AC GENERATOR
C A U TIO N
Do not use the AC GENERATOR unless the
hydraulic oil is over 70°F (21°C). The output
voltage of the generator depends on the
temperature of the hydraulic oil. Temperature
below 70°F (21°C) will cause dangerously low
output voltages that can burn out some kinds of
electrical equipment.
The hydraulically powered, 120 V ac generator
can be used anytime the TB100J engine is
running and the TB100J is completely stationary.
Turning the generator on stops all machine
movement.
Set the MACHINE/GENERATOR switch, on the
platform-control box, to GENERATOR and a total
of 2 kW, continuous duty, 120 V ac power is
available from the two electrical outlets under the
platform-control box or the one electrical outlet
on the end of the generator housing.
NOTE: To energize the two platform electrical
outlets, the power cord from the platform
outlets must be plugged into the receptacle on
the generator.
T
MOTION ALARM
The motion alarm emits a loud
...beep...beep...beep..., at ground level, anytime
the DRIVE/STEER controller is in FORWARD or
REVERSE. This alarm alerts people on the
ground that the TB100J is traveling along the
ground.

TOW KIT
D A N G ER
Improper towing can cause a TB100J to break
away from the towing vehicle. A “runaway”
TB100J can cause death or serious injury.
Do not tow a TB100J faster than 10 mph (16
km/hr). A TB100J can behave erratically
above 10 mph (16 km/ hr).
Check with the tow vehicle manufacture or
manufacturer's literature to be sure the
towing vehicle can safely tow and stop a
33,000 pound (15,000 kg) TB100J on the
steepest grade and type of surface you will
encounter. Remember, the TB100J does not
have brakes when it is towed.
When you tow the TB100J around a corner or
a curve do not turn so sharply that either of
the tow bar chains is pulled tight. If a chain is
pulled tight the steering mechanism might be
damaged or the tow vehicle and TB100J
might jackknife.
1. Remove the tow bar and tie rod weldment
from the storage cradles and lay them near the
front of the chassis.
2. Rotate the turntable until the counterweight is
to the side of the chassis.
D A N G ER
Death or serious injury can result from being
crushed between the counterweight and tow
vehicle. Do not attempt to attach the tow bar
to the tow vehicle unless the counterweight
is to the side.
3. Attach the tow bar to the towing lug with the
tow pin and snap pin.
4. Attach the tie rod weldment to the tow bar and
the right hand steering yoke.
5. Attach the two tow bar chains to the tie down
lugs.
6. Attach the ring-end of the tow bar to the tow
vehicle.
