Moving forwards
To move the crawler forward, push the joystick away from you. Continuing to hold the joystick forward, or

To slow the crawler, pull the joystick towards you. Holding it down will slow it down more quickly.
Note: If you continue to pull the joystick towards you when the crawler has stopped, it will reverse. The
crawler will automatically stop when the cable counter reaches 0.0.
Reversing
Note: The crawler will automatically stop when the cable counter reaches
0.0. However, the crawler’s
momentum may cause it to roll a short distance beyond the 0.0 position. Please allow for this when you
deploy the camera and zero the distance counter.

drum operate independently. Manual driving gives you more control over the crawler and drum but can
increase the risk of jamming the cable around the crawler wheels, particularly if the crawler reverses
over the cable.
Manual retrieval with the crank handle
If necessary, use the crank handle to manually wind the cable back into the drum. Before you start,
disconnect the power lead to ensure that the system is not powered. The crank socket is located under
