5.1.2.4. Extension/retraction of the telescopic boom
To extend / retract the telescopic boom, use the proportional joystick E .
Set the proportional joystick E forwards for extension or backwards for retraction.
If you are using a machine with (OPTIONAL) concurrent controls, this operation is deactivated
while slewing the turret.
5.1.2.5. Turret slewing (rotation)
To slew the turret, use the proportional joystick G .
Set the proportional joystick G to the right for right rotation or to the left for left rotation.
Before carrying out this manoeuvre make sure to deactivate the mechanical lock device of the
turret, if any (see chapter 6 “ handling and transport ” ).
If you are using a machine with (OPTIONAL) concurrent controls, this operation is deactivated while
extending/retracting the telescopic boom.
If you are using a standard machine version, driving and steering controls can be operated at the
same time. However, due to the interlocking facility, the basket controls (lifting/lowering/ slewing)
will command their stopping too. This does not apply to Diesel versions with four driving wheels
(RTD). In this case, when the basket is DOWN (booms down, telescopic boom in, jib between +10°
and –70°) simultaneous steering-drive-rotation of the turret are possible to facilitate the handling of
machine also within narrow and confined spaces.
If you are using a machine equipped with (OPTIONAL) concurrent-controls, driving and steering can
be at the same time. However, due to the interlocking facility, the basket controls (lifting/lowering/
slewing) will command their stopping too. Concurrent driving, steering, and slewing (of the turret)
with the basket DOWN (booms down, telescopic boom in, jib between +10° and –70°) is possible for
all three machine variants (Electric, EDiesel, 4 driving wheels).
5.1.2.6. Basket rotation
To rotate the basket, use the switch l.
Set the switch I to the right for rotation to the right, or to the left for rotation to the left.
5.1.2.7. Basket levelling
The basket position levels out automatically. Should it be necessary to reset the correct level, use the switch
L .
Set the switch L to the left for levelling to the back, or to the right for levelling to the front.
Warning!! This operation can be carried out only when booms are completely lowered. No result is achieved if
these operations are carried out when the basket is lifted.
Both on standard machines and machines with (OPTIONAL) concurrent controls, basket level adjustment
cannot be done while performing any other operation.
