P8.2

Engine Start/Auxiliary Power:

Engine Start

Push “UP” on Engine Start/Auxiliary Power switch to start engine. If engine fails
to start within 20 seconds, release Engine Start/Auxiliary Power switch and
allow starting motor to cool for a few minutes before trying again. For engine
starting, the footswitch must be in the released (up) position.

Auxiliary Power

A toggle-type Engine Start/Auxiliary Power control switch energizes the
electrically operated hydraulic pump, when actuated. (Switch must be held
“DOWN” for duration of auxiliary pump use.) The auxiliary pump functions to
provide sufficient oil flow to operate the basic machine functions should the
main pump or engine fail. The auxiliary pump will operate boom lift, telescope
and rotate. It should be noted that the functions will operate at a slower than
normal rate.

Auxiliary power is primarily intended for platform lowering in the event of primary
power failure. However, auxiliary power may be used for platform positioning
when operating in close quarters in the following sequence:

1. Position CONTROL STATION SELECT switch to PLATFORM.
2. Position POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch to ON.
3. Depress and hold footswitch.
4. Position AUXILIARY POWER switch to ON and hold.
5. Operate appropriate control switch or lever for desired function and hold.
6. Release AUXILIARY POWER switch, selected control switch or lever, and

footswitch.

7. Position POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch to OFF.

Footswitch:

This feature makes it necessary to depress the footswitch to allow operation

of the platform controls.

Function Speed:

The knob provides variable speed control of all boom functions grouped together

to the right of the knob. For smoothest operation of these functions, use two

hands: rotate the knob counterclockwise to the slowest position, select the

function switch, and while holding the switch on, rotate the knob to the desired

speed. To achieve a smooth stop, rotate the knob counterclockwise to a slow

speed prior to letting go of the function switch. Rotating the knob fully

counterclockwise until a click is heard puts all controls, including drive, main

lift, and swing into “creep” speed. This slow speed is used for fine positioning

of the platform when close to obstacles. A snail symbol is used to indicate

“creep” speed and is shown at the Function Speed knob as well as near the

proportional controllers to act as a reminder.

Horn:

A push-type HORN switch activates an audible warning device when pressed.

Lights Indicator:

Illuminated when lights are turned on.

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.

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury, do not

remove, modify or disable the
footswitch by blocking or any other

means.

Footswitch must be depressed prior
to activating any function control,

otherwise the function will not

operate.

WARNING

!

Footswitch must be adjusted so that

functions will operate when pedal is

approximately at its center of travel.
If switch operates within last 1/4”

of travel, top or bottom, it should

be adjusted.

CAUTION

!

NOTE!

NOTE!

When the boom is raised

approximately 7 degrees above

horizontal, the high drive function
will automatically switch to low

drive. This also occurs when

Function Speed Control is set to
creep.

NOTE!

The main function of auxiliary

power is to lower the platform in
the event of primary power

failure.
