Warning Categories
The following recommendations are the recommended actions that need to be taken by the machine operator if a warning occurs:
Warning Category 1
In a Category 1 warning, the action lamp illuminates solid amber in color. A Category 1 warning will indicate that the operator should be aware of a condition of one or more of the machine systems.
Warning Category 2
In a Category 2 warning, the action lamp flashes red in color. The Category 2 warning requires a change in the machine operation or you must perform maintenance to the system. Changing the machine operation will reduce the excessive temperature in one of the systems or in more than one of the systems.
If the action lamp continues to flash, do not operate the machine. Possible damage to components on the machine may occur.
Warning Category 3
In a Category 3 warning, the action lamp flashes red in color. Also, the action alarm will produce a pulsating sound. The Category 3 warning requires an immediate, safe emergency shutdown of the machine. Possible injury to the operator or severe damage to components may occur if the machine is not shutdown.
Do not operate the machine until the cause has been corrected.
