- only start up the transmitting unit when starting work: improper use may
cause hazardous situations;
- never start up or use the transmitting unit in closed spaces, with the machine
not in sight, or outside the radio remote control working range: in such cases
it is in fact still possible to build a radio link, thus causing the risk that un-
wanted commands be carried out by the machine;
- get familiar with the correspondence between the pushbuttons and the ma-
chine's movements (this is indicated in the attached technical data sheet) and
learn symbols on the panel of the A8 unit (symbols used are defined by the
machine manufacturer and/or installer depending on the machine's operation
and functions).
During normal operation, the user shall do the following:
- visually and directly follow all movements of the machine and its load and re-
main inside the radio remote control working range;
- use the transmitting unit in a simple and comfortable way, avoiding acciden-
tal falls. The pouch supplied with the radio remote control is used for this pur-
pose;
- pay particular attention to warnings and visual/acoustic signals, and take all
measurements and steps to avoid that movements of the remote controlled
machine leads to hazardous situations for people and/or property;
- pay attention to the entire work area. Immediately press the STOP pushbutton
when a hazardous situation occurs;
- pay attention to the low battery signals. The A8 unit cannot be used during
the charging process; all dangerous operations (i.e. hanging load) must
therefore be brought to an end before the battery is completely flat;
- in case of malfunction, disable the system “machine+radio remote control”
until the problem has been completely solved.
After using the radio remote control, the user shall do the following:
- switch off the transmitting unit when work is stopped or temporarily inter-
rupted. Do not leave the load hanging (even while recharging the unit);
- never leave the transmitting unit unattended if it is on.
