SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION
4.1 DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift equipped with a
work platform on an elevating scissor mechanism. Vibrations
emitted by these machines are not hazardous to an operator
in the work platform. The equivalent continuous A-Weighted
sound pressure level at the work platform is less than 70
dB(A).
The primary operator control station is in the platform. From
this control station, the operator can drive and steer the
machine in both forward and reverse directions. The
machine has a Ground Control Station which will override
the Platform Control Station. Ground Controls operate lift
and lower and are to be used in an emergency to lower the
platform to the ground should the operator in the platform be
unable to do so. Ground Control is also to be used in Pre-
Start Inspection.
4.2 ENGINE OPERATION
Power Selector Switch
The power selector switch functions to direct electrical power
to the desired control station. With the switch in the ground
position, power is supplied to the emergency stop switch at
the ground control station. When the switch is in the platform
position, power is supplied to the emergency stop switch at
the platform control station. The switch should be in the off
position when parking the machine overnight.
Emergency Stop Switch
This switch, when in the on (out) position, provides electrical
power to the ground controls or platform controls, as appli-
cable. In addition, the switch can be used to turn off power
(push the switch IN) to the function controls in the event of
an emergency.
Starting Procedure
NOTE: Initial starting should always be performed from the
Ground Control Station.
