Selecting ram change mode: The ram change position disables both local (rear
panel) and remote control, brings the engine to idle,
reduces the stroke limiter to minimum output, and
gives complete concrete pump control to the concrete
pump forward/reverse switch located at the ram change
station (Figure 9). See the Maintenance section of the
operation manual for ram change instructions.

• Emergency stop buttons do not function
when the bypass mode is used.
If there is a malfunction in the E-stop circuit and the
dump valves (in the E-stop manifold) open, oil will be
routed from the hydraulic pump directly back to the
tank. The dump valves also open when any emergency
stop button is pushed.
If the dump valves open and the machine cannot be
repaired immediately, the power supply to the dump
valves can be reactivated by using the bypass switch
(Figure 11).
By activating the bypass key switch to the bypass
position, you send power to the solenoid of the
normally open dump valve. If the solenoid is functional
the dump valve will close and you should be able to
fold up the boom and outriggers with the manual
controls.

Options box The bottom of the two switches (Figure 14) is used to
control the function of the optional concrete shut-off
valve.
The three position switch allows the operator to control
the function of the valve in three different modes:
• Position number “1” is “Auto-mode”. This
mode should be used for normal operation.
The shut-off valve will work in relationship to
the concrete pump on-off switch. When the
machine is pumping, the concrete shut-off
valve is open; when the pump is stopped,
power is removed from the solenoid, and the
valve inflates to stop concrete from draining
out of the boom. The valve can be overridden
via the remote box. If you are standing near the
boom with the remote box and wish to drain
the concrete from the boom, activate the switch
in Figure 15 to the down position, which is the
concrete shut-off icon, and the valve will open.
The switch is located to the left of the E-stop
button on the remote box.

Acknowledging messages
NOTE!
Messages are not faults! They
are announced only visually on
CLEAR
the display and can be
clear.eps acknowledged with the
“CLEAR” key.

Acknowledging faults
Low-level faults are announced visually on the screen
and acoustically by an intermittent tone from the
controller and the warning horn. These faults can be
acknowledged via remote control or directly on the
control cabinet.
High level faults are also announced visually on
display and acoustically by an intermittent tone from
the controller and the warning horn. They can only be
acknowledged on the control cabinet.
NOTE!
In both cases, the acoustic signal can be shut
off via remote control.

Fault definition
Low level fault
In the event of a low-level fault, the job can still be
finished even if only with certain restrictions.

High-level faults
High-level faults can cause direct damage to the
machine. The control system will go to E-stop mode.
The operator must then decide if the fault displayed
will affect operational safety.
NOTE!
The operator is responsible for rectifying
any fault reported as soon as possible in
order to prevent possible damage to the
machine. After a fault message has been
canceled, it will not be repeated.
Schwing assumes no liability for damage
caused by faults that have not been rectified.
When a low-level fault is reported, this does
not mean that it can be ignored completely,
only that the job can be finished with
possible restrictions.
