Drive Control Lever Operation
Depending on the orientation of the boom and chassis, the Drive and Steer
functions may move the machine in directions opposite of the motion of the
control lever. The color- and shape-coded arrows on the control lever decal
correspond to similar arrow decals on the machine chassis (see illustrations).
Be sure to check the arrows on the chassis before activating and using the
Drive or Steer functions.
•Drive Function speed is proportional and is controlled by the positional
of the control lever. The further it is moved from the neutral (center)
position, the faster the speed will be.
•When the boom is elevated out of the stowed position, the maximum
drive speed is reduced to 0.5 mph (0.8 km/h). Drive function speed is still
fully proportional to the position of the drive control handle.
•The control lever returns to the neutral (center) position when released.
•Steering Function is not proportional.
Note:
The Steering Function
does not
automatically return the steering
wheels to the centered position. Always check the position of the steering
wheels before and during machine operation.
Test Operation
• Drive: Squeeze the enable trigger, then move the control lever in the desired
direction of movement. The further it is moved from the neutral (center)
position, the faster the speed will be.
• Stop: Return the control lever to the neutral (center) position. Releasing the
control lever will also stop the machine. Releasing the trigger will result in a
rapid stop.
• Extend the boom approximately 3 feet (1 m), then drive the machine. Speed
should be reduced significantly from the fully-retracted, fully-lowered speed.
Retract the boom.
• Elevate the boom approximately 10°, then drive the machine. Speed should
be reduced significantly from the fully-retracted, fully-lowered speed. Lower
the boom.
• Steering: Squeeze the enable trigger, then press the thumb switch on top of the
control lever to steer in the desired direction.
Note:
The Steering Function
does not
automatically return the steering wheels
to the centered position. Stay alert to the position of the steering wheels
before and during machine operation.
