5.1.2. Platform positioning movements
To carry out all movements other than drive, use
proportional levers
B , C , D, E, G and switches I and
L.
To achieve the movement it is necessary to carry out
the following operations in sequence:
a) Press the dead-man pedal located on the
platform; the green led ZA will light up
steady indicating its enabling.
b) Within 10 seconds from the green steady led
lighting up set the proportional joystick
control or the desired switch in the direction
shown by the serigraphy on the control
panel.
Fig. 6
NOTE: before activating the proportional joystick control or the desired switch the dead-man pedal must be pressed.
Release the “dead - man” pedal and the manoeuvre will be immediately stopped.
On standard machines, electric (E) and electro-diesel (ED) versions, all platform position controls can
be executed only individually and are interlocked with drive and steering controls.
On standard machines, 4 wheel drive version (RTD), all platform position controls can be executed only
individually whilst the turret orientation can be executed together with the drive and steering control
with platform lowered (booms down, telescopic boom retracted, jib at a height from +10 and -70°).
On machines with simultaneous controls (OPTIONAL), in all three versions (electric E, electro-diesel E/D
and 4 wheel drive diesel RTD) the platform position controls can be executed simultaneously (unless
otherwise indicated), and the turret orientation can be executed together with the drive and steering
controls with platform lowered (booms down, telescopic boom retracted, jib at a height from +10° to -
70°).
5.1.2.1. Pantograph (lower boom) lifting/lowering
To lift/lower the pantograph (lower boom), use the proportional lever B.
Set the proportional lever B forward for lifting or backward for lowering.
5.1.2.2. Upper boom lifting/lowering
To lift/lower the upper boom, use the proportional lever
C .
Set the proportional lever C forward for lifting or backward for lowering.
5.1.2.3. Jib lifting/lowering
To lift/lower the JIB, use the proportional lever
D .
Set the proportional lever D forward for lifting or backward for lowering.
