Machine stop
5.5.1
Normal stop
In normal operating conditions:
-
By releasing the controls the operation is stopped. Stop occurs within a time limit set in the factory, which guarantees
smooth braking.
-
By releasing the (OPTIONAL) dead-man pedal located on the platform, the operation is immediately stopped. In the event
of an immediate stop, braking is sudden.
5.5.2
Emergency stop
Should it be necessary, the operator may immediately stop all machine functions from both platform and ground control
station.
From the platform control station:
-
By pressing the mushroom button on the control panel the machine is stopped.
-
By releasing the (OPTIONAL) “dead-man” pedal, the operation is immediately stopped. Due to the immediate stop,
braking is sudden.
From the ground control station:
-
By pressing the stop button on the ground control station, the machine (all models) and the heat engine (models “D”,
“E/D”; “E/B”) are stopped.
-
By pressing the power stop button (if available – “E” models), thus cutting out machine power (power circuit cut-out).
To resume the operations:
From the platform control station:
-
Turn the stop button of 1/4 turn clockwise.
From the ground control station:
-
Turn the stop button of 1/4 turn clockwise.
-
Pull the power circuit mushroom button (if available) to the outside until it locks in position to power the unit again.
5.5.3
Diesel engine stop
In order to stop the Diesel engine:
1)
From the platform control station:
-
Turn the starting key anticlockwise to "0" position.
-
Otherwise, press the mushroom button.
2)
From the ground control station:
-
Turn the starting key anticlockwise to position “0”.
-
Or release the key selector.
-
Otherwise, press the mushroom button.
Do not stop the engine when the r.p.m. is high. Before stopping the engine wait until the r.p.m. is at
the lowest.
