There may be occasions when the safety mismatch occurs at start up due to slew angle differences accumulated during shut down. Use the override button to slew round past the reset sensor on the floa�ng end (0°) of the machine. Once the slew is synchronized the machine may be operated normally. M3000007 GKD Technik Ltd...
