AUTO and manual modes
In AUTO mode the powered drum automatically manages the cable when the crawler moves. In manual
mode, the joystick controls either the tractor or the powered drum, whichever you have selected. This
means that in manual tractor mode, the tractor drives unassisted and the drum does not recall the cable.
Pearpoint recommends using AUTO mode as the drum and crawler operate in tandem and gives less
likelihood of driving over the cable.
To select AUTO mode, press the AUTO button, see below. To select manual tractor or manual drum
mode, press the relevant button, see below.
