4.3 MACHINE SET-UP AND OPERATION
The following sequence of set-up procedures must be fol-
lowed to safely operate this machine.
1. Position machine in work area. Work area must be a
smooth, firm surface on which machine is capable of
being leveled.
NOTE: If AC powered machine, connect machine to a
grounded AC receptical with a heavy duty extension
cord equipped with an equipment grounding conduc-
tor, also the cord must be capable of handling the
maximum amperage draw of the machine’s electric
pump motor.
If DC powered machine, be sure battery box assem-
bly is installed, battery is charged and connected to
the machine’s DC receptacle.
2. Set Power On/Off Key Switch to the ON position at
the ground control station.
3. Check if both Emergency Stop Switches, one on
platform control station and one on ground control
station are in reset position for operation.
4. Install outriggers, see steps following.
Outrigger Installation
(See Figure 4-1.)
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, OUTRIGGER BEAMS ARE DESIGNED
TO FIT A SPECIFIC MODEL LINE. THIS PREVENTS SHORTER OUT-
RIGGER BEAMS USED ON THE 20EL/25EL FROM BEING USED ON
THE 30EL AND 36EL/41EL MODELS WHICH REQUIRE A LONGER
OUTRIGGER.
1. Start on either side of machine and remove an out-
rigger beam from the stowage socket on either side
of mast behind platform.
2. Insert the outrigger beam into the outrigger socket
on the base frame with the outrigger interlock con-
tact on the bottom (i.e. with jackscrew foot pad
down and jack handle up). Insert each outrigger
beam in the socket until the locking pin on the side
of the outrigger socket snaps into the outrigger
beam detent. Do this for each outrigger.
