When you release the Steering rocker-switch
(6) the steering wheels remain pointed in the
direction you left them. They do not return to
“straight ahead” the way automobile wheels
do. You will have to press the opposite side of
the Steering rocker-switch (6) to return to
straight line travel. In tight spots you should
stop the SRT, turn the wheels the direction you
want to go, then, after you have “aimed” the
steering wheels, squeeze the Safety Control
(5) and move the Joystick Controller (3)
slowly forward or backward.

Raising the Platform

To raise the platform from the platform control box
do the following:

1. The engine must be running. If not, start it

from the platform control box as
described above.

2. Set the Lift/Drive Selector (1) to lift (left).

If the Lift Indicator Light (2) is not lit, the
platform will not go up because: the chassis is
not level, the outriggers (if present) are not
properly set, or the articulating axles (if
present) are not locked. Correct the problem
then continue.

The platform is about to move. If you have to
make an emergency stop, release the
Joystick Controller (3) and sharply strike the
Emergency Stop switch (4) straight in.

To make a normal stop, slowly move the Joystick
Controller
(3) to its “centered” neutral position then
release it.

3. Squeeze and hold the Safety Control (5)

against the Joystick Controller (3).

4. Push the Joystick Controller (3) forward

to raise the platform, or backward to lower
it. The further you push the Joystick
Controller
(3) forward, the faster the
platform rises. There is only one down
speed.

Outriggers

Setting the outriggers

1. Check to see that the ground under the

four outrigger pads (1 typ.) is firm, stable,
and unobstructed.

2. Completely lower the platform (3).

If the platform (3) is above 1.7m (5’ 6") the
outriggers cannot be set or adjusted. This
safety feature prevents the SRT from being
tipped over by the outriggers if the Outrigger
switches are accidentally pushed while the
platform is raised.

3. The engine must be running and the SRT

set for platform control box (2) operation.
