Cruise Mode and Screen Software version Rev B and up. Cruise mode is identified by this icon: Cruise mode provides hands-free operation for rotary and thrust, set by the operator. Note: Use Cruise mode for pull back only. Using cruise mode in thrust could cause damage. You can only use cruise mode with clockwise functions. Accessing the Cruise Screen Push the cruise button on the joystick (Figure 10) or push button 4 on the home screen to access the cruise screen.
The following table describes the function values affected when another function is given priority. The priority is the function with the highest value, not the value selected in the screen. All values are dependent on the available engine horse power. Button Priority Icon Description 1 Pipe rotation speed (Rotary RPM) The set rotary RPM is maintained unless the set rotary torque is exceeded, then the rotary rpm is reduced.
Carve Mode and Screen Carve mode is identified by this icon: Carve mode can only be set in thrust, not pullback. Accessing the Carve Screen Push the carve button on the joystick (Figure 12) or push button 4 on the home screen to access the carve screen. g298903 Figure 12 Push button 4 to switch between cruise and carve modes. Activating Carve 1. Position the drill bit in the direction (clock position) that you need to steer/carve. 2. Return the joysticks to the neutral position. 3.
The following table describes the function values affected when another function is given priority. The priority is the function with the highest value, not the value selected in the screen. All values are dependent on the available engine horse power. Button 1 Priority Icon Pipe rotation speed (Rotary RPM) Description The set rotary RPM is maintained unless the set rotary torque is exceeded, then the rotary rpm is reduced.
