Test the Slow Drive Speed
We require that this procedure be performed
every 250 hours or quarterly, whichever
comes first.
Proper drive functions are essential to safe
machine operation. The drive function should
respond quickly and smoothly to operator
control. Drive performance should also be free
of hesitation, jerking and unusual noise over
the entire proportionally controlled speed
range.
Perform this procedure with the machine on a
firm, level surface that is free of obstructions.
1 Create start and finish lines by marking
two lines on the ground 12.2 m apart.
2 Turn the key switch to platform control and
pull out the red Emergency Stop button to
the on position at both the ground and
platform controls.
3 Lower the platform to the stowed position.
4 Press the slow speed select button.
5 Choose a point on the machine; i.e.,
contact patch of a tire, as a visual
reference for use when crossing the start
and finish lines.
6 Bring the machine to top drive speed
before reaching the start line. Begin timing
when your reference point on the machine
crosses the start line.
7 Continue at full speed and note the time
when your reference point on the machine
passes over the finish line.The time is less
than 32 sec.
