Remote Throttle Installation
The remote throttle can be installed in the superstructure cab or operated by ground personnel.
If installed in the cab, the hydraulic hose is routed out of the cab via a hole drilled in the lower
left hand front of the superstructure cab. The hydraulic hose of the remote throttle is then
connected to the throttle valve whip line quick connect fitting on the impact hammer. The
hydraulic hose connection is located near the fuel pump and is labeled "THROTTLE
CONNECTION."
If superstructure cab mounting is desired, perform the following procedure to install the remote
throttle in the superstructure cab:
a.
Ensure the remote throttle is filled with automatic transmission fluid Dexron II/III or
equivalent. If necessary fill via the fill plug.
b.
Remove the hydraulic hose from the remote throttle by disconnecting it at the quick
connect fitting near the pressure gauge.
c.
Using the remote throttle mounting holes and remote throttle bracket (with the
bracket over the cylinder portion of the remote throttle) as a template, drill four
appropriately sized holes for self-tapping screws in the crane superstructure cab,
above the door.
d.
Align the two holes on the remote throttle with the holes at the mounting location
and secure with two self-tapping screws.
e.
Place the remote throttle bracket over the cylinder portion of the remote throttle
and secure with two self-tapping screws.
f.
Locate an appropriately sized hole (or drill) at the lower left hand front of the
superstructure cab for routing the hydraulic hose into the cab.
CAUTION
If a new hole is drilled, be sure to file edges to prevent damage to the
hydraulic hose.
g.
Being careful not to pinch or cut the hydraulic hose in the hole, route the proper
end of the hydraulic hose into the superstructure cab, over the dash, and to the
remote throttle. Connect the hydraulic hose to the quick connect fitting near the
pressure gauge of the remote throttle.
Perform the following procedure to connect the remote throttle to the impact hammer for impact
hammer operation:
a.
If the remote throttle was not installed in the superstructure cab, ensure the remote
throttle is filled with automatic transmission fluid Dexron II/III or equivalent. If
necessary fill via the fill plug.
b.
Route the remote throttle hydraulic hose to the impact hammer and connect to the
throttle valve whip line quick connect fitting labeled "THROTTLE CONNECTION."
c.
Tie one end of the 40-foot (12.2 m) rope suspended from the pulley (connected
with the 15-inch anchor bungee to the hydraulic hose reel on the crane boom) to
the remote throttle hydraulic hose. Pull the other end of the rope to raise the
remote throttle hydraulic hose until it will not interfere with pile driving operations.
Secure the loose end of the rope to the spotter base attached to the crane
superstructure.
