traction is a problem. Do not try to operate the drive,
lift, and powered deck extension functions simulta-
neously. If the drive, lift and powered deck extension
functions are selected simultaneously, no function
will operate. If this occurs, pause, then press only
one of the function switches to activate the function.
WHEN TRAVELING A GRADE, MAXIMUM TRACTION IS OBTAINED
BY TRAVELING IN REVERSE. REVERSE TRAVEL SHOULD BE
USED WHEN LOADING ON A TRUCK OR WHEN ADEQUATE
TRACTION IS NOT ACHIEVED BY TRAVELING FORWARD.
Traveling in Reverse
1. Position power selector switch at ground control sta-
tion to platform.
2. Position emergency stop switch at platform control
station to on position.
3. Press drive switch, in conjunction with the trigger
switch, and move joystick rearward (reverse) and
hold for duration of travel. Drive speed is determined
by the distance the joystick is moved from the center
off position. The drive switch is part of the enable cir-
cuit, which supplies power to the drive switch and
the joystick for 3 seconds after the drive switch is
pressed. If the joystick is not activated within 3 sec-
onds after the drive switch is pressed, power is
removed from the switch and joystick and the switch
must be pressed again before activating the joystick.
When the joystick is returned to the center off posi-
tion, the operator has 3 seconds to re-activate the
joystick or select another function before power is
removed by the enable circuit. DO NOT activate the
high drive speed switch when traveling in
reverse.
