INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE RADIO-CONTROL

For lift trucks with RC radio control

HOW TO USE THE RADIO-CONTROL

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- This radio-control consists of electronic and mechanical safety elements. It cannot receive commands from another transmitter because

the internal encoding is unique to each radio-control.

If it is used improperly or incorrectly, there is a risk of danger to:

- The physical and mental health of the user or others.
- The lift truck and other neighbouring items.

Everyone working with this radio-control:

- Must be qualified in line with current regulations and therefore appropriately trained.
- Must follow this instruction manual as closely as possible.

- The system is used to control the lift truck remotely via radio waves. Commands are also transmitted if the lift truck is out of sight (behind

an obstacle or a building for example), this is why:

• After stopping the truck and removing the key button (only possible when it is stationary), always place the transmitter in a safe,

dry place.

• Before performing any installation, servicing or repair work, always switch off power sources (in particular, electric welding devices

and electric head units on hydraulic distributors must be disconnected at each section).

• Never remove or alter the safety devices (such as the hand-guard frame, key, emergency stop button, etc.).

Never drive the lift truck if it is not continuously and perfectly within view of the operator!

- Before leaving the transmitter, the operator must make sure that it cannot be used by an unauthorized third person: either by removing

the key button from the transmitter or locking it in an inaccessible place.

- The user must ensure that the instruction manual is accessible at all times and that operators have read and understood it.

INSTRUCTIONS
- Take up position in a stable place with no risk of slipping.
- Before using the transmitter, make sure there is nobody within the working area.
- Only use the transmitter with its carrying device or installed correctly on the platform.

When you remove the transmitter, remove the accumulator and key button so that it cannot be used accidentally or deliberately by anyone else.

PROTECTIVE DEVICES
- The lift truck will be immobilised within 450 milliseconds (approx. 0.5 second) at most:

• If the transmitter emergency stop button (50 milliseconds), or the one on the lift is pressed.
• If the transmission distance of the radio waves is exceeded.
• If the transmitter is faulty.
• If an interfering radio signal is received from elsewhere.
• If the accumulator is removed from its housing in the transmitter.
• If the accumulator reaches the end of its autonomy.
• If the transmitter is switched off by turning the key button to stop.

- These protective devices are provided for the safety of personnel and property and must never be altered, removed or bypassed in any

way whatsoever!

- The hand-guard frame prevents external action on a manipulator (if the transmitter falls, for example, or if the operator leans on a

guard-rail).

- An electronic safety device prevents radio transmission from being initiated if the manipulators are not mechanically and electrically at

rest and if the internal combustion engine speed selector is not set to idle.

In an emergency, press the transmitter emergency stop button immediately ; then follow the manual’s instructions (see: 2 - DESCRIPTION: INSTRUMENTS AND

CONTROLS).
