8. Lift/Drive Select - This toggle switch is used to select
either drive or lift. After selecting a function, the con-
troller must be moved in the proper direction in order
to activate that function. The function must be
selected with the joystick in the neutral position. Oth-
erwise, the function select will not occur.
9. Horn - This push-button switch, when activated, per-
mits the operator to warn jobsite personnel when the
machine is operating in the area.
10. Steer Switch - The steer switch is a thumb operated
switch located at the top of the control handle.
Depressing the switch to the right will steer the
wheels to the right. Depressing the switch to the left
will steer the wheels to the left.
11. Controller - The control handle controls three func-
tions: drive, lift, and steer. The drive and lift switch
must be selected prior to moving the control handle.
After selecting the drive function, moving the control
handle forward will drive the machine forward and
moving the control handle backwards will drive the
machine backward. After selecting the lift function,
moving the control handle backward will raise the
platform and moving the control handle forward will
lower the platform. The speed on all selected func-
tions is proportionally controlled by the distance of
travel of the hand controller. The thumb-operated
steer switch on top of the hand controller activates the
steer wheels in the direction activated (right or left).
12. Emergency Stop Switch - A two-position, red, mush-
room-shaped emergency stop switch functions to

the event of an emergency. With the power selector
switch positioned to platform, power is turned on by
pulling the switch out (on), and is turned off by push-
ing the switch in (off ).
13. Trigger Switch - This switch is located on the front of
the controller. The trigger switch acts as an enable and

and lift functions. When released, the function being
operated will stop.
