Joab EcoDrive LA, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 31 / 89

The operator must be fully aware of the environment and area around the vehicle
before operating this function. Failure to do so can lead to serious injury or damage.
To deactivate this function, either press the top button on the control-stick (the button
without a small raised dot on it) or use the control-stick and tip up.
To activate this function, simply press and hold the top button (the button without a small raised
dot on it) on the control-stick while pushing the control-stick fully forward for two seconds, until
the icon
for the lowered status begins to blink – ETM is then activated and the body will
lower itself. See also "Control Stick Function", on page 17 .
Friction Free Drive - FFD
Automatic frictionless operation of the body. Built-in rollers in the auxiliary-lifting-arms (see
"Hooklift Components", on page 3 ) assist the loading of a body and allow it to roll smoothly for-
wards. This reduces the stress placed on the hook-lift. To activate FFD, simply press the FFD
icon
.
The FFD function must be de-activated when loading a body that has dowel pins.
These are used to anchor the body onto the vehicle, such as a crane lift body. If FFD
is active, damage will occur when loading a body with dowel pins. Make sure that
FFD is
de-activated . It is possible to have FFD set so that it is deactivated at every
system start. Contact JOAB service for more information about this.
Tipper Safety System - TSS
The auxiliary-lifting-arms are controlled using weight based damping. Integrated flow dis-
tribution components ensure that the body is tipped and lowered safely. The auxiliary-lifting-
arms retrieve and move the body to its loaded position in a smooth and precise manner.
Trailer Safety Tipper - TST
TST monitors the speed of the vehicle. If it detects that the vehicle is moving faster than 50
km/h with a raised tipper on the trailer, the tipper will automatically be lowered. The system
also ensures that there is no pressure in the trailer tipper's outlet on the vehicle.The valve's
position is also monitored for increased safety.
With TST, a trailer can be lowered even if the hydraulic pump is switched off. There is no need
to turn the pump on.
For this function to work the trailer must have a connected body builder CANBUS so that the
speed of the trailer can be obtained.
Trailer Fast Lowering System - TFS
The trailer tipper function is up to 50% faster when in lowering mode. Optimized hydraulics
allow the oil to flow faster. This in turn allows the tipper to lower faster. There is no return flow
that would otherwise restrict the lowering function.
