SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION
4.1 DESCRIPTION
This machine is a hydraulic personnel lift equipped with a work
platform on the end of an elevating and rotating boom.
The primary operator control station is in the platform. The
operator can control drive, steer, boom/platform functions and
outriggers. The machine has a Ground Control Station which
will override the Platform Control Station. Ground Controls
operate boom and platform functions. They 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 con-
trol station is to be used for a Pre-Start Inspection too.
This machine is equipped with an ALL MOTION alarm warning
system to alert other personnel in the work area of any
machine movement during operation. The motion alarm sys-
tem is activated during machine function movement such as
track, boom, or outrigger operation.
4.2 BOOM OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS AND
LIMITATIONS
Capacities
The boom can be raised from the transport position with or
without any load in platform, if:
• Machine is positioned on a firm surface and outriggers
set properly with the outrigger pads on horizontal sur-
faces.
• Load is within manufacturer's rated capacity.
• All machine systems are functioning properly.
Stability
In addition to the conditions listed above under Capacities,
machine stability also depends on the following:
• A work surface capable of supporting the machine and a
slope within machine leveling specifications.
• Platform is only operated within its work area specifica-
tion for rated load and boom reach. (See Figure 4-4., Fig-
ure 4-5., and Figure 4-7.)
