Safety function off
With the Saftey function button you activate the safety mode, which reduces the danger of the crawler moving backwards inadvertently.
With this button the crawler's safety function is switched on or off.
• Select the desired option for the crawler.
When the safety function is active the crawler clutch is permanently engaged, even in case of a power failure of the entire system. Manually the
crawler can neither be moved forward nor backward, since the wheels CANNOT be turned.
When the safety function is deactivated and the system has no power, the clutch is open. The wheels are running idle and the crawler can be
manually moved forward or backward.
Activating or deactivating the safety function is effected electrically and possible during operation.
CAUTION!
With the safety function deactivated it is possible for the crawler to start moving or rolling away.
Danger of serious injuries due to a crawler rolling away uncontrollably!
NOTE!
- When the system is de-energized there is no possibility to manually activate or deactivate the safety function or to open and close
the clutch.
- Regarding the safety function the last selected status will automatically be restored when restarting the system.
