EMERGENCY STOPPING
• Only use emergency stops for emergencies. When an emergency stop has been pressed, do not restart the engine until it is safe
to do so. Pressing an emergency stop will stop the engine and machine.
• Be familiar with emergency stop locations. When emergency stops have been pressed turn the ignition key off (hydraulic
option) or turn off isolator (electric option). The emergency stops will now have to be physically disengaged by pulling or
twisting.
• Only when the machine is fully switched off and safe should you try to get to the root of the problem.
RESTART AFTER EMERGENCY START
• Ensure the problem is solved before starting the machine.
• Check all emergency stops are released.
• Restart the machine in the normal procedure.
SAFE TRACKING
• When travelling down a gradient, tracks should be driven sprocket first.
• Going up a gradient, the tracks should be driven forward.
• Machine should be parked on level ground that is suitable to support the weight of the machine.
• Track the machine every day for a short distance. This will reduce the risk of track seizure.
• Never track the machine if they are frozen to the ground or attempt to move the machine in any other way.
• Always clear the tracks of any surrounding debris.
• Do not track the machine without clearing the area.
• Do not attempt to move the machine if it is not possible to track it.
TRACKING WITH DOG LEAD REMOTE CONTROL
• Ensure the machine is clear of any obstacles before tracking
• Check that the dog lead is connected to the machine and the machine stop is not pressed
• Start the engine
• Push the two levers of the drive control up fully
• Switch the tracking switch (aux / track) on the handset to the track position. At this point the
safety siren will sound. There will be a short delay before the tracks will operate.
• You can now use the handset to track the conveyor
Please note that when the remote is not in use, the function controls should be left in neutral position.
