7.3.12 Dead-man switch operation check
To check the dead-man switch operation:
▪ Set “drive” mode with selector L (figure 5-1).
▪ Move the joystick control forward and backward in sequence, WITHOUT PRESSING THE DEAD-MAN SWITCH.
▪ Check that the machine does not perform any movement.
▪ Set “drive” mode with selector L (figure 5-1).
▪ Hold down the dead-man switch for more than 10 seconds.
▪ With the switch pressed, move the joystick forward and backward in sequence.
▪ Check that the machine does not perform any movement.
If the device works properly, no machine operation is possible from the platform control panel unless you press the dead-man
switch beforehand. If this is pressed for more than 10 seconds and no operation is performed, all movements are disabled; to
operate the machine again, release the dead-man switch and press it again.
The condition of the switch is indicated by the green led H (figura 5-1):
▪ green led lit up steady control panel enabled
▪ green led lit up flashing control panel disabled
Check operation at least once a year.
