Raising And Lowering Platform
1. If the machine was shut down, place the key selector switch
to the desired position (platform or ground).
2. Position emergency stop switches, one at the platform and
one at the ground control station to the ON position.
3. Position the lift/drive
select switch to lift. (Item
10 - Figure 3-6.)
4. Squeeze and hold the trig-
ger switch, and move the
joystick back (platform up -
white arrow direction) or move the joystick forward (plat-
form down - black arrow direction) and hold until desired
elevation is reached. Releasing the trigger switch or moving
the joystick back to it’s center position will stop the function
being operated. (Item 1 and 3 - Figure 3-7.)
NOTE: To ensure proper operation of the desired platform function,
move the joystick in the direction of the black or white arrow
that matches the color of the arrow on the chassis for the
intended direction of travel.
Arm Guards
If the machine is equipped with arm guards, the platform will stop low-
ering and an alarm will sound once it has reached a preset height. At
this point, the joystick must be returned to the neutral position and the
trigger switch released before the lowering function can begin again.
Overload Indicator (If Equipped) -
(Item 6 - Figure 3-6.)
Indicates the platform has been overloaded.
An audible alarm will also signal when the
platform is overloaded.
NOTE:
If the Overload Indicator is illuminated, all functions will be pre-
vented from the platform and ground controls. Reduce the
weight in the platform to not exceed the rated workload indi-
cated on the capacity decal.
