INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE RADIOCONTROL
For telehandlers with RC radiocontrol
HOW TO USE THE RADIOCONTROL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- This radiocontrol consists of electronic and mechanical safety elements� Commands cannot come from another transmitting
unit because each radiocontrol uses unique internal coding�
p
If it is used improperly or incorrectly, there is a risk of danger to:
- The physical and mental health of the user or others.
- The telehandler and other neighbouring items.
Everyone working with this radiocontrol:
- Must be qualied in line with current regulations and therefore appropriately trained.
- Must follow this operating manual as closely as possible.
- The system is used to control the telehandler remotely via radio waves� Commands are also transmitted if the telehandler
is out of sight (behind an obstacle or a building for example), this is why:
• After stopping the telehandler and removing the key switch (only possible when it is stationary), always place the
transmitting unit in a safe, dry place�
• Before performing any installation, maintenance or repair work, always switch off power sources (in particular, electric
welding devices and electric head units on hydraulic distributors must be disconnected at each section)�
• Never remove or alter the safety devices (such as the hand-guard frame, key, emergency stop button, etc�)�
p
Never drive the telehandler if it is not continuously and perfectly within view of the operator!
- Before leaving the transmitting unit, the operator must make sure that it cannot be used by an unauthorized third person:
either by removing the key button from the transmitting unit or locking it in an inaccessible place�
- The user must ensure that the instruction manual is accessible at all times and that operators have read and understood it�
INSTRUCTIONS
- Take up position in a stable place with no risk of slipping�
- Before using the transmitting unit, make sure there is nobody within the working area�
- Only use the transmitting unit with its carrying device or installed correctly on the platform�
p
When you remove the transmitting unit, remove the accumulator and key button so that it cannot be used accidentally
or deliberately by anyone else.
PROTECTIVE DEVICES
- The telehandler will be immobilised within a maximum of 450 milliseconds (approx� 0�5 second):
• If the emergency stop button of the transmitting unit is pressed (50 milliseconds), or that of the telehandler�
• If the transmission distance of the radio waves is exceeded�
• If the transmitter is faulty�
• If an interfering radio signal is received from elsewhere�
• If the accumulator is removed from its housing in the transmitting unit�
• If the battery reaches the end of its autonomy�
• If the transmitting unit is switched off by turning the key switch to the off position�
- These protective devices are provided for the safety of personnel and property and must never be modified, removed
or bypassed in any way whatsoever!
- The hand-guard frame prevents external action on a manipulator (e�g� if the transmitting unit is dropped, or if the operator
leans on a guard-rail)�
- An electronic safety device prevents radio transmission from being initiated if the manipulators are not mechanically
and electrically at rest and if the internal combustion engine speed selector is not set to idle�
p
In an emergency, press the transmitting unit emergency stop button immediately; then follow the manual's
instructions (e 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS). TELEHANDLER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
