4.8 PLATFORM
Platform Level Adjustment
ONLY USE THE PLATFORM LEVELING OVERRIDE FUNCTION FOR SLIGHT LEVELING OF
THE PLATFORM. INCORRECT USE COULD CAUSE THE LOAD/OCCUPANTS TO SHIFT OR
FALL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
NOTE: When the Boom Control Select Switch is in the Manual mode,
Platform leveling only functions during Main Lift operation.
When the Boom Control Select Switch is in the Automatic mode,
Platform Leveling is active during all functions except during
telescope operation. Also, when in the Manual mode, the Con-
trolled Arc and Controlled Angle systems are not active.
During normal operation of the machine, the plat-
form will automatically maintain it’s position. To
manually Level Up or Down - Position the Platform/
Level control switch Up or Down and hold until the
desired platform position is obtained.
Platform Rotation
To rotate the platform to the left or right, use the
Platform Rotate control switch to select the direc-
tion and hold until desired position is reached.
4.9 BOOM
A RED TILT WARNING LIGHT IS LOCATED ON THE CONTROL CONSOLE
WHICH LIGHTS WHEN THE CHASSIS IS ON AN EXCESSIVE SLOPE. DO
NOT SWING OR RAISE BOOM ABOVE HORIZONTAL WHEN LIGHT IS
LIT.
DO NOT DEPEND ON TILT ALARM AS A LEVEL INDICATOR FOR THE CHASSIS. TILT
ALARM INDICATES CHASSIS IS ON AN EXCESSIVE SLOPE (4 DEGREE OR GREATER ON CE
& AUSTRALIA SPEC MACHINES, 5 DEGREE OR GREATER ON ANSI, CSA, & JAPAN SPEC
MACHINES). CHASSIS MUST BE LEVEL BEFORE SWINGING, OR RAISING BOOM ABOVE
HORIZONTAL OR DRIVING WITH THE BOOM ELEVATED.
TO AVOID TIP OVER IF RED TILT WARNING LIGHT LIGHTS WHEN BOOM IS RAISED
ABOVE HORIZONTAL, LOWER PLATFORM TO GROUND LEVEL. THEN REPOSITION
MACHINE SO THAT CHASSIS IS LEVEL BEFORE RAISING BOOM.
