Malfunction and Remedies
Safety circuits
Your attention is optically drawn to malfunctions and hazardous situations by warning
indications on the R-Touch and acoustically by warning sounds. Some functions may
be blocked in case of hazardous situations.
Malfunctions, causes and remedies are described on the R-Touch, chapter 6.
8.1 Safety circuits
The machine provides the greatest possible safety to the operator and materials.
Safety switches in the driver's cabin block individual functions of the machine when
the operator leaves the cabin. If a function cannot be executed from within the driver's
cabin or if switches are blocked, then first check whether the left joystick console is
swung down, the driver's seat is occupied, the back wall of the platform is folded up,
the engine compartment cover and the ladder safety rail are closed.
If the malfunction cannot be remedied, then refer to the respective sections of this
operating manual for the components concerned respectively non-functional com-
ponents. You will find hints on safety circuits and possible reasons for a malfunction
there.
WARNING
Hazard of extreme injuries or damage to the machine.
– Never defeat safety installations, safety locks or safety circuits. This may have the
consequence of extreme injuries.
– Never perform functional tests, if you are not fully informed about the scope and
consequences of such a test.
– Make sure, that when searching for the cause of the malfunction respectively
when remedying malfunctions, in case of need, a second, reliable person is
present, who is familiar with the machine to such an extent, that he is able to shut
down the machine immediately, when a hazard threatens.
– In case of the slightest doubt, call in specialist personnel trained accordingly or
enquire with service personnel from ROPA.
– Do not perform any repairs on the machine if you do not have the required special-
ist knowledge and experience.
Should you be able to contact your dealer or the manufacturer, further fault diagnos-
tics is possible via the special diagnostic menus of the R-Touch. For safety reasons,
individual menus are blocked for the operator. In case of improper handling, hazards
to life may occur, or the machine may be heavily damaged, which would cause costly
repairs.
