buzzer should be
avoided such as in working at night or
working in residential areas, turn OFF the
alarm buzzer switch to stop the buzzer.
Turn it ON when in normal crane opera-
tion.

CAUTIONS TURN OVER PREVENTION DEVICE

Be sure to perform inspection (pre-start inspection) before starting operations
to make sure that this device works.
Overload is strictly prohibited. This device is designed for operations within
the rated load in principle and not for prevention of overload. Do not have
too much confidence in this device. If the crane inclines due to swing of load
or grounding on rough terrain, it could turnover.
As ground reaction force is lowering, a warning indicating that turnover is
close is given. Slow down the operating speed and immediately operate the crane
to a safe side. If ground reaction force further lowers, the following crane
movements stop automatically. In this case, extreme care must be used because
the crane may turnover due to swing of load if the crane speed is fast.

r How to Crawl

WARNING
★Start the crane crawling after the safety around the crawler has been
confirmed and make a sign when starting the crane crawling.
★Carry out crawling operation by standing in front of the crawling
lever.
★Keep anyone away from the crane.
★Do not craw the crane with someone or an object mounted on the
crane.
★Arrange those who guide at a place where it may be unsafe and you
have a blind spot.
★Crawl the crane as slowly as possible while making a turn.
★If crawling backward, watch where it is to be crawl and restrain crawl-
ing speed.
★Run the crane slowly when making a sharp turn and crawling on a
rough road.
★Before leaving the crane, shift the crawling lever stand to storing
position and stop the engine.
★Avoid running over obstacles.
If it is unavoidable, crawl at low speed and keep the crane to lean less
than 10° to the side.
★When parking the crane on the street is unavoidable, set up safety
devices such as a sign, a barricade, and a blinking light so that passing
of other vehicles and pedestrians may not be disturbed.
★Put a pallet against the rubber crawler when parking the crane for a
long period of time.
★Do not park the crane over a place where withered grass or straw,
which is flammable.
This may cause a fire by heat of exhaust pipe or exhaust fume.
★When crawling the crane on a water filled area, observe to crawl it
within allowable depth of water.
Allowable depth: Up to the center of crawling motor or of sprocket.
★In case where the machine is forced to turn on the spot (spin turn),
be sure to stop the movement of the machine first, allow the engine to
run at a low speed to make it turn slowly and gently.

e Procedures to set up outriggers

WARNING
★Crane operation without setting up the outriggers is strictly prohibit-
ed.
★Do not operate the crane and extend outrigger cylinders and inner
boxes while outriggers have been stored.
★When setting up the outriggers on a rough ground or on a slope, be
sure to place a support (such as plank, steel plate etc.) under the outrig-
ger foot flanges to keep the crane level.
In addition, when the crane is to be operated on a soft ground, take the
same measures to prevent the outrigger foot flanges from sinking into
the ground when a cargo is lifted up.
Setting up the crane on a ground where it is not solid and firm enough
may cause it to be overturned.
★Do not put your foot under the outrigger foot flange while outriggers
are being extended.
It may invite such accident as that the foot may be crushed by the out-
rigger.
★Operation with the crane kept leaning makes it unstable when a
cargo is lifted up.
Such operation can cause the outriggers to be damaged and the crane
to be overturned.
★The rated load is to be changed according to how far (maximum,
halfway, minimum) the outriggers are extended.
Be sure to consult the “sticker concerning PROHIBITED AREA OF
CRANE OPERATIONS” for the rated load corresponding to each exten-
sion.
★In normal crane operation, set up the crane level on a solid and firm
ground with the outriggers fully extended and lift up the crane body by
approx. 2in (50mm) above the ground.
★When outriggers are extended or being stored, be sure to insert the
set pins so that the outriggers may not be rotated unexpectedly.
★When extending outriggers, extend the inner boxes and allow them to
touch the ground by using the outrigger cylinders.
★Be sure to touch the outriggers to the ground, as the crane may sink
into the ground naturally if they are detached away from the ground.

r How to operate boom for “derricking”

(raising and lowering)

WARNING
★An abrupt crane operation while a cargo is being lifted up gives an
excessive shock to the crane which may cause the crane to be dam-
aged or the crawler to be overturned.
Be sure to control levers slowly.

★The longer the boom is extended, the faster a cargo is lifted up and
down by boom derricking operation.
Operate the boom so that a cargo can be lifted up slowly.

★ When lowering boom with a cargo hoisted, the working radius

increases which in turn decreases the capacity specified in the rated
load chart.
Check the readings of load indicator to confirm the safety before the
boom is lowered.

To raise
Shift the lever to “RAISE” to raise the boom.
To lower
Shift the lever to “LOWER” to lower the
boom.
To stop
Return the lever to neutral position to stop
the boom derricking.

◆Power automatic accelerator

When the control lever is shifted further to
"RAISE" or "LOWER", the engine speed
increases according to the movement of the

WARNING
★Pay attention that the hook will not be over-wound.
Be sure to turn ON the “alarm sound ON/OFF switch”.
★If the hook hits against the boom top due to being over-wound of the
hook, it may cause damage to the wire rope and the sheaves at the
boom top and may cause the lifted cargo to fall.

To wind up(raise)
Shift the lever to “UP” to raise the hook.
To wind down(lower)
Shift the lever to “DOWN” to lower the

 HOW TO OPERATE CRANE

CAUTION
★Further paying out of the wire rope after the hook has reached the
ground causes the rope to be irregularly wound around the drum.
Lifting up a cargo with the rope irregularly wound on the drum damages
the rope which results in remarkable shortening of its service life.
★When paying out wire rope longer such as down to underground
work site, make sure that more than 3 turns of wire rope shall always be
left on the drum.
★When the first layer of wire rope fails to be wound around the drum
firmly and regularly, ropes wound over the first layer may dig into the
inner layers to cause an irregular winding,
When the wire rope is unwound to or wound up from the first layer of
rope, wind it up/down slowly so that the first layer of rope can be
wound around the drum firmly and regularly.
★Stop the crane operation when hydraulic oil temperature exceeds
176° F (80°C).
Oil temperature is apt to rise easily if repeated operation of winding
up/down of the hook, especially in a high lift, is carried out.

■ To know approximate oil tem-

perature by sense of touch:
You can touch the oil tank (Lower
1 5 8 °F
part) with the palm of your hand
(7 0 °C)
for 3~4 seconds.
You can touch the oil tank (Lower
1 7 6 °F
part) with your finger tip for 1~2
(8 0 °C)
seconds.
The moment you touch the oil

Failure to observe the cautions may invite troubles or serious acci-
dents.

1 In case of crane operation through transmitter, pay

attention to circumstances around the crane and to
the safety especially for the crane that it will not to be
overturned as the operator is to control the crane at a dis-
tance.

Noise 2 Pay attention to the swing of a lifted cargo as the

crane may make an abrupt stop when operating it
through radio remote control device because it may be
affected by radio interference, radio jamming, and noise
coming from outside.
Abrupt stop ! In order for the crane system not to be affected easily by noise
(Swing of cargo) coming from outside, operate the crane with the following in
mind:
① Operator must not leave the crane unnecessarily.
Operate the crane within working radius of the crane.
② Correct or repair the transmission antenna (located at the
stem of transmitter) if it has been distorted or damaged.

●Remarks
Typical source of noise interference:
• Ignition noise emitted from the engines such as of
motorcycles or of portable generators.
• Buzzers using contacts such as for alarming when
reversing vehicles.
• Electric motors of air-conditioner fan, electric fan, and
flashing beacon mounted in cab compartment.

3 Remove the batteries when the transmitter will not

be used for a long period of time.
Otherwise, leakage of battery may result.
Batteries Be sure to observe the cautions indicated on the batteries
as liquid inside will leak due to wrong use of batteries.

Battery case

Battery cover

4 Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local

regulations.

5 Never try disassembly or alteration of transmitter,

receiver, and control box.
Do not remove the stay of transmitter as the transmission
antenna is built in it.

6 Do not drop or hit the transmitter against some-

thing, or give a strong shock, as it may cause dam-
age to the enclosure or breakdown of electronic compo-
nents.
In addition, dropping or giving a strong shock to the
transmitter may damage batteries inside causing genera-
tion of heat.
If the transmitter has been given a strong shock, be sure
to check batteries and replace them if damaged.

7 Do not wash the transmitter with water directly.

Wipe dirt off the transmitter with a piece of cloth
wet with water or diluted detergent.
Avoid using an alkaline detergent, an alcohol, or a spray-
ing washing detergent for this purpose as they may cause
the plastic housing of transmitter to crack.

12-3

8 Do not thrust the control panel in the transmitter

and/or control keys with a sharp article as it may
make a hole resulting in entering water inside through it.

9 Do not give the transmitter an abrupt temperature

change.
An abrupt temperature change may cause a fault due to
building-up condensation inside of the transmitter.

10 Do not put or store the transmitter where:

• It is exposed to direct sunlight,

• It is in front of hot air outlet exhausted out of the vehi-
cle, and
• It is close to a heating apparatus or it is too humid.

be sure not to touch any of manual levers as manual levers shift simul-
taneously.

(3) When stopping the crane operation,

return the “speed lever” slowly, and then
return the “selector switch”.

(4) Depression of the “horn switch” activates

the horn on the vehicle.
Use it when calling attention to those
who stand around the vehicle.

●Remarks
• Switches mounted on the remote con-
Horn switch troller are ON/OFF type which can be
actuated with a light touch.
Do not apply strong force as it may cause
damage to the switches.
• When the same radio wave (of specified
small power radiation type radio system)
is being used near he working site,
response time of the crane it takes from
the time when the radio remote control
devise has been operated may become
longer to some extent which is not a
fault.
• When operating with the remote con-
troller, working speed may become a bit
slower than that of manual operation.

2. How to confirm and change

speed mode
When operating the crane with the engine
running at a medium speed, or at a lower
speed such as in case of working at night, the
speed mode can be changed.

(1) How to confirm speed mode

(High speed mode) Check the “power lamp” for lighting color, if
Speed selector switch it is lit in;
Power lamp ① Red : High speed mode
(Lighting in red) ② Orange : Medium speed mode
③ Green : Low speed mode
If the “power lamp” is not lit, turn ON the
power to transmitter to light the “power
lamp”.
● Orange illumination is realized by lighting
both red and green LED elements.
Red and green LEDs may be seen separately
where it is in a lot of sunshine.
(Medium speed mode)
Speed selector switch
(2) How to change speed mode
Confirm that the “power lamp” is lit to
Power lamp depress the “speed selector switch”.
(Lighting in Every time the “speed selector switch” is
orange) depressed, the “power lamp” lights in the
order of

Red Orange Green

changing speed mode accordingly.

(Low speed mode) Depression of the “speed selector switch with

the “power lamp” lit in red allows the lamp to
Speed selector switch
light in orange changing it into on medium
speed mode.
Power lamp
(Lighting in Depression of the “speed selector switch”
green) with the “power lamp” lit in orange allows
the lamp to light in green changing it into on
low speed mode.
Depression of the “speed selector switch”
with the “power lamp” lit in green allows the
lamp to light in red changing it into on high
speed mode.

12-16
U-WAVE, Radio remote control device

●Remarks
Setting of speed mode is to be memorized even when power to transmitter has been
turned OFF.
Note that a slight speed difference between slewing C.C.W./C.W. may be found when slew-
ing it on the low speed mode which is not a fault.

(3) Speed mode and manual lever control

Manual lever control is also applied to the speed mode.

High speed mode.................Engine will run at maximum speed.

Medium speed mode ...........Engine will run at medium speed range.
Low speed mode..................Engine will run at close to idling speed.

●Remarks
Speed mode can only be changed through radio control transmitter.
Speed mode switches to high speed mode when power to the crane is turned OFF (starter
switch is turned OFF).

Since setting of speed mode is memorized even when power to radio control transmitter has
been turned OFF, speed mode is switched to the mode as the radio control transmitter has mem-
orized previously when the crane is operated through radio control transmitter after power to
the crane is turned ON again.

3. Interlocking balance control function

When interlocking operation (operation of speed lever with more than 2 of “selector switches”
thrown) is carried out through the radio control transmitter, the system equips the function con-
trolling movement of each control lever for each combination of the “selector switches”.

Therefore, when the speed lever is pulled to its extreme, movement of each control lever varies
in accordance with combination of “selector switches”.

In some cases, the control lever may not be shifted to its full extent despite the fact that the
speed lever on the radio control transmitter has been fully pulled which is not a fault.

●Remarks On interlocking balance retaining function:

The crane equips interlocking retaining function which prevent its operating speed from making
an abrupt increase when interlocking operation is switched to independent operation,

When operation is switched from interlocking to independent (change from operation of speed
lever with more than 2 of “selector switches” thrown to operation of speed lever with one of
“selector switches” thrown), control speed may become slower as oppose to that of the indepen-
dent operation, which is not a fault.
In order to correct this, release all the “selector switches” once and go back to independent
operation again.

For immediate returning to normal speed of independent operation when it is switched from
interlocking to independent, validity of interlocking balance retaining function can be switched
through the transmitter.

In order for the interlocking balance retaining

Boom Up/Down switch
function to be invalid, depress the “store
hook” switch with the “boom Up/Down”
switch turned to ”Down”.
Voice message, “Change control mode,
Change control mode”, sounds and the inter-
locking balance retaining function changes to
be invalid.
(The voice message does not sound when the
Store Hook switch function remains as it was.)
Switching condition of the interlocking bal-
ance retaining function can be confirmed as
Speed lever the mode indicator is to be lit as in [ ]
(meaning “invalid”) while the switch is being
controlled.

12-18
U-WAVE, Radio remote control device

In order for the interlocking balance retaining function to be valid, depress the “store hook”
switch with the “boom Up/Down” switch turned to ”Up”.
Voice message, “Change control mode, Change control mode”, sounds and the interlocking bal-
ance retaining function changes to be valid.
(The voice message does not sound when the function remains as it was.)
Switching condition of the interlocking balance retaining function can be confirmed as the
mode indicator is to be lit as in [ ] (meaning “valid)” while the switch is being controlled.

CAUTION
★Be careful that the operation speed returns to that of independent
operation immediately when it is switched from interlocking to indepen-
dent with the interlocking balance retaining function switched to be
invalid.

●Remarks
If the “boom Up/Down” switch is controlled before depression of the “store hook” switch,
voice message, “Ping-pong, Secure lifting hook, Secure lifting hook”, may sounds which is not
a fault.
The interlocking balance retaining function switches regardless of sounding voice massage.

The interlocking balance retaining function is to be memorized even after power to the crane
has been turned OFF.

4. Temporary changing function of interlocking balance (Click

operation)
When interlocking operation with 2 “selector switches” thrown (2-interlocking operation) is
carried out with the radio control transmitter, each speed balance can be changed temporarily.

Click a “selector switch” for which faster speed is needed during 2-interlocking operation.
Operating speed related to the “clicked” switch becomes faster than that of other operation.
The more number of times a switch has been clicked, the faster the operation related to the
clicked switch becomes as opposed to against that of other operation relatively.

Turning OFF both “selector switches” on 2-interlocking operation releases the function to allow
them to return to previous conditions.

• Repeated clicks allow the other opera-
tion not to function in the end.
If this happened, release all the “selector
switches” once, or click the “selector
switch” for which operation is inactivat-
ed.
• When one of “selector switches” is
released during the clicking operation,

become faster.
• The clicking function is possible only
when in 2-interlocking operation.
It will not be applied to operation such
as of 3-interlocking and 4-interlocking.

5. Shock-less function
The system equips a “shock-less” function
allowing the crane to stop gently even when
the crane has been made an abrupt stop by
radio control transmitter.

Since the crane will not make an abrupt stop

against a sharp operation, it eases shock to
the crane and/or to the mounted vehicle, and
it is also effective to prevent the wire rope
from jumping up and a lifted cargo from
swinging when the hook has stopped wind-
ing-up.

CAUTION
★ Pay attention that the crane
makes a slight movement due to
shock-less function after the
radio control operation has been
stopped abruptly.

●Remarks
When making the crane a sudden
stop:
If the crane has to be made a sudden stop,
actuate the “selector switch” controlling
opposite function while the shock-less is
functioning.
(Do not pull the speed lever in this case.)
Otherwise, the shock-less function is
released to allow the crane to make a sud-
den stop.

When canceling the shock-less func-

tion:
If the shock-less function is unnecessary, it
can be activated/inactivated by the radio
control transmitter.

12-22
U-WAVE, Radio remote control device

In order to inactivate the shock-less function,

Hook Up/Down

“Down” with the “mode switch” depressed.
The shock-less will not be functioning.

In order to activate the shock-less function,

throw the “hook Up/Down” switch to “Up”
with the “mode switch” depressed.
The shock-less starts functioning.

When the shock-less function is active and the “mode indicator lamp” shows any of [ ], [ ],
[ ], [ ] and [ ], switching it to be inactive allows the figure indicated on the left to change to
[ ].
Switching the shock-less function to be active allows the mark [ ] indicated on the left to change to

lamp (over-wound condition), no change hap-
pens even after the shock-less function has
been switched.
When checking condition of the shock-less
function, remove the over-wound condition
by operation of lowering hook or retract-
ing boom.
Setting of shock-less function is to be mem-
orized after power to the crane has been
turned OFF.

Independent operation 6. Engine speed control func-

tion
The system equips a function controlling the
engine running at a suitable speed according
to operating condition of the crane.

The function helps save energy because it can

ease temperature rise of hydraulic oil and
restrict the unnecessary increase of engine
speed by controlling the engine to run at an
appropriate speed.
• On independent crane operation, it allows
Engine speed is restricted the engine speed not to be increased unnec-
essarily while the crane is operating func-

tions such as lowering boom, retracting
boom, swing C.C.W./C.W., and retracting
outriggers.
• The engine speed increases when the crane
operation has been switched from indepen-
dent to interlocking. (But no change in max-
imum engine speed.)
• The engine runs at a medium speed while
the outriggers are being extended and
retracted.
• When swinging the crane on independent
Engine speed icreases operation by controlling manual lever,
swinging speed may become faster when
the independent operation is switched to

◆3. How to store hook

WARNING
★ Since releasing the hook from
its stored position allows it to
swing, it may cause an accident
if a person stands under or in
front of the hook.
In addition, excessive pulling of
the “speed lever” increases the
hook to swing that is dangerous
so that do not pull the lever
extremely.
★ It is strictly prohibited to oper-
ate the crane with the “storing
hook” as this is very dangerous.
★ Retract the boom fully and
lower it to its extreme to store it.
★ Do not operate the “storing
hook” with any one of control
levers at the same time.
This may cause an incorrect
action and/or a breakdown of the
crane.
★ Pay attention that the manual
control lever for “hook Up/Down”
moves “Up” side when retracting
the hook.

CAUTION
★When the engine is to be stopped for a long period of time, be sure to
turn OFF the engine key on the side of crane.
If the engine is being stopper by radio control transmitter for a long
time during which power to transmitter is turned ON, shortening the life
of batteries results.
★The radio control system carries out system diagnosis automatically
every time when power is turned ON.
Do not operate the crane while the system diagnosis is being carried
out.
(Do not touch any one of switches and levers during this period.)
If the crane is operated during system diagnosis, voice message,
“Beep, Service remote control, Service remote control”, sounds and the
crane is turned into inoperable conditions.
If this happened, depress the reset switch in the control box to carry
out system diagnosis again.

◆6. How to operate when engine speed

becomes unstable due to low temper-
ature
When in winter season or when temperature
is too low, the engine speed may become
unstable as viscosity of hydraulic oil increas-
es.
In this case, switch the system to “low tem-
perature operation mode” to allow the engine
speed to be stable.

Slewing C.C.W/C.W switch 1. Switching to low temperature

operation mode

●Remarks
When switching it to low temperature opera-
tion mode, operation of the “store hook”
switch before the “swing C.C.W./C.W.”
selector switch has been actuated may allow
voice message, “Ping-pong, Secure lifting
hook, Secure lifting hook”, to be issued.

2. Resetting low temperature operation mode

Depress the “store hook” switch with the “swing C.C.W./C.W.” switch turned to “C.W.”.
Indication of “mode indicator lamp” changes to [ ] and voice message “Ping-pong,
Change control mode, Change control mode”, is issued.
(Indication will not change if the “mode indicator” is showing [ ], [ ], or [[ ].)

In addition, the low temperature operation mode is to be reset automatically, even when
operation illustrated above has not been carried out, after approx. 10 minutes from the time
when it has been switched to the “low temperature operation mode”.
The voice message “Ping-pong, Change control mode, Change control mode”, is issued
at this time.

●Remarks
Response of the crane functions becomes slower when operated on low temperature operation
mode.
In normal case, operate the crane after warming-up for a while to raise temperature of hydraulic
oil.

Under extreme low temperature, crane operation may still be unstable even after the system has
been switched to the “low temperature operation mode”.
In this case take measures such as by carrying out warm-up operation to raise temperature of
hydraulic oil or by using hydraulic oil suitable for extreme low temperature.

CAUTION
★If viscosity of hydraulic oil is too high at a low temperature, exces-
sive load will be imposed on hydraulic pumps which may cause dam-
age to them.
In order to avoid this, be sure to carry out warming-up to raise tempera-
ture of hydraulic oil to an appropriate temperature to operate the crane.

◆7. Closing crane operation

After completion of the crane work, turn OFF
the starter switch to shut off power to the
crane after the boom, the hook, and the out-
riggers have been stored in their respective
positions.

◆2. Battery to be employed

a size AAA battery: 4 pieces
Use alkaline-type battery.
(Manganese-type battery has a short service
life.)

●Remarks
About the use of rechargeable bat-
teries
Although UNIC recommends the use of alka-
line type battery in the radio control transmit-
ter, other rechargeable batteries such as nick-
el-hydrogen type and nickel-cadmium type
may also be used.
Pay attention to the following when a
rechargeable battery is used:
• Message suggesting replacement of battery
may not be issued.
Be sure to prepare alkaline-type batteries
when operating the crane through radio
remote control device because rechargeable
batteries tend to become inoperable sudden-
ly.
• In some cases, service life of rechargeable
battery may become shorter than that of
alkaline battery in accordance with the
capacity.
• There is a disadvantage such as memory
effect comparing with alkaline-type battery.

CAUTION
★Do not mix up batteries of old
and new, of different manufactur-
ers, or of different types.

i Daily checks, trouble inspection

◆1. Daily checks
For cranes with radio remote control device, you are requested to inspect your crane for follow-
ing items as well as carry out daily checks on your crane (read operator’s manual of UNIC
crane concerned for detail).
Check that;
1. Each enclosure of transmitter, receiver, and control box has not been damaged.
If the enclosure has been damaged, repair it immediately because moisture and/or dust
entered through the break may cause a failure to electronic parts inside and cause incorrect
operation of the crane concerned.
2. The stay on the transmitter has not been broken or deformed.
The transmitting antenna is built in the stay.
If break or remarkable deformation is found in the stay, replace or repair it as soon as possi-
ble because it may cause radio interference.
3. Switches and control levers on the radio control transmitter make a smooth operation.
Using the remote control transmitter with dust, dirt, and mud being stuck on may lead to
failure especially in operation of switches and/or control levers.
Wipe them off with a piece of cloth after use.
If any of the selector switches fails to function correctly due to contamination, ask a UNIC
authorized service shop for cleaning.

CAUTION
★Never try disassembly or alteration of the transmitter, the receiver,
and the control box.
★Electric system is very sensitive to moisture.
Do not wash the transmitter, the receiver, and the control box with water
directly.

● Receiving lamp
When the receiver is received radio wave transmitted from the transmitter correctly, it blinks in
green.
● Interference lamp
If it lights in red when power to the transmitter is turned OFF, it indicates that the receiver is
receiving radio wave from outside.
If it lights in red when power to the transmitter is turned OFF, response time during radio con-
trol operation may become longer to a certain extent.
When radio control operation is initiated from the state where the power to transmitter is turned
OFF, the “interference lamp” may light for a moment but it is not a fault.
● Error lamp
It blinks in red when something is wrong with the radio control transmitter/receiver.
It also blinks in red when batteries in the transmitter have been run out.

◆3. Trouble inspection

If a trouble is found in the radio remote control device, check the following then contact the
nearest UNIC authorized service shop.
Check if:
① Crane is controlled by manual levers.
② The “power lamp” on the transmitter lights. If it blinks or does not light, replace the batter-
ies in the transmitter.
③ Switches and control levers on the transmitter make a correct operation.
④ The stay on the transmitter (antenna is built in) has not been broken or deformed.

◆4. How to make an emergency stop

In case of emergency such as that the crane does not stop operation or the engine will not return
to idling speed even if no crane operation has been made, depress the “EMERGENCY” switch
on the switch panel.
This makes the crane and the engine to stop operation forcibly.

WARNING
★When releasing the emergency stop switch, release it while no crane
operation is being carried out.
Releasing the emergency stop switch while operating the crane allows
the crane to make an abrupt movement that is very dangerous.

Emergency stop switch

●How to make an emergency stop
for the crane and reset it
Depress the “EMERGENCY” stop switch on
the switch panel of crane body.
The switch is held pushed in allowing the
engine to stop operation.
When the switch is held pushed in, the engine
cannot be re-started.
Rotate the emergency stop switch clockwise
in arrow direction to return to its original
state to release the switch.

●Remarks
When the emergency stop is reset by turn-
ing the “EMERGENCY” stop switch
clockwise after the crane has been stopped
by depression of “EMERGENCY” stop
switch, the engine speed may increase in a
moment which is not abnormal.

When the crane is operated with the

“EMERGENCY” stop switch held pushed
in, voice message, “Beep. Service remote
Service remote control” may be issued or
the mode indicator lamp may show incor-
rect indication.

r Replacement of wire
rope (for winding-up)
Wire rope is active service should be visually
inspected once every working day. A thorough
inspection of such rope should be made at least
once a month and dated records kept as to rope
condition.
Replace the rope according to the following stan-
dard.

1. In running ropes, six randomly distributed

broken wires in one rope lay, or three broken
wires in one strand in one rope lay. (A rope lay is
the length along the rope in which one strand
makes a complete revolution around the rope.)

2. In pendants or standing ropes, evidence of

more than one broken wire in one lay.

3. Abrasion, scrubbing, or peening causing loss

of more than 1/3 of the original diameter of the
outside wires.

4. Evidence of severe corrosion.

5. Severe kinking, severe crushing, or other dam-
age resulting in distortion of the rope structure.

6. Evidence of any heat damage from a torch or

arc caused by contact with electrical wires.

7. Reduction from nominal rope diameter of

more than 1/64 in. (0.4 mm) for diameters 13/32
in. (10.0 mm);
Marked reduction in diameter indicates deteriora-
tion of the core, resulting in lack of proper sup-
port for the load carrying strands. Excessive rope
stretch or elongation may also be an indication of
internal deterioration.

8. Evidence of “bird caging” or other distortion

resulting in some members of the rope structure
carrying more load than others.

9. Noticeable rusting or development of broken

wires in the vicinity of attachments.
(Note: If this condition is localized in an operat-
ing rope and the section in question can be elimi-
nated by making a new attachment, this can be
done rather than replacing the entire rope.)

The crane employs ball bearings as the slew-
ing bearing.
Be sure to lubricate the bearings as insuffi-
cient lubrication may cause it to make unusu-
al noise.
Grease the nipples while slewing the boom
once a month for moderate operation, and
once a week for heavy-duty operation.
