Rotating the dial in the increase direction (clockwise)
will start the machine travel in the desired direction
and will increase travel speed if the machine is already
moving. Rotating the dial in the decrease direction
(counterclockwise) will reduce the travel speed and will
stop the machine at 0% travel speed.
Starting and stopping of the vibrators is also controlled
by the variable speed control dial. The vibrators will
stop operating below 5% and will begin operation
above 5% travel speed. The travel speed percentage
(%) is shown on the bottom center of the Run Menu
(see run menu description later). Press the center
switch on the dial to return the travel speed to 0%
and cause the vibrator and travel systems to stop
operation.
