 Changing RRC1 batteries:

When approximately 10% of battery capacity remains, the top LED lights red.

-  Remove the back of the radio control by unscrewing the 5 screws.

-  Replace the 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries with the correct polarity. 

 

Use alkaline batteries for optimal performance.

-  Screw the back of the radio control into place.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS 

As batteries contain fl ammable substances such as lithium or other organic 

solvents, they may cause heating, rupture or ignition.

WARNING! Do not recharge the batteries. Attempts to recharge may cause rupture or hazard-
ous liquids to leak, which will corrode the equipment. 

NOTE: Electronics and batteries must be physically separated before disposal. 

Make sure that electronics or batteries are not disposed of in household waste.

-  There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced with the incorrect type of battery.

-  Do not short circuit, disassemble, deform or heat batteries.

-  Keep batteries out of reach of children. If a child swallows a battery, seek immediate medical at-

 tention.

- When discarding batteries, insulate the + and - terminals of batteries with insulating/masking 

  tape. Do not put multiple batteries into the same plastic bag.

- When improperly disposed, batteries may short circuit, causing them to become hot, burst or 

 ignite.

- Store in a cool place. Keep batteries away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and high

  humidity. Do not throw batteries onto fi re.

3.  INSULATED FLEXIBLE HOSE

 

High pressure fl exible hoses are subject to a natural ageing process which can result 

   

in a reduction in performance potentially aff ecting safety of the operator. As a result 

   

their life span is limited. In order to ensure safe use of their units, Cembre recommends 

replacing the hose within 10 years from the date printed on the fi ttings. 
-  Before using the pump always check the integrity of the fl exible hose and the quick couplers 
  making sure there are no abrasions, cuts, deformations or swellings. 
-  Keep the fl exible hose away from naked fl ames and sources of heat above 158°F (70°C).
-  The factory fi tted guards must be in place at each end of the fl exible hose.
-  Do not touch the fl exible hose when under pressure.
-  When using the pump, the fl exible hose must be uncoiled and laid out straight.

The standard fl exible hose is 33 ft (10 m) long. It is used to deliver oil under pressure, generated 

by the pump, to the cutting head and as an insulating element between the head and the pump. 

The insulated fl exible hose is completely fi lled with an insulating oil with dielectric properties 

which insulate the pump from the cutting head

  The working range of the cutting head is 33 ft from the pump; this distance allows the 

 

proper communication between the head and the pump. 

 

In case longer insulated fl exible hoses are used and the pump is kept outside of the 

manhole, it is possible that the wireless blade travel sensor signal will not reach the pump.
