SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION
4.1 DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift equipped with a
work platform on the end of an elevating, articulating and
rotating boom.
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 opera-
tor can raise or lower the boom or swing the boom to the left
or right. Standard boom swing is 360 degree non continuous
left and right of the stowed position. The machine has a
Ground Control Station which will override the Platform Con-
trol Station. Ground Controls operate Boom Lift and Swing,
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. The Ground Control is also to be used in Pre-Start
Inspection.
