9. The CONDOR® has been designed to drive with the counterweight over thedrive wheels. This configuration will provide the best traction and a familiardriving position.10. A series/parallel drive valve is located in the front carriage compartmentbetween the drive wheels. This valve performs the necessary functions ofdividing the hydraulic oil for slow speed travel with adjustable differentialaction to round corners, and diverting the oil flow for high speed travel. Thecounterbalance valve softens the brake release and application efficientlywithout an accumulator.1 1 . The wheel drive has the following features:A. There is a FAST/SLOW speed selector (toggle switch) on the uppercontrol box.B. FAST speed is only available in stowed position.C. In FAST speed mode, no aerial functions may be operated, even if thecontrollers are activated. When the boom is elevated off of the turret,HIGH speed is not available and boom functions become operable.D. A CREEP speed mode is automatically engaged when the lift arm israised or the boom is elevated out of its stowed position.1 2. Operate the boom at a horizontal position until you are familiar with theoperation and feel of the controls. The unit will respond more smoothly tothe controls when they are activated properly.1 2. Gradually operate the unit up to its maximum elevation and extension.13. All CONDOR® models are equipped with a slope-sensing device which sensesa 5° out-of-level condition. This safety system is operational when theignition circuit is on and the boom is above horizontal. When the unit issubjected to an out-of-plumb condition of 5° or more, the system will soundan audible alarm at both control stations. The operator should correct thecondition by reversing the drive direction or by selecting an alternate path,observing normal safety precautions when operating the equipment. Theslope-sensing device is a safety system and must not be disconnected.Should the system be found inoperable, the unit must be taken out of serviceand must not be used until the system has been repaired.2MANUAL 92323-002SEPTEMBER 1994
