Operating and maintenance instructions OPERATING PRINCIPLE 4.1 - HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT All machine movements, apart from travel, are powered by the hydraulic energy supplied by an electropump whose operating speed is controlled by an electronic chopper. A filter mounted on the hydraulic return line protects the machine from pollution. In the case of a fault, manual rescue measures allow the emergency operator to obtain the movements of the mast, the movements of the jib as well as the movements of the turntable.
Operating and maintenance instructions 4.2 - ELECTRIC CIRCUIT Caution ! These machines are not The electrical power used for the controls and the starting of the machine is insulated and must not be put supplied by a unit of two traction battery blocks of 24 V - 250 Ah. A built-in charger into service near power lines enables these batteries to be recharged overnight by connecting it to a domestic 16A socket.
Operating and maintenance instructions 4.2.4 - Battery charge monitor / Hour counter This combines in a single unit the following functions : • State of charge of the batteries • Hour counter • Resetting. 4.2.4.1 -State of charge of the batteries The state of charge of the battery is indicated by 5 LEDs: •...
