Bucyrus International, Inc. 8200 Walking Dragline
The ceiling, walls and floor of both rooms are insulated. Adequate lighting is provided and the control switches are conveniently placed. The ceiling and walls are easily made of a stainless material and are easy cleaned. The floor covering deadens sound and is easily maintained. CAUTION:
There is a drop from the cab floor to the walkway on the outside of the cab.
The front windshield is sloped out at top to reduce reflection, dirt adherence, and rain streaks. The safety-glass area extends from the cab floor to almost ceiling level for boom and ground visibility.
OPERATOR’S CONTROLS The operating controls for this machine are all grouped around or are a part of the operator’s station in the cab. The machine start-up controls are located inside the machinery house. The operator’s seat has adjustments for positioning it to the best location to suit individual operators. The operator should always adjust the seat to suit before taking over the controls. See the adjustment procedure following later in this section. DANGER:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THE MACHINE CONTROLS. NEVER LEAVE THE OPERATOR’S SEAT WITHOUT FIRST SETTING ALL MOTION BRAKES AND “DROPPING OUT” (DE-ENERGIZING) LINE EXCITATION BY PUSHING THE EXCITATION STOP PUSHBUTTON.
The machine’s operating motions - HOIST, DRAG, PROPEL and SWING - are controlled by the operator using the 2 Joysticks positioned on the right and left armrests of the operator’s seat. These are the primary controls. Moving any of these off their neutral position, when the drives are activated, will initiate motion. The secondary controls are mounted in the console on each side of the operator. They are the necessary lights, switches, pushbuttons, and controller programs to support the primary controls. Also located here are components that signal the operator and announce faults in selected systems on-board.
