5.1.1.1. Drive
Once the operations in paragraph 5.1.1 have been carried out, to
achieve the drive movement (tracks control), perform the following
operations in sequence:
Press “dead-man” button A on the control panel. The green led
ZB will light up steady;
Within 2 seconds, operate the proportional levers H and O
simultaneously in the same direction and with the same intensity
to get the straightforward direction or with different intensity to
steer the machine as shown in figure.
Fig. 9
Drive controls are of proportional type; it is therefore possible to adjust movement speed by means of the relative proportional
levers. To avoid sudden shakes during movements, it is advisable to operate the proportional levers gradually.
WARNING!!
The operator on the cage is not allowed to carry out translation and stabilization operations. For these
operations the operator has to get on the ground and control the machine at a safety distance.
The translation operation is active only if green warning light ZC is on (turret is in central position) and green
warning lights ZA are off (no outriggers resting on the ground).
WARNING!!
Due to the limited width of the machine, to go up and down the steps, KEEP the machine perpendicular
compared to the obstacle. RISK OF OVERTURN.
DO NOT overcome steps higher than 10 cm. Reduce the obstacle height by using strong wooden boards and
pieces.
In case of drive on uneven surfaces and/or slopes a good practice is to open the outriggers by placing the
pads at about 20 cm from the ground to prevent the machine from overturning.
