(2) When the mode indicator lamp of the control unit displays an error number
The mode indicator lamp of the control unit displays indications as are shown in the figure to the right according to the operational conditions. If the mode indicator lamp displays the indications not listed in the figure to the right, the radio-control system has a problem. Take an appropriate measure according to the following table.
If more than two problems occur, each error number flashes in turn. If the normal operation is not restored even after the measures in the following table are
taken, quickly stow the crane. Then, have the crane and radio-control system inspected/repaired at the nearest TADANO distributor or dealer.
Error
Trouble and measure number 13 After releasing your fingers from the switch of the transmitter and speed control
lever, turn on the power of the transmitter.
If the above does not restore the normal operation, the radio-control operation
is impossible. Change to the manual operation and operate the crane. 30-33 After the operation lever that corresponds to the error number is manually
returned to the neutral position, check if the error number disappears. When the
mode indicator lamp displays “L1” and when the error number does not
reappear after operation is started, the operation can be continued.
If the operation lever cannot be returned to the neutral position or if the error
number does not disappear, the radio-control operation of the part that has a
problem is not possible. Change to the manual operation and then operate the
crane.
Warning
It is dangerous to make other operations when the operation lever of the part that has a problem cannot be returned to the neutral position, since this would cause the part that has a problem to move at the same time. Do not make such operations.

First change to the manual operation. Then, after the operation lever that corresponds to the error number is manually returned to the neutral position, change to the radio-control mode and check that the error number disappears. When the mode indicator lamp displays the normal number and when the error number does not reappear after operation is made, the operation can be continued. If the operation lever cannot be moved or if the error number does not disappear, then radio-control operation is impossible. Change to the manual operation and then operate the crane. “60”: Extension operation “62”: Winching operation “61”: Elevation operation “63”: Swing operation

Troubleshooting Guide
M038010E
Radio wave transmission is hindered under the following conditions, which may stop the crane operation. Take an appropriate measure according to the operational condition. If the appropriate measure does not improve the situation, use the manual operation.
Operation example
Distance between the transmitter and reception unit is too far.
Operation is made near the noise-generating source.
M00247
Operation is made in a place with an intensive radio wave interference causing noise to the radios and to television screens.
A large metal cargo is lifted with the crane. Or, there are obstacles between the transmitter and reception unit such as wire netting or metal doors.
Appropriate measure
・
Too large a distance between the transmitter and reception unit may not only hinder the radio wave transmission but also increase noise influences. Normally, make the operations within the operating radius of the crane.
・When a noise generating device such as
a revolving light, electric fan or vehicle’s air conditioner is used nearby, the radio-control operation is influenced by the source. Turn off the noise-generating device when it is possible to refrain from using it. Since a motorcycle also generates a noise, pay attention to motorcycles passing through.
・Approach the transmitter to the reception
unit and operate the transmitter.
・Metal products between the transmitter
and reception unit hinder the radio wave transmission. Move yourself to the location where the reception unit can be seen and then operate the transmitter.

Daily Inspection
Inspect the radio-control system at the time of the pre-operational inspection of the main unit of the crane.
(1) Is the case of the transmi tt er or con t rol
unit damaged? Do switches or rubber parts of the transmitt er have an y crack or flaw?
Any damage on the case or any crack or flaw on the rubber parts may allow water or dust to enter inside, causing electronic circuit problems or malfunction of the crane.
(2) Do the motion selection switches and
speed control lever move smoothly?
Adhered dust or dirt may give unfavorable impact on operations of the motion selection switches or speed control lever, causing operation failures or malfunctions of the crane.
(3) Is the fixing screw of the transmitter’s
battery cover securely tightened?
A loose fixing screw of the transmitter’s battery cover may allow water or dust to enter inside, causing electronic circuit problems or malfunction of the crane.
(4) Is the cable between the control unit
and communication unit loose or damaged? Is the antenna of the communication unit damaged or loose?
If the connector of the cable or antenna is loose, a radio wave reaching distance may be reduced or the radio-control system may be subject to noises.
In addition, if the cable or antenna is damaged, the radio-control system may be subject to noises.
