6.1.1 BOSS safety system
The BOSS safety system protects the operator in close proximity to
the machine. For this purpose, the machine is surrounded by two
spherical electromagnetic safety fields.
The safety fields only protect the operator with the remote control
associated with the machine (same system numbers). Other per-
sons or unrelated remote controls or objects in the danger zone
are not protected.
If the machine moves directly towards the operator, the machine
stops immediately when the front protective field is entered. To
continue driving, the safety field must be left or the machine moved
in the opposite direction of travel.
If the machine moves away from the operator, the operator can
enter the rear safety field a short distance before the machine is
stopped. To continue driving the safety field must be left.
If the operator is in the middle between the machine halves in both
safety fields, both travel directions of the machine are blocked.
The operator must be familiar with the size of the safety fields and
check the function of the safety device at each start-up
