TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IF ANY
CONTROL LEVERS OR TOGGLE SWITCHES CONTROLLING
PLATFORM MOVEMENT DO NOT RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION
WHEN RELEASED.
23. Rotate (If equipped).
The three position PLATFORM ROTATE control
switch permits rotation of the platform when posi-
tioned to LEFT or RIGHT.

Platform Station - May 1994 to Present
NOTE: Some machines are equipped with control panels
that use symbols to indicate control functions. Refer
to Figure 3-11., Common Symbols - Sheet 1, Figure
3-12., Common Symbols - Sheet 2, Figure 3-13.,
Common Symbols - Sheet 3, and Figure 3-14., Com-
mon Symbols - Sheet 4 for these symbols and the
corresponding functions.
NOTE: For engine starting, the footswitch must be in the
released (up) position. Footswitch must be actuated
in order for controls to function.
1. Footswitch.
This feature makes it necessary to depress the foot-
switch to allow operation of the controls.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT REMOVE, MODIFY OR DIS-
ABLE THE FOOTSWITCH BY BLOCKING OR ANY OTHER MEANS.
THE FOOTSWITCH MUST BE ADJUSTED SO THAT FUNCTIONS
WILL OPERATE WHEN THE PEDAL IS APPROXIMATELY AT ITS
CENTER OF TRAVEL. IF THE SWITCH OPERATES WITHIN LAST 1/
4" OF TRAVEL, TOP OR BOTTOM, IT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED.
2. Power/Emergency Stop.
An on-off POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch and
a separate START push button on the platform con-
sole supply electrical power to the starter solenoid,
when the power switch is pulled out to the “on”
position and the START button is depressed.
3. Start Button.
The START button is a momentary contact, push-
button switch. With the POWER/EMERGENCY
STOP switch pulled up and the START button
depressed, electrical power is supplied to the start
solenoid.
4. Warning Horn.
A push-type HORN switch, when pressed, supplies
electrical power to activate the horn.
5. Chassis Out of Level Warning Light.
This red indicator lights to indicate that the chassis
is on a slope (over 5 degrees). If illuminated when
boom is raised or extended, retract and lower to
below horizontal then reposition the machine so
that it is level before extending the boom or raising
the boom above horizontal.
IF THE CHASSIS OUT OF LEVEL WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMI-
NATED WHEN THE BOOM IS RAISED OR EXTENDED, RETRACT
AND LOWER THE PLATFORM TO BELOW HORIZONTAL THEN
REPOSITION THE MACHINE SO IT IS LEVEL BEFORE EXTENDING
BOOM OR RAISING THE BOOM ABOVE HORIZONTAL.
NOTE: LIFT, SWING, and DRIVE control levers or switches
are spring-loaded and will automatically return to the
neutral (OFF) position when released.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE IF
ANY CONTROL LEVERS OR TOGGLE SWITCHES CONTROLLING
THE PLATFORM MOVEMENT DO NOT RETURN TO THE OFF OR
NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN RELEASED.
6. Lift.
The MAIN LIFT controller (proportional controls) or
MAIN LIFT control lever (hydraulic controls) pro-
vides raising and lowering of the boom when posi-
tioned to up or down.
