8 - ATTACHMENT HYDRAULIC CONTROL FORCED OPERATION
This OPTION must only be used with an attachment requiring continuous hydraulic movement of type:
brush, supply bucket, mixer, spray... It is strictly forbidden in handling operations and at all other events
(winch, crane boom, crane boom with winch, hook, etc.).
CONTINUOUS HYDRAULIC MOVEMENT OF THE ATTACHMENT
- Make sure the potentiometer C is set to 0%.
- Switch button A to the front or the back (depending on the type of attachment), press button
B and release button A. The red indicator 1, flashes to indicate that it is in operation.
- Set the required flowrate using potentiometer C.
- To stop continuous hydraulic movement of the attachment, move switch A forwards or
backwards or press button B. Indicator 1 goes out.
- Set potentiometer C to 0%.
Never leave the driver's cab without resetting the potentiometer C to 0%. Before starting the lift truck,
make sure the potentiometer is set to 0%.
NOTE: If the operator leaves the driver's cab, the continuous hydraulic movement will
automatically stop and must be restarted.
9 - BOOM SUSPENSION
The boom is suspended to reduce shaking of the lift truck on rough ground (e.g. moving
straw in a field).
OPERATION
- Set the forks or attachment on the ground and relieve the front wheels a few centimetres
only.
- Press switch 1 set to position A, the visual indicator comes on indicating that boom
suspension is activated.
- Press switch 1 set to position B, the visual indicator goes out indicating that boom
suspension is deactivated.
Boom suspension is active to a lifting height of 3m00 from the axis of articulation of the carriage with
respect to the ground with the boom retracted. When you move beyond this height or make another
hydraulic movement (tilting, telescoping, attachment), boom suspension is momentarily deactivated
and the visual indicator of switch 1 goes out.
- When the I.C. engine is off, boom suspension is automatically deactivated.
