indications on the R-Touch and acoustically by warning sounds. Some functions may
be blocked in case of hazardous situations.
Malfunctions, causes and remedies are described on the R-Touch, chapter 6.
8.1 Safety circuits
The machine provides the greatest possible safety to operator and materials. Safety
switches in the driver's cabin block individual functions of the machine when the oper-
ator leaves the cabin. If any function cannot be executed from within the driver's cabin
or if switches are blocked, then first check if the driver's cabin door, bunker door and
the engine compartment cover are closed.
If the malfunction cannot be remedied, then refer to the respective sections of this
operating manual for the components concerned respectively non-functional com-
ponents. You will find hints on safety circuits and possible reasons for a malfunction
there.
WARNING
Hazard of extreme injuries or damage to the machine.
– Never defeat safety installations, safety locks or safety circuits. This may have the
consequence of extreme injuries.
– Never perform functional tests, if you are not fully informed about the scope and
consequences of such a test.
– Make sure, that when searching for the cause of the malfunction respectively when
remedying malfunctions, in case of need, a second, reliable person is present,
who is familiar with the machine to such an extent, that he is able to shut down the
machine immediately, when a hazard threatens.
– In case of the slightest doubt, call in specialist personnel trained accordingly or
enquire with service personnel from ROPA.
– Do not perform any repairs on the machine if you do not have the required special-
ist knowledge and experience.
If you are able to contact your dealer or the manufacturer by radio or cell phone, then
more extensive fault diagnostics is possible using specific diagnostic menus on the
R-Touch. For safety reasons, individual menus are blocked for the operator. In case
of improper handling, hazards to life may occur, or the machine may be heavily dam-
aged, which would cause costly repairs.
