the main pump or engine fail. The auxiliary pump
will operator boom lift, telescope and swing.
It should be noted that the functions will operate at
a slower than normal rate because of lower hydrau-
lic flow.
WHEN OPERATING ON AUXILIARY POWER, DO NOT OPERATE
MORE THAN ONE FUNCTION AT THE SAME TIME. SIMULTA-
NEOUS OPERATION CAN OVERLOAD THE AUXILIARY PUMP
MOTOR.
NOTE: The main function of the auxiliary power is to lower
the platform in the event of primary power failure.
Determine the reason for primary power failure and
have the problem corrected by a qualified service
technician.
NOTE: Auxiliary power is primarily intended for platform low-
ering in the event of primary power failure. However,
