Section 6 — Operation • 55
Figure 6.14 — Left Hand Control Pod
A glide swing out of seat horn (refer to Figure 6.15) will
sound if the operator is not on the seat when the glide
swing is in the On mode. Never leave the operator’s
control station without deactivating the glide swing.
Figure 6.15 — Warning Horn Location
The glide swing hydraulic brake pedal (refer to Figure
6.16) is located on the left side of the operator’s control
station oor. The brake pedal is used to slow or stop
rotation motion. Braking is proportional to pedal engage-
ment. When the glide swing is on, but the brake pedal is
not engaged, hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake
release. Engaging the brake pedal actuates a control
valve to apply pressure to the swing brake override
section of the brake. This pressure applies the dynamic
braking required to stop unpowered rotation of the boom
and turntable structure.
