Robot SYMBOLS SYMBOLS When using the equipment, operators could have to face some situations requiring special care and particular knowledge. When these situations involve the safety of operators or bystanders, the machine efficiency and proper utilisation, the handbook highlights these specific instructions with SPECIAL SYMBOLS.
Robot CONVENTIONAL REFERENCES A-1 CONVENTIONAL REFERENCES A-1.1 Machine position Conventionally the machine should be considered po- sitioned as shown in figure A1. This convention is necessary to make any reference of this handbook to different machine parts (front, rear, etc.) clear and unmistakable.
Robot CONVENTIONAL REFERENCES A-1.2 Labels and warning plates applied on IMPORTANT the machine The work platform may be operated only when sta- bilisers are lowered. This paragraph shows the labels and warning plates The lift capacity refers to the entire working range normally applied on the machine.
Robot CONVENTIONAL REFERENCES A-1.3 Explanation of the different symbols Symbol Meaning applied on the machine This paragraph illustrates the symbols that are normally robot boom lifting applied on the main control devices and instruments of a standard machine. Although they are mainly (ISO) standardised symbols that are now part of the common life, we consider useful to explain them once again.

Robot SETUP INTRODUCTION IMPORTANT This section provides the operator and the ground staff For the controls operated from the driving place of a practical guide for the gradual learning of the use of the handler, please refer to the operator’s handbook the machine equipped with robot.
Robot SETUP • Open cover A protecting the current socket on the boom (fig. C3) and plug the platform plug B in (fig. C4). • Fix the spring catch C to the special hook to prevent cable tearing (fig. C5). Fig.
Robot SETUP C-3 CONTROL PLACE ON THE PLATFORM C-3.1 Controls Two control boxes are installed on the platform. • Box A on the right-hand side houses the handler controls • Box B on the left-hand side houses the robot controls To get access to the control levers on the platform, raise the strip fitted protection cover of leather cloth.
Robot SETUP C-3.2 Boom lifting/lowering lever Handler controls (right box) A Boom lowering B Boom lifting Emergency stop button. Press this button to stop the engine. Turret rotation lever E Clockwise rotation Blank F Counter-clockwise rotation Key-switch enabling the controls Boom extension/retraction lever No circuit under voltage, key can be removed and engine is stopped.
