The user manual is supplied with supplementary documentation providing more detailed
descriptions of the installation, fitting, operation and maintenance of control systems and
custom modifications for your specific product.
Information, images, illustrations and specifications used in the instructions are based
on product information that was available at the time of going to press. Images and
illustrations used in the instructions are typical examples and not intended to be exact

2 Safety
2.2. Safety features according to 13849-1
QSC is a safety system that complies with SS EN ISO 13849-1:2008. This means there
are risks in the system that are managed with the aid of software.
RISK 1
Risk that one of the system's quick hitch locks opens at the wrong time. This could lead to
tool disconnection and cause damage.
The risk is managed by “Safety function 1” (SF1) – blocking power to the quick hitch lock’s
solenoids. SF1: SS-EN ISO 13849-1:2008 Category 2 PL d
The following applies in all operating modes:
1
The quick hitch lock’s solenoids for the machine lock must not be powered
unless the operator simultaneously depresses both of the machine lock’s
activation buttons.
2
The quick hitch lock’s solenoids for the tiltrotator lock must not be powered
unless the operator simultaneously depresses both of the tiltrotator lock’s
activation buttons.
RISK 2
Risk that the system activates the quick hitch lock’s solenoid without tool release until
much later.
The risk is managed by “Safety function 2” (SF2) – monitoring by means of warning signal
in the panel module. SF2: SS-EN ISO 13849-1:2008 Category 2 PL c
The safety system must check that the following points are complied with:
1
The warning signal must sound when one of the quick hitch lock’s solenoids 1 or
2 is powered.
2
The warning signal must be activated for at least 1 second at system start-up as
a function test.
If any of these points is not satisfied, the power to quick hitch lock solenoid 1 and quick
hitch lock solenoid 2 must be blocked until the system is restarted.
RISK 3
Risk that the system unintentionally activates pressure in the machine's extra hydraulics.
This risk is managed by “Safety function 3” (SF3) – prevention of unintentional activation
of pressure SF3: SS-EN ISO 13849-1:2008 Category 2 PL d
The following applies in all operating modes:
1
When neither of the quick hitch lock’s buttons for opening or closing the
machine lock is depressed, pressure may not be activated.

3.1. DC2
DC2 is a proportional control system with remote support. DC2 meets the requirements
placed on all components such as hydraulics, electronics and software. Used together
with engcon tiltrotators and Q-Safe, DC2 creates a safer work environment and also
enables track control, wheel control and boom slew. The engcon DC2 smartphone app
allows remote support to supplement the PC and USB cable connection.

QLM is used in combination with a Q-Safe quick hitch/machine hitch and alerts by
means of audible and visual signals if both bucket axles are not locked or in their proper
positions. This means QLM will alert when connecting and disconnecting tools or if a tool
is not properly connected.
REMARKS
For quick hitches other than Q-Safe, follow the manufacturer's
instructions for checking that tools are correctly connected.
