To move the crawler forward, push the joystick away from you. Continuing to hold the joystick forward, or
pushing it further, will increase the crawler
’s speed until it reaches its maximum speed.
To slow the crawler, pull the joystick towards you. Holding it down will slow it down more quickly.
Note: If you continue to pull the joystick towards you when the crawler has stopped, it will reverse. The
crawler will automatically stop when the cable counter reaches 0.0.
Reversing
Caution: When reversing or retrieving the crawler, ensure that the cable is retrieved at the same or
higher speed than the crawler. Failure to do so may cause the crawler to get tangled in the cable and
stall.
Use the crank handle for winding in the cable, see
page 156
. Use the manual wind layering handle to
ensure the cable is laid evenly in the drum.
Note: A message will flash on your screen warning of a cable hazard. This message will not be recorded
to video.
Pull the joystick towards you to reverse the crawler. Increase the speed by continuing to pull it or by
pulling it further towards you. Decrease the speed by pushing it forwards.
