Fig. 19: Operator position
• As the operator changes positions in the work area, it is important that
he or she understands the changes that will occur in the control of the
machine. If the operator stands in front of the machine (12), it will re-
spond in a direction opposite in relation to the operator. That is, pushing
forward causes the machine to move toward the operator; pushing left
results in the machine turning to the operator's right. Operating the ma-
chine while standing in front of it is not recommended.
• Operate the machine with the transmitter pointed at the receiving eyes
on the machine for continued operation. The light ring amber LEDs will
blink to show that the machine is receiving signals from the transmitter.
• The infrared system is equipped with an operator distance sensing sys-
tem. If the operator is standing within 1–2 m (3–6 ft) of the front or rear of
the machine, the amber light ring will flash rapidly, and the machine will
not travel forward/reverse or vibrate until the operator moves outside the
1–2 m (3–6 ft) distance. Once the operator is at the correct distance, the
amber lights will flash slowly to indicate the machine can be operated.
Note: The control cable is not needed for using the infrared system.
• Multiple rollers are not to be operated within 20 meters (65 ft) of one an-
other, unless you are certain you have each roller and its accompanying
transmitter set to a different control channel than the other rollers/trans-
mitters being used within the area. For further information,
System and Control Channels on page
control channels can, in certain circumstances, cause one transmitter to
inadvertently take control of more than one machine.
• Always use the SmartControl™ SC-3 transmitter neck strap provided by
the manufacturer while operating with the control cable connected. This
neck strap is designed to break away so that the operator will not be
dragged by the machine should the machine slide, tip, or fall.
