5.6 TRAVEL ALARM
A 12-volt alarm horn, mounted on the turntable, provides
an audible warning when the machine is in the travel
(DRIVE) mode. It will function in FORWARD or REVERSE
to warn jobsite personnel the machine is traveling.
5.7 TILT ALARM
Senses when the machine is out of level in any direction
approximately 3 degrees and illuminates a warning light at
the platform control station and sounds the machine’s
horn, signaling the operator. A second switch mounted on
the machine senses when the machine is out of level 5
degrees and will cut out two speed drive when activated.
5.8 ELECTRIC GENERATOR
An electric generator mounted on the machine functions
to supply electrical power to the platform. This device will
provide enough power to run assorted power tools.
5.9 FOAM FILLED TIRES
Eliminates flats by filling tires with polyurethane foam. For
use where sharp objects are frequently encountered on
operating surface of jobsite.
5.10 ROTATING BEACON
An amber or red rotating beacon may be installed on the
hood or platform, and can be controlled by a two position
toggle switch mounted on the platform control console.
When the switch is placed in the ON position, the light is
activated and provides a visual warning to the machine’s
operation.
5.11 CYLINDER BELLOWS
A one piece accordion shaped rubber bellows may be
attached to the rod end of the cylinder barrel and to the
cylinder rod as close to the rod attach bushing as possi-
ble. The bellows affords protection to the cylinder rod in
either the extended or retracted position. The bellows are
installed on the lift cylinder, slave cylinder, master cylinder
and steer cylinder.
5.12 BOOM WIPERS
A one piece U-shaped neoprene strip, be attached to the
front of the base boom section, wipes the top and both
sides of the fly section. The bottom side of the fly section
is protected by a straight neoprene strip which also
attaches to the base section.
5.13 HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT PACKAGE
The hostile environment package provides additional pro-
tection against the entry of dust, dirt, sand and other abra-
sive materials into the hydraulic system, control handles
and switches, cylinders, boom wire ropes and wear pads,
and the air inlet of the engine. The package is intended for
machines that will be exposed to painting, sandblasting or
other similar hostile conditions. The hostile environment
package includes boom wipers, cylinder bellows, heavy
duty reservoir breather, an engine air cleaner and control
console cover, as required.
5.14 MOTION ALARM
A motion alarm horn provides an audible warning when
the platform controls are selected at the PLATFORM/
GROUND SELECT switch, the POWER/EMERGENCY
STOP switch is ON, and the footswitch is depressed. The
alarm warns personnel in the jobsite area to avoid the
operating machine.
5.15 FOUR WHEEL STEER
Provides spindles at all wheels. Front wheels are steered
by a toggle switch as usual. Rear wheels are controlled by
a thumb-rocker on top of drive controller.
5.16 SOFT TOUCH PROXIMITY SYSTEM
The soft touch system incorporates a lower padded rail,
slightly larger than and encompassing the platform, sus-
pended beneath the platform. A proximity switch is
attached to the center of the rail beneath the platform
floor. The proximity switch is set so that any time the lower
rail comes into contact with an object, electrical power is
cut off to the platform controls, shutting down all func-
tions. To restore machine functions, the operator must
press and hold the PUSH TO OVERRIDE button, located
on the platform control console, and select the proper
function to move the platform clear of the object. In addi-
tion to the lower rail, all stationary outside platform rails
are padded.
