To move the platform (ascents, descents,
rotations) use the joysticks (3), (4) (5), and the
switches (6), (7).
If you are in a condition in which the platform
movement commands are available (see
indications of the LEDs), once the commands have
been activated using the START button (17), it is
possible to command the movement of the
platform as indicated in the following paragraphs.
5.1.4.3.1 Ascent / Descent of the main arm.
To carry out the ascent / descent manoeuvre of the main arm, use the proportional joystick (3) by
operating it forward to obtain the ascent, or backwards to obtain the descent. The command is
proportional, so it is possible to modulate the manoeuvre speed by operating the joystick more or less in
depth.
The up / down command of the main arm can be commanded simultaneously with:
- Turret rotation (joystick 5);
- Extension or retraction of the telescopic arm (joystick 4);
- Only for JIBBI 12xx and JIBBI 16xx: Up or down of the jib (switch 6).
5.1.4.3.2 Rotation of the turret.
To carry out the turret rotation manoeuvre, use the proportional joystick (5) by operating it to the right
to obtain counterclockwise rotation, or to the left to obtain clockwise rotation. The command is
proportional, so it is possible to modulate the manoeuvre speed by operating the joystick more or less in
depth.
The turret rotation command can be commanded at the same time as:
- Ascent or descent of the main arm (joystick 1);
- Extension or retraction of the telescopic arm (joystick 4);
- Only for JIBBI 12xx and JIBBI 16xx: Up or down of the jib (switch 6).
In the TRANSPORT position, the turret rotation control stops automatically when it reaches the central
position (0° +/- 2°), in order to enable the TRACKS NARROWING command. To continue with the
manoeuvre, the proportional joystick (5) must be released and reactivated.
5.1.4.3.3 Extension / retraction of the telescopic arm.
To carry out the telescopic arm extension / retraction manoeuvre, use the proportional joystick (4) by
operating it forward to extract the arm, or backwards to retract the arm. The command is proportional,
so it is possible to modulate the manoeuvre speed by operating the joystick more or less in depth.
The telescopic arm extension / retraction control can be controlled simultaneously with:
- Ascent or descent of the main arm (joystick 1);
- Turret rotation (joystick 5);
