released (up) position. Footswitch must be actuated
in order for controls to function.

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.

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.

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 THAT IT IS LEVEL BEFORE
EXTENDING THE BOOM OR RAISING THE BOOM ABOVE HORI-
ZONTAL.

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
PLATFORM MOVEMENT DO NOT RETURN TO THE OFF OR NEU-
TRAL POSITION WHEN RELEASED.
