PARTIAL SHUTDOWN

PARTIAL SHUTDOWN

To shut down the machine in order to leave the operator's seat temporarily, for break or for shift change, only the primary controls need be deactivated. If it is the end of the shift, rotate the machine one full revolution to change the position of the rollers in the roller circle for even wear. Sound the whistle before swinging the machine.

Lower the dipper to the ground and set all brakes after machine motion has stopped. Move the Control Transfer switch to BRAKE. SET position.

Finally, fully press and release the Excitation Stop pushbutton to de-energize Line Excitation (LE). The green indicator light in the Excitation Start pushbutton should go out.

The machine is now inoperable and is partially shut down.
