Your attention is optically drawn to malfunctions and hazardous situations by warning
indications on the color terminal and acoustically by warning sounds. Individual functions
may be blocked in case of hazardous situations.
8.1 Safety circuits
The machine provides the greatest possible safety to operator and materials. Safety
switches in the cabin block individual functions of the machine when the operator leaves
the cabin. If any function cannot be executed from the cabin or if switches are blocked,
first check if the left joystick console has been swung down, the rear platform wall has
been swung up and the engine housing cover and the safety guard rail on the boarding
steps are closed.
If the malfunction cannot be remedied, then refer to the respective sections of
this operating manual for the components concerned, respectively, non-functional
components. You will find instructions on safety circuits and possible reasons for a
malfunction there.
Warning! Hazard of severest injuries or damage to the machine. Never render safety
devices, safety interlocks or safety circuits inoperable. This can lead to very severe
injuries. Never perform functional tests if you are not fully informed about the scope
and consequences of such a test. When troubleshooting, respectively, when remedying
faults, ensure that a second reliable person is present (if necessary) and that such
person is familiar with the machine to the extent that he or she may immediately shut
down the machine as soon as danger is imminent. In case of the slightest doubt, call in
specialist personnel trained accordingly or enquire with service personnel from ROPA.
Do not perform any repairs on the machine if you do not have the required specialist
knowledge and experience.
If you should be able to contact your dealer or the manufacturer by radio or cell phone,
then more extensive fault diagnostics is possible using specific diagnostic menus on
the colour terminal. For safety reasons, individual menus are blocked for the operator. If
equipment is improperly handled, then people could receive life-threatening injuries or
heavy damage could be caused to the machine, which would have the consequence of
costly repairs.
