Low Fuel Indicator:
When illuminated the fuel tank is 1/8 full or less. When the light first turns on,
there are approximately four usable gallons of fuel remaining.
Platform Leveling Override:
The PLATFORM LEVEL control switch allows the operator to adjust the level of the
platform by positioning the switch to UP or DOWN.
Platform Rotate:
The PLATFORM ROTATE control switch allows the operator to rotate the basket to
the left or right when positioned to the desired direction.
Power/Emergency Stop Switch:
An ON-OFF POWER/EMERGENCY STOP switch and a separate ENGINE START/
AUXILIARY POWER toggle switch on the platform console supply electrical power
to the starter solenoid, when the power/emergency stop switch is pulled out to
the “ON” position and the ENGINE START switch is pushed forward. Push in to
shut off engine and remove power from the controls. The power/emergency
stop switch must be pulled out in the cab to operate either from the cab or
platform control. This allows the machine to be shut down in emergency
situations.
Steer Select:
The center switch position gives conventional front wheel steering with the rear
wheels unaffected. This is the best position for driving at maximum speeds. The
forward position is for “crab” steering. When in this mode both front and rear
axles steer in the same direction, which allows the chassis to move sideways.
This can be used for positioning the machine in aisle ways or against buildings.
The back switch position is for “coordinated” steering. In this mode the front and
rear axles steer in the opposite directions to produce the tightest turning circle
for maneuvering in confined areas. If the steer select switch located in the cab is
not set to front wheel steer, the platform steer select switch will not change the
steering mode.
Sway Control Switch:
The sway control switch allows the operator to level the machine. Operator must
position machine and level prior to raising work platform.
Tilt Alarm Warning Light:
This orange illuminator indicates 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 machine so that it is level before extending boom or
raising boom above horizontal. If the boom is above horizontal and the machine
is on a 5 degree slope, an alarm will sound and CREEP mode is automatically
activated.
