Abstract
A telescoping conveyor includes a base section and one or more boom sections mounted on the base section and operable to be telescopically extended and retracted in relation to the base section. Control switches are located at multiple locations to enable operator control to extend or retract the one or more boom sections. The telescoping conveyor is configured such that, during a retraction operation, when a predefined degree of retraction is reached, a change in operator control is imposed to enable an operator to continue retraction of the one or more boom sections. The changed operator control requires the operator to be positioned away from a location of a potential hazard during the continued retraction operation.
