4.4 RAISING AND LOWERING - (LIFTING)
DO NOT RAISE PLATFORM EXCEPT ON A HARD, LEVEL SUR-
FACE FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS AND HOLES.
NOTE: This machine is equipped with a Enable Switch on
the side of the platform control console. This switch
must be depressed before activating DRIVE, LIFT, or
STEER functions from the platform control console.
Raising
1. Position MAIN POWER switch to desired position
and position POWER ON (platform) or EMERGENCY
STOP (ground) switch, as applicable, to ON. If
machine has been shut down, start engine and
allow warm-up period before beginning any lifting.
2. Pull LIFT toggle switch, then move it to UP and hold
until desired elevation is achieved.
Lowering
ENSURE SIZZOR ARM AREA IS FREE OF PERSONNEL PRIOR TO
LOWERING PLATFORM.
DO NOT ‘LIFT DOWN’ WITHOUT COMPLETELY RETRACTING
PLATFORM EXTENSION OR OPTIONAL TRAVERSING DECK.
Pull LIFT toggle switch, then move it to DOWN and hold
until desired elevation is achieved or until platform is fully
lowered
4.5 LEVELING JACKS (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: The machine may be equipped with leveling jacks
enabling the operator to level the machine on
uneven surfaces.
Lower leveling jacks until the bubble level located on the
platform of the machine reads level. The tilt warning light
and the tilt warning alarm must not be on. When using lev-
eling jacks, always deploy all four.
NOTE: The operational characteristics on CE/Australian
machines are as follows:
All 4 leveling jacks must be deployed to permit lift
function above 8 m (26 ft). (Optional for ANSI/CSA)
The operational characteristics ANSI/CSA machines
are as follows:
Lift function is permitted to full height with all 4 level-
ing jacks retracted or all 4 leveling jacks deployed. If
using leveling jacks all 4 must be deployed before
lifting is permitted.
IT IS AN UNSAFE PRACTICE TO LIFT THE PLATFORM OF THE
MACHINE IF THE TILT WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND/OR THE TILT
WARNING ALARM IS SOUNDING. BE SURE AND USE LEVELING
JACKS TO LEVEL MACHINE BEFORE LIFTING..
