High Engine Temperature Alarm
If the coolant in a Ford engine exceeds 220°F (140°C)
an alarm will sound and the engine will shut off.
If the oil in a Deutz engine exceeds 230°F (110°C) an
alarm will sound and the engine will shut off. Any time
there is no alternator current being produced, an alarm
will sound and the engine will shut off. This prevents
high engine temperature if the fan belt breaks.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that caused
the overheating has been corrected.
Low Oil Pressure Alarm
The low oil pressure alarm sounds when the engine oil
pressure is near the lower limit for safe engine opera-
tion. If the alarm sounds, lower the platform to the
ground and then turn the engine off. Do not restart the
engine until the condition that caused the low oil pres-
sure has been corrected.
If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating
value the engine will shut off. The engine can be re-
started with low oil pressure, but it will only run a few
seconds before it shuts off again.
Horn
The optional horn may be used to warn personnel on
the ground. The horn is operational when the machine
is set up for operation from the upper controls.
Drive Motion Alarm
An optional drive motion alarm may be provided on the
machine. When the drive/steer control is moved out of
neutral, the alarm sounds to warn personnel in the work
area to stand clear.
Flashing Light
An optional red or amber flashing light may be located
on the top of the boom (refer to Figure 4.7). The flashing
light warns personnel that the aerial platform is in the
area.
Figure 4.7—Flashing Light
The light flashes at about one flash per second when
the engine is running.
Driving Lights
Optional headlights and blinking tail lights may be in-
stalled on the machine. The headlights are located on
the top of the front cowling. The tail lights are mounted
on the sides of the rear cowling.
Driving lights help improve visibility while driving the ae-
rial platform and help others see it too. Driving lights are
not for driving on public roadways.
Platform Work Lights
Optional platform work lights may be located on the top
rail of the platform, one on each side of the upper control
panel.
Use the platform lights to improve visibility while work-
ing aloft in dimly lit areas. Do not use the platform work
lights to drive on public roadways.
