Abstract

PURPOSE:To raise the safety of a slewing type working vehicle by a method in which operating conditions of the circuit switcher for a slewing base control valve and also of the slewing base are detected, while operating conditions with the actuation of the slewing base are notified. CONSTITUTION:The first controller 13 to automatically operate a solenoid type control valve 11 for operating a slewing base 3 on the basis of information of the operating direction sensor 10 of an operating lever 9 is provided to the drive circuit 12 of the valve 11. The second controller 16 to automatically operate the valve 11 in such a way as to stop the base 2 on the basis of information from the vehicular angle sensor 14 and vehicular stop angle setter 15 for the base 2 and also to turn the base 2 is provided in parallel with the connection circuit between the controller 13 and the circuit 12. A switching condition sensor 20 is provided to a circuit switcher 17 to selectively connect the circuit 12 to the controllers 13 and 16. The information of the sensor 20 is transmitted to slewing alarm buzzers 24A and 24B having different sounds through AND circuits 21A and 21B, thereby leading a driver to re-confirm switching conditions.
