Platform Control Station
1. Enable Switch -These machines are equipped with
an enable switch on the side of the platform control
console. On machines built with a serial number
before 0200058922, the enable switch must be
pressed before activating the drive, lift or steer func-
tions. A built-in timer shuts off power to these func-
tions if they are not activated within 3 seconds after
the enable switch is depressed. In addition, this
timer will shut off power to the drive and lift functions
3 seconds after they are deactivated, making if nec-
essary to depress the enable switch before activat-
ing drive and lift again. The steer function, unless
activated in conjunction with the drive or lift func-
tions, will automatically cut off after 3 seconds of
operation. On machines built from, and including,
serial number 0200058922, the enable switch must
be depressed and held for the duration of lift. The
enable switch works in conjunction with the lift
switch only.
2. Ignition/Emergency Stop Switch - An ignition/
emergency stop red mushroom-type switch is pro-
vided in order to turn on machine power in the plat-
form and also to turn off machine power in the event
of an emergency. Power is turned on by positioning
the switch to the up (on) position, and is turned off
by positioning the switch to the down (off) position.
3. Start Button - A momentary contact, push-button-
type switch that supplies electrical power to the
starter solenoid when the ignition/emergency stop
switch is in the on position and the start button is
depressed.
4. Tilt Alarm Warning Horn - The Tilt Alarm Warning
Horn is activated by the tilt alarm switch when the
chassis is on a severe slope (over 3°) with the plat-
form raised.
