8 - ATTACHMENTS AND OPTIONAL EXTRA
1 - 25
PROVISION FOR MIXING BUCKET CONTROL
The provision for mixing bucket control may be of 2 types depending on the distributor fitted to the machine:
- if the machine is fitted with levers, the mixing bucket is operated using control lever (2) (configuration 1)
- if the machine is fitted with a joystick, the mixing bucket is operated using the joystick (1) (configuration 2)
The 2 options available are analysed separately below; cross-check your machine to verify which configuration applies and
refer to the relative section for the operating instructions.
- CONFIGURATION 1
OPENING THE PROPELLER HOUSING
Press the button (A) and move the lever (2) to position "L"; when the guard is
completely open, release the button.
CLOSING THE PROPELLER GUARD
The propeller guard will close automatically when the mixing bucket is rotated
upwards.
PROPELLER ROTATION
Place the lever (2) in position (L) and hold it there.
WARNING! If the button (A) is pressed and the lever (2) is in position "L", when the bucket is rotated upwards,
the safety device prevents propeller rotation. If the machine remains in this condition, the oil may overheat.
Propeller rotation with the guard open is only allowed when loading inert material, operating from the cab and using
the bucket as a loader.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE CONCRETE DISCHARGE HATCH
Activate propeller rotation first and then the discharge using the remote control supplied (see relative paragraph in the
equipment manual).
- CONFIGURATION 2
To use the mixing bucket correctly on a machine equipped with the optional
joystick, refer to the following instructions:
OPENING THE PROPELLER HOUSING
Press the button (R) and turn the RH thumb-wheel into position "G"; when the
guard is completely open, release this button.
CLOSING THE PROPELLER GUARD
The propeller guard will close automatically when the mixing bucket is rotated
upwards.
PROPELLER ROTATION
Turn the RH wheel into position (G) and hold it there
WARNING! If the button (R) is pressed and the RH thumb-wheel is turned to position "G", when the bucket is
rotated upwards, the safety device prevents propeller rotation. If the machine remains in this condition, the oil may
overheat.
Propeller rotation with the guard open is only allowed when loading inert material, operating from the cab and using
the bucket as a loader.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE CONCRETE DISCHARGE HATCH
Activate propeller rotation first and then the discharge using the remote control supplied (see relative paragraph in the
equipment manual).
