Two-Hand Safety System (optional)
In some jurisdictions, M
INIMAX
TM
vehicles having an optional tipper or crusher panel must be
equipped with a two-hand safety system. The purpose of this system, which comprises of two external
controls (a button/handle set or two buttons), is to protect the operator from injury.
The two-hand safety system ensures that the optional tipper/crusher panel becomes active only when
both external controls are used simultaneously. If one of the controls is released, the tipper/crusher
panel stops immediately. This minimizes the risk of the operator getting injured by the equipment.

tipper or the crusher panel, no matter if the M
