SANDBAGGER CONTROLS
WARNING
This machine is designed for use in normal outdoor atmospheric conditions. It should not be used
in an enclosed area without adequate ventilation. Do not use the machine in a potentially explosive
atmosphere, i.e., combustible vapors, gas, or dust. Failure to follow this warning may result in
injury or death to personnel.
1.
The sandbagger is operated by a main control lever (Figure 1, Item 1) and an auxiliary control lever (Figure 1, Item 3).
2.
Pressing and holding the auxiliary system button (Figure 1, Item 2) and operating the auxiliary control lever allows the
sandbagger to retain (lever pulled back) or release (lever pushed forward) sandbags from the sandbagger.
3.
For individual sandbagger movements (raise, lower, tilt forward, tilt back), the main control lever (Figure 1, Item 1) is
moved in a "+" pattern.
4.
Combined movements can be selected by moving the lever in directions between the four main ones. For example, the
sandbagger is raised by pulling the lever straight back, while to tilt the sandbagger back the lever must be moved to the
left (e.g., if you pull the lever diagonally back-and-left, the sandbagger will both rise and tilt back). To review operation of
main loader control lever, see WP 0004.
