SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION
4.1 DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled 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. From
this control station, the operator can drive and steer the
machine in both forward and reverse directions. The operator
can raise or lower the main or tower boom or swing the boom
to the left or right. Standard boom swing is 360 degree contin-
uous left and right of the stowed position. The machine has a
Ground Control Station which will override the Platform Con-
trol Station. Ground Controls operate Boom Lift and Swing,
and 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.
