Slewing Canopy Controls - Vanguard CPW 125-4-S Series Operation And Maintenance Manual

The speed of the Slewing Canopy will be dependent on the engine RPM speed driving the hydraulic implement pump. The
faster the engine RPM, the faster the Slewing Canopy operational speed.

Slewing Canopy Controls

HOLD: Move the control lever(s) to the centre position to stop the motion of the Slewing Canopy. The Slewing Canopy will
remain at the position it is in. The HOLD function will be identified by one of two methods, depending on the type of
implement controls in the carrier vehicle. 1) The HOLD position will be indicated by a mechanical detent (a point of
resistance at the centre of control lever movement), and the implement controls will have to be manually returned to HOLD
position. 2) Spring force will self centre the lever to the HOLD position whenever it is released.
Note: Refer to the specific carrier vehicle's Operation and Maintenance manual for information regarding operation of the
implement controls when they are released.
RAISE: Move the lever to this position to RAISE the Slewing Canopy. The further the lever is pushed away from
HOLD position, the faster the Slewing Canopy will RAISE. The closer the lever is toward HOLD, the slower the
Slewing Canopy will RAISE.
LOWER: Move the lever to this position to lower the Slewing Canopy. The further the lever is pushed away from
HOLD position, the faster the Slewing Canopy will lower. The closer the lever is toward HOLD, the slower the
Slewing Canopy will lower.
Rotate/Slew Clockwise: Move the lever to this position to rotate the Slewing Canopy clockwise. The further the
lever is pushed away from HOLD position, the faster the Slewing Canopy will rotate. The closer the lever is toward
HOLD, the slower the Slewing Canopy will rotate. The Slewing Canopy will rotate until it contacts the mechanical
slewing-stop. Do not continue to rotate the canopy once it comes into contact with the mechanical slewing-stop
Rotate/Slew Counterclockwise (Anticlockwise): Move the lever to this position to rotate the Slewing Canopy
counterclockwise (anticlockwise). The further the lever is pushed away from HOLD position, the faster the Slewing
Canopy will rotate. The closer the lever is toward HOLD, the slower the Slewing Canopy will rotate. The Slewing
Canopy will rotate until it contacts the mechanical slewing-stop. Do not continue to rotate the canopy once it comes
into contact with the mechanical slewing-stop
The control motion of the Slewing Canopy must be observed by the operator at all times. Significant risk of injury or even
death may result if the Slewing Canopy contacts personnel under force of the hydraulic controls. Significant risk of damage
to equipment on or near the carrier vehicle may result if the Slewing Canopy contacts equipment under force of the
hydraulic controls.
Always ensure that you are watching the Slewing Canopy and are aware of personnel near or around the work area
whenever the hydraulic controls are being operated.
