Operation of the float function
The float function can be activated in the func-
tion menu via one of the two switches "Float
function - remote area ON/OFF" (140/109)
or "Float function - close range ON/OFF"
(140/110).
In the main control display, the various sym-
bols indicating that the float function for re-
mote range or for close range is turned on will
appear on a green background (139/36).
However, the function is not "properly" active
at this point. The function is only made ready
for operation when the operator holds down
the foot button (139/14) attached to the cab
floor with their left heel. The status "Float
function ready" is identified by the symbol
(139/36) flashing on a green background.
As soon as the lower pressure threshold is
undershot, the "Active phase" begins, i.e.,
the boom is lifted automatically until the upper
pressure threshold is reached. The symbol
(139/36) is displayed on a yellow background
(not flashing) during the active phase.
The float function is activated only when the foot
button (139/14) is pressed and the correspond-
ing symbol (139/36) is shown flashing on a
green background.
There is also a user-friendly option for switch-
ing between remote and close range by
pressing the button (139/1) on the right-hand
four-way control lever.
