Optional Remote Control EEC-0039 V1.1
Remote Control (Optional)
In order to maintain a safe machine, a regular function check of the
platform/radio control system is necessary. This check shall include verifying all safety
features are operational before using this system. Controls are equipped to be
connected to hard wired communication cable or be used as radio remote
controls.
Never allow anyone to operate the system until the operator has read all
instructions and has become completely familiar with the total remote control system. In
the event any unexplained, unpredicted, or incorrect operation occurs, immediately shut
down the complete system and investigate. This includes shutting down all electronics,
hydraulics, PTO’s and engines. Never resume operation unto the problem has been
corrected.
When not using the remote controls, switch the transmitter off by pressing the
Emergency Stop Button. Verify that the button locks itself in, and then make sure the
remote control power switch is switched to the off position. This will prevent inadvertent
operation of the aerial device by activation of the transmitter joysticks.
Operation
If the truck is running when the remotes are switched on, the truck engine will
shut off and the truck will need to be restarted using the remote controls. This can be
done by following the instructions found later in this section. This remote control system
is designed for use either single or multiple functions at once and is fully proportional.
See joystick and switch designations found in the transmitter section of this text for
specifics on operation of each joystick and switch.
