Safe use of machines with tower elevation

the machine must be aligned horizontally before use. In horizontal alignment, the centre of gravity of the uppercarriage is over the centre of the undercarriage, which reduces the risk of tilting.

Protection from vibration

This means that there is a wide range of different vibrational loads for the same machine type.

3.4.1Uppercarriage swing movements

Turn the uppercarriage

The uppercarriage is turned using the left joystick.

Turn the uppercarriage

Move the left joystick to the left c Uppercarriage turns left. Move the left joystick to the right d Uppercarriage turns right.

Brake the uppercarriage

The machine has a hydraulic and a mechanical swing gear brake.

Hydraulic swing gear brake

Move the left joystick to neutral. A sufficient deceleration of the uppercarriage is achieved. Move the left joystick to the opposite direction. Maximum hydraulic braking action of the uppercarriage is achieved.

Mechanical swing gear brake

The uppercarriage can be locked in any position using a multi disk brake integrated in the swing gear.

The brake is negatively acting, hydraulically actuated and serves as a holding or parking brake.

Caution!

Damage to the machine.

Only lock the mechanical swing gear brake when the uppercarriage is stationary.

Press "Swing brake" button on the keyboard. Swing brake is engaged. Uppercarriage is locked. First LED in the button comes on.

Press button again. Swing brake is released. Uppercarriage is unlocked. First LED in the button goes out.

The swing brake is engaged if the safety lever is up or the access ladder is down (if installed) or the service trap is down (if installed).

In option, a buzzer can be activated in the cab if you operate the joystick to turn the uppercarriage while the swing brake is engaged.

Caution!

The brake only applies when the uppercarriage is near standstill and if no swing motion is actuated with the joystick.

To stop the uppercarriage when working on a slope: Use the joystick to reduce the uppercarriage speed. Press "Swing brake" button to operate the swing brake. Move the joystick back to "0" position only after the brake operates.

Semi-automatic swing brake control (optional)

Make sure that the swing brake does not operate.

Tilt down the rocker switch S57 on the right joystick handle. The semi-automatic control of the swing brake is on. When the semi-automatic control of the swing brake is on:

Tilt up the rocker switch S57. The semi-automatic control of the swing brake is off. The swing brake is released.
