NORMAL RUN
The transmitter is designed with two pushbuttons for HOIST
Up / Down, two for BRIDGE Forward / Backward and two for
TROLLEY Left / Right. Each button is divided into 2 steps
(a perceptible resistance) which facilitates the running at a certain
speed. The first speed is obtained when the pushbutton is half
compressed and the second speed is obtained when the pushbutton is
totally compressed.
All the motions can be run simultaneously and the motions stop
when the pushbutton is released, otherwise make an EMERGENCY
STOP.

MICRO RUN
X X
Push in the button for MICRO and the diode lamp for micro lights.
The micro-run movements are only at lowest speed in micro-run
mode irrespective of the compression of the pushbuttons. The
buttons are looped so that only one movement can be operated at a
time. The other functions are working as in ordinary runs.
FLOODLIGHT ⊗
The lights can be operated at any time after switching the Main
contactor ON, Light OFF must be set before Main Contactor OFF.
Otherwise the function remains. A diodlamp indicate that the light is
on.

DISCHARGED BATTERY
The transmitter is equipped with an indicator lamp for battery status.
The lamp blinks slowly green when the battery voltage is normal
(7,4V), but starts to blink rapidly yellow, when it falls (6,3V). When
the indicator lamp has started blinking rapidly yellow, the
transmitter can be operated for approx 10 min. before the voltage is
so low (5,7V) that the transmitter switches off automatically. The
indicator lamp showing fixed light indicates this.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CRANE OPERATORS
These instructions have to be followed. Marked
1. Check that the radiotransmitter operates on the crane,
which you are going to drive (ex. give a signal). Check the
function of the radiotransmitter.
2. Check that no unauthorized person is on or at the crane
when you start to drive it. The blocking device at entry of
the crane should be closed.
3. Check the position of the symbols for driving direction
(crane-trolley travel).
4. At the beginning of each shift the crane operator is to test
brake, limitswitches and emergency stop function as well
as the STOP button on the transmitter.
5. The crane operator is when driving the crane to walk or
stand at a suitable distance from the crane hoist in order to
have adequate overview of the operation.
6. It is prohibited to move the crane load over oneself or
workmates. Signal in order to warn workmates.
7. Avoid driving into end stops since equipment and goods
can be damaged.
8. Check your own free passageway in order to avoid tripping

pushbuttons in order to stop the crane. If still it does not
stop, actuate the STOP function.
10. Find out where the crane's main power disconnection is in
order to be able to quickly switch off if required.
11. Never hand over the transmitter to anybody who has not
undergone training in radio-control crane operation.
12. After completed operation you should always switch the
transmitter off with STOP. Note! Do never put the
transmitter aside without switching the transmitter off with
STOP.
13. The main contactor of the crane is to be switched off after
end of working hours. The transmitter is then to be kept
inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
14. In case of faults or breakdowns in the radiocontrol
equipment the crane should permit operating from the cab
or with suspended operating gear. In such case first turn the
switch from radio operation to manual operation. Make
certain how this switch-over is to be made before you start
driving any individual crane.
15. Make sure that the receiver cannot be activated when you
service the transmitter.
ALWAYS REPORT DEFECTS AND DEFICIENCIES TO
THE WORK MANAGEMENT.
