Be aware of the contents in "OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS" and the handling and
method of working of the remote control system. See next section "Operating
instructions".
4.2 Operating instructions
Before operation, the driver must make himself aware of the contents in the "SAFETY
REGULATIONS" for remotely controlled cranes. The driver must be aware of the
function of all manoeuvre levers and switches.
1. For remote control: Place the central unit operational mode switch into REMOTE.
2. For manual/emergency operation: Place the central unit operational mode switch
into MANUAL. Power is now only supplied to the dump valve and the crane's
functions can be manoeuvred directly from the valve's hand levers.
3. Twist up the emergency stop switches on the crane and on the control unit.
4. Cable operation: Connect the control cable between the control unit and the
central unit (crane).
5. Radio operation: Place a newly charged battery in the control unit's battery
holder.
6. Press and the red LED will light continuously.
7. The system is now ready for operation. The driver must be aware of all
manoeuvre lever/joystick and switch functions before operation is started.
8. To switch off or to activate the stop function the stop function switches on the
control unit and the emergency stop on the crane should be pressed down. The
stop function on the control unit should always be in the depressed position
whenever the unit is not in use. This applies even for short stoppages, for
example, if the driver wishes to move.
9. To ensure a long life for the control unit and for reasons of safety, the control
unit must be kept locked in the cab. The control unit should be regularly wiped
off with a damp cloth for example.
