Operating Instructions
Introduction
This machine can be operated with or without the
engine running.
Starting the Engine
1 At the ground controls, turn the key switch to
the desired position.
2 Be sure both ground and platform control red
Emergency Stop buttons are pulled out to the
on position.
3 Move the engine start toggle switch to either
side. If the engine fails to start or dies, the
restart delay will disable the start switch for
3 seconds.
If the engine fails to start after 15 seconds of
cranking, determine the cause and repair any
malfunction. Wait 60 seconds before trying to start
again.
In cold conditions, hold the glow plug switch to
either side and then start the engine.
In extreme cold conditions, 20°F / -6°C and below,
hold the glow plug switch to either side for 10
seconds and then start the engine. Warm the
engine (use low idle) for 5 minutes to prevent
hydraulic system damage.
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation
inspection.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator's,
safety and responsibilities manuals.
Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel and tools to an aerial work site is unsafe
and dangerous.
Only trained and authorized personnel should be
permitted to operate a machine. If more than one
operator is expected to use a machine at different
times in the same work shift, they must all be
qualified operators and are all expected to follow all
safety rules and instructions in the operator's,
safety and responsibilities manuals. That means
every new operator should perform a pre-operation
inspection, function tests, and a workplace
inspection before using the machine.
