10 Emergency Operations
10.1 Recovery Options
The normal method of recovery is available when the machine engine is driving the hydraulic pump and
the cab controls are available. Follow the instructions in this manual for normal operations, detailed
depending upon which mode of operation is being used.
If the electrical systems have failed, or the engine has failed (e.g. run out of fuel) then the boom may
only be returned to its stowed position using the Battery Driven Pump.
There are 2 methods of emergency recovery of the machine both of which use the cab controls. In order
of preference these are:
•
Machine Engine
•
Battery Driven Pump.
To use these systems, the safety systems must be overridden using the RCI Over-ride key switch in the
systems bay highlighted in Red on Figure 3.
