SECTION 5. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
5.1 GENERAL
This section provides information on the procedures to be
followed and on the systems and controls to be used in the
event an emergency situation is encountered during
machine operation. Prior to operation of the machine and
periodically thereafter, the entire operating manual, including
this section, should be reviewed by all personnel whose
responsibilities include any work or contact with the
machine.

Station and one at the Platform Control Station, will immedi-

CHECK MACHINE DAILY TO MAKE SURE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
IS IN PLACE AND THAT GROUND CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN

The Ground Control Station is located on the left side of the
machine frame. The controls on this panel provide the
means for overriding the platform controls and for controlling
the platform lift up and down functions from the ground.
Place the power select switch in the ground position and
operate the lift switch to lift up or down.
Manual Descent
The manual descent valve is used, in the event of total power
failure, to lower the platform using gravity. The manual
descent ring is located on the front of the machine frame,
between the scissor arms. The ring is connected, by a cable,
to the manual descent valve on the lift cylinder. Pulling the
manual descent ring opens the valve spool, lowering the
platform.
