7. Reach Control Valve Extending the Reach Carriage The control valve will engage the stackers hydraulic system when pushed and held downwards. This, in turn, forces a hydraulic cylinder in the center of the reach pantograph to extend outwards from the front of the stacker. This extension causes the carriage and forks to "reach" outwards. Releasing the lever will cause the lever to return to center position and will stop the outward travel of the forks. Retracting the Reach Carriage The control valve will engage the stackers hydraulic system when pulled and held upwards. This, in turn, forces a hydraulic cylinder in the center of the reach pantograph to retract inwards from the front of the stacker. This retraction causes the reach pantograph to compact inwards. Releasing the lever will cause the lever to return to center position and will stop the inward travel of the forks.
8. Emergency Stop Button Located on the dash panel, this large red button will interrupt power to all systems when pressed firmly. Pulling the button out will restore all control functions. 9. Hour Meter / Battery Discharge Indicator (Optional) The dash panel may also include any one of a number of optional gauges or meters. The most common is a combination hour meter with battery discharge indicator.(BDI). An hour meter assists maintenance personnel in recording stacker performance and scheduling planned maintenance. The BDI specifically displays the discharge condition of the batteries. See Section 6 : Optional Instruments - Operation
