Electrical system
The electrical system of the crawler is for the majority of components maintenance free.
15.8.1
Fuses and relays
The crawler is equipped with fuses and relays to protect and control the electrical system (see fig. 53 DH). In
case of malfunction or electrical power failure it is possible to reset the fuses by flipping the switch upward.
The relays can be manually controlled by pushing the button.
Furthermore, the system is equipped with a ground fault earth interrupter, in case a short circuit is made.
This is an automatic switch which will be re-activated as soon as the short circuit is resolved.
Pneumatic system
The pneumatic system in the crawler consists of a separate air compressor inside the power pack, with an
integrated air tank and regulator valve. The air tank is connected to the air gun in the working cabin.
15.9.1
Removing water from the air tank
Every 500 working hours remove the water from the air tank. This water accumulates as a result of
condensation in the air tank. This can be done by opening the small black screw located in the frame tube of
the compressor (this tube acts as air tank).
Levelling jacks
Once a month, lubricate the ball joints of the levelling jacks.
Use ball-bearing grease (for example Shell Darina or equivalent).
