2.7.7 Dead man function
• The purpose of this function is to allow the machine to be
operated under special conditions such as loading the ma-
chine or working in partially covered trenches.
• The function can also be used when it is absolutely neces-
sary for the operator to operate the machine even though
they are in the protected zone. To operate the machine,
visual contact between the controller and the operator is
required, otherwise no signal transmission will occur.
• The function is only active during both buttons are pressed
(9).
• Pressing and holding the buttons activates the acoustic sig-
nal and the beacon of the machine.
• The stop zone is the area at a distance of 0–0.5 m from the
sensor (10), not from the machine frame! The stop zone is
still active regardless of the settings and functions of the
machine.
• Switching o the stop zone is indicated on the remote con-
trol by an indicator lamp (15).
• When the dead man buttons are released, the machine
stops.
• If the machine operator approaches within a distance of less
than 0.5 m, the machine stops and switches o the working
functions, the indicator lamp starts ashing.
• The function is not available if the machine operator is be-
yond the maximum range of the remote control.
• The machine cannot be started if the dead man function is
active.
When using the dead man function, the protected zone
of the machine is deactivated.
Use extra caution. There is a risk of injury or death by be-
ing run over by the machine!
