10. Emergency stop switch (will only stop Scanreco system).
11. Remote on button.
Before operation of the radio control system.
Please be advised that when the radio control transmitter is switched on and paired to
the receiver it will override the park brake and high speed tracking switch functions. The
throttle and tracking will operate on both independently.
Before starting the engine, check that the park brake is on and in low speed tracking.
This can be done by observing the warning light indicators. The park brake should be
illuminated and the hare symbol not.
Now check that the switches on the transmitter are also in the park brake on and low
speed selected position. This is done by checking that switch’s 6 and 8 are toggled to the
left.
Manual operation without transmitter.
To begin you will have to release the park brake, operate the switch to the right of the
control levers. When the brake is released the park warning lamp indicator will
extinguish. Carefully pushing the track control levers will allow the machine to move
forward or backwards. To change up to high speed tracking, operate the switch located
on the control housing next to the warning lamps. The hare warning lamp indicator will
illuminate showing the speed has changed.
Operating the lower switch will control the engine rpm, pushing it to the left will increase
the rpm and to the right will decrease the rpm. Set rpm to the desired speed.
Approximately 2000 rpm is recommended.
Remote control operation.
When using the remote you should always set the manual switch controls to Park brake
on position and low speed selected. This advised because when the transmitter is
switched off or loses signal with the receiver the system reverts back to manual control
and the brake will be applied. When the transmitter is on it overrides all manual control,
so setting this to a safe position means the machine is under control by the user at all
times.
To switch on remote, pull out emergency stop switch on the receiver and hold the on
button for a few seconds. When the remote is on it has full control of the park brake and
high speed tracking. Release the park brake by toggling switch 2 to the right. The park
brake warning lamp indicator will extinguish. Carefully pushing the levers 1 & 2 forwards
or backwards will cause the machine to track respectively. To change to high speed
tracking toggle switch 5 to the right and the hare warning lamp indicator will illuminate
indicating that the speed has been selected.
Operating the rpm+ or rpm- will control the engine speed accordingly.
As a test of operation, the user can push the emergency stop button on the transmitter
and observe the warning lamp indicators. If set up correctly the park brake should
illuminate and the hare lamp should extinguish as control has been returned to manual
operation.
