OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
joystick is moved in either direction (off center) a control
valve will be actuated, allowing telescoping in the desired
direction.
Boom Lift and Main Hoist Joystick (Right Hand
Joystick)
The Boom Lift (8) and Main Hoist (9) joystick is mounted on
the seat's right hand armrest. It is used control boom lift and
main hoist crane functions.
Boom Lift with Single Axis Joystick
The joystick handle closest to the cab seat will always be
used for the boom lift function. Pushing this handle forward
will lower the boom. Pulling back on this handle will raise the
boom. When the joystick is moved in either direction (off
center) a control valve will be actuated, allowing raising or
lowering of the boom in the desired direction.
Boom Lift with Dual Axis Joystick
Pushing this handle toward the right will lower the boom.
Pushing this handle to the left will raise the boom. When the
joystick is moved in either direction (off center) a control
valve will be actuated, allowing boom raise or lower in the
desired direction.
Main Hoist with Single Axis Joystick
The joystick handle closest right hand cab wall will be used
for the main hoist function. Pushing this handle forward will
let the hoist spool off cable and thus lowering the load.
Pulling back on this handle will cause the hoist to reel in the
cable thus raising the load. When the joystick is moved in
either direction (off center) a control valve will be actuated,
allowing hoisting in the desired direction.
Main Hoist with Dual Axis Joystick
Pushing this handle forward will let the hoist spool off cable
and thus lowering the load. Pulling back on this handle will
cause the hoist to reel in the cable thus raising the load.
When the joystick is moved in either direction (off center) a
control valve will be actuated, allowing hoisting in the desired
direction.
Swing Horn Button
The swing horn button (20) is located on the right side of the
swing joystick and is used by the operator to provide a
warning that the superstructure is rotating. Press in on the
button to sound the swing horn.
Telescope Pedal (Only if Auxiliary Hoist is Installed)
The telescoping foot pedal (3) is a bi-directional electronic
pedal that is mounted on the cab floor between the throttle
pedal (4) and the swing brake pedal (22). This pedal is only
installed when the crane is equipped with an auxiliary hoist.
Push down on the top of the pedal to extend the boom and
push down on the bottom of the pedal to retract the boom.

NOTE:
Main Hoist Speed Selector Switch
The three-position main hoist speed selector switch (10) is
located on the right armrest. Select the top of the switch for
high speed or the bottom of the switch for low speed.
Position the switch in the center position to OFF to disable
main hoist functions.
Auxiliary Hoist Speed Selector Switch (Optional)
The three-position auxiliary hoist speed selector switch (16)
is located on the left armrest. Select the top of the switch for
high speed and the bottom of the switch for low speed.
Position the switch in the center to OFF to disable auxiliary
hoist functions.
Hoist Rotation Indicators (Main and Auxiliary Hoist)
The hoist rotation indicators (35) are located on the top of the
main and auxiliary hoist joysticks. The indicator is
electronically driven by a sensor attached to the hoist. A
pulsating signal is sensed by the operator's thumb during
hoist operation.
Crane Function Switch
The crane function switch (37) is a two position (ON, OFF)
rocker switch located on the right side of the overhead
console.
Push the bottom of the switch to de-energize the pilot enable
solenoid. With this solenoid de-energized, main craning
functions (lift, hoist, swing & tele) are disabled. This will
prevent accidental operation of these craning functions such
as inadvertently bumping the joysticks.
Push the top of the switch to energize the pilot enable
solenoid and allow main craning functions (lift, hoist, swing &
tele).
NOTE:
Bubble Level Indicator
The bubble level indicator (5) is located on a bracket on the
right side of the cab. The indicator provides the operator with
a visual indication for determining the levelness of the crane.
Swing Brake Selector Switch
The swing brake selector switch (17) is located on the left
armrest. This two-position switch (ON/OFF) is used to
control a hydraulic valve that directs a regulated flow of
pressure to and from the swing brake. Push the top of the
switch to ON to apply the swing brake and push the bottom
of the switch to OFF to release the swing brake.

TMS800E13 OPERATOR MANUAL
If the crane does not have an auxiliary hoist
installed then telescoping will be controlled by the
left hand armrest joystick.
In addition pushing the top of the switch, the
operator must also be in the seat with the left
armrest down before the pilot enable solenoid will
be energized.
