Test the Drive Brakes
Proper brake action is essential to safe machine
operation. The drive brake function should operate
smoothly, free of hesitation, jerking and unusual
noise. Hydraulically-released individual wheel
brakes can appear to operate normally when not
fully operational.
Perform this procedure with the
machine on a flat, level surface
that is free of obstructions.
Be sure the platform extension
deck is fully retracted and the
platform is in the stowed position.
1 Mark a test line on the ground for reference.
2 Turn the key switch to platform control and pull
out the Emergency Stop button to the on
position at both the ground and platform
controls.
