RT AXLE LOCKOUT SYSTEM

The Axle lockout system is used to allow the rear axle to

air from the rod side goes in and out through an air breather
port on the side of the cylinder. This system allows the axle to
oscillate when the boom is not moved more than 10 degrees
from the travel position. If the axle does not hold in the blocked
position or oscillates when the upper structure is swung 20
degrees from the travel position, bleed the system. The system
only oscillates inside this 20 degree position to prevent
oscillation when boom is over side, causing possible tip over.

travel area on the manifold. Do not measure at the low point

ADJUSTMENT
With the cam plunger fully retracted, adjust valve position for
.005-.010 inches gap between the cam roller and the cam
travel area on the manifold. Do not measure at the low point
on the manifold.

Tighten and secure with nuts, washers, and cap screws.

OPERATION CHECK
For safe operation of the crane when operating on rubber, the
axle lockout valve should be checked daily as follows:

1. Place boom in travel position.


2. Drive one tire of the rear (oscillating) axle up on an eight
inch block.
3. Swing the retracted unloaded boom approximately 20
degrees from the center position.
4. Drive the crane off the block. If the tire remains in the up
position proceed with step (5). If the tire does not remain in
the up position readjust or replace lockout valve.
5. Allow crane to set for three to five minutes.
6. Observe the tire, it should remain in the up position.
7. Swing the crane back to the center position, the tire should
return to its original position. If not readjust or replace the
lockout valve and repeat this procedure.
