2.3 Operator Safety Instructions
!
Warning to our Users :
In accordance to the rules and regulations of the FCC, any changes or modifications made to
our transmitter or receiver by you without the express written consent of HBC-radiomatic, Inc.
could void your authority to operate the equipment under FCC’s rule 15.21 !
!
Before beginning crane operation, position yourself so that you have a clear and complete
overview of the working radius of the crane or machine.
!
To operate, hold the transmitter securely in your hand. Use the optional wrist strap. Follow
these instructions to ensure personal safety.
!
Depending on your angle or position to the crane or machine, the transmitter control commands
“trolley left” and “trolley right” appear to interchange ! It is essential that you take your
bearings to the crane or machine into due consideration before operating equipment.
!
In case of an emergency or any disturbances within the working range of the crane or machine,
switch the transmitter OFF immediately by pressing the STOP pushbutton. Should the
transmitter show signs of technical failure or breakdown, disconnect the radio control system
immediately !
!
Switch the transmitter OFF during breaks and after finishing work to avoid any misoperation of
crane or machine by unintended activation of the operator controls.
–
These precautions are particularly important whenever changing your position or climbing
over an obstacle.
!
Never leave an activated transmitter unattended. The operator undertakes to follow and comply
with the authoritative regulations for worker safety and accident prevention (e. g. VBG 9).
Note :
–
In the event of an interruption of the radio link during a working cycle – what can
occasionally happen – both transmitter and receiver automatically shut down (so-called
"
compulsory switch-off
").
To reactivate the system release all operator controls, such as pushbuttons or momentary
contacts, and allow the control elements to return to their zero position. Press the
"ON/Horn" pushbutton. The system must be reactivated before the crane or machine can
react to control commands ! This feature hinders any uncontrolled or unwanted crane or
machine movement, should the radio link be interrupted.
–
When operating a crane by means of a radio control system for the first time, you may miss
the physical contact to the crane that you were used to in the operating stand. As you are no
longer in the crane and can no longer sense the starting of the crane movements as
distinctly, crane reactions will appear sluggish or dull.
