To access the SWING AND WORK AREA 
ALARMS from the main working screen, press 
the OPERATOR ALARM push button (item 24)  
2 times. 

The Information Screen will show the current 
status of the Swing and Work Area Alarms. 

There are 4 separate operator alarms, all 
controlled by push buttons (items 25, 27, 28, 
and 29). Each one of these push buttons relates 
to the alarm to which it points. 

 

Each push button operates as a toggle switch. If 
the alarm to be set is OFF, pressing the push 
button will turn the alarm ON. If the alarm to be 
set is ON pressing the push button will turn the 
alarm OFF. 

When Operator Alarms are set, the light in the 
push button (item 24) will be illuminated. 

Return to the main screen by pressing the 
OPERATOR ALARM push button (24).
