FlexiROC T35 R/T40 R 2 General Emergency stop cable Emergency stop Receiver Compressor Hydraulic systems Air system Boom Dust collector DCT 2.4.2 Power pack The hydraulic drill rig is powered by a turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine which is equipped with an afterburner chamber to reduce emissions.
FlexiROC T35 R/T40 R 2 General The emergency stop buttons/cables are connected in series with the diesel engine cut-out system. As soon as an emergency stop button/cable is activated, the diesel engine will be stopped immediately. Reset the emergency stop buttons before restarting the engine. The engine cannot be started while one of the emergency stops is still activated.
