Robot 185 Operation
Driving
There are three control modes in the system to choose from. The mode selection is made by a three-
position mode switch (Mode).
When only tracks and outriggers need to be used, select the Drive mode from the mode switch position 3
(the lowest).
On the Drive mode, the left joystick (K1) steers the outriggers on the left and the left track. The right
joystick (K2) steers the outriggers on the right and the right track.
When the tracks and booms need to be used at the same time, select the Boom+Drive mode from the
mode switch position 1 (the highest).
On the Boom+Drive mode, the tracks are controlled with the rocker switch in the left joystick (K1). When
pressing the rocker switch down (K1B), both the right and the left tracks move backwards. When pressing
the rocker switch upwards (K1A), both the right and left tracks move forward. If the outriggers are raised
all the way up, the tracks can be moved faster by holding the joysticks tilted forward or backward. This
operation will raise the hydraulic pressure of lower carrier to its maximum (170 bar).
On the Boom+Drive mode the booms are controlled normally, but the tool control and Hold-function are
not in operation.
