7.2 - Manoeuvring Skylifter/remote control unit
1.
The remote control unit has 4 manoeuvring keys and a joystick. All movements are speed-controlled
which means that the further you move the key from the central position, the faster the load moves.
Slow speed = small movement of key/joystick.
2.
The keys control the different movements shown in the photo above.
1 - Pivot (right/left) Forward pivots the load to the right - Back pivots the load to the left
2 - Tilt (forward/back) Forward tilts the load forward - Back tilts the load back
3 - Raise/lower Forward lowers the load - Back raises the load
4 - Rotate Forward rotates the load clockwise - Back rotates the load anti-clockwise
5 - Horizontal level The joystick moves the load to horizontal. The load follows the joystick's
movements.
When the load is horizontal, it can be shifted sideways. To activate, press button 6.
7.3 - Precision manoeuvring
Precision manoeuvring (at slow speed) can be activated stepwise, i.e. all manoeuvring speeds are reduced
further. There are three steps. To activate, press button 7. 1 x touch to the left reduces speed to step 1. 2 x
touches reduces speed to step 2 and 3 x touches reduces speed to step 3. To cancel speed reduction, touch
the same button once to the left.
The red lamp above button 6 flashes repeatedly (once, twice or three times according to indicate speed step
selected).
7.4 - Reversing the functions
The remote control unit is engineered to control movements as seen from the behind Skylifter. For example,
when the operator stands behind Skylifter, a movement to the right on the remote control unit moves the load
