Driving Controls
1. Check proposed route for possible hazards, obstructions, and personnel.
2. Push green power button.
3. Use Drive Speed selector on the basket control station to determine speed.
High Drive
(Hare) - GIVES HIGH SPEED AND LOW GRADEABILITY
Low Drive
(Tortoise) - GIVES LOW SPEED AND HIGH GRADEABILITY
N.B. High Drive
is only available when the booms are in the stowed position.
4. Select drive joy stick from the basket control box.
A. Up for
FORWARD
B. Down for
REVERSE
C. Left for
STEER LEFT
D. Right for
STEER RIGHT
5. All control levers give a fully proportional response therefore the more the lever is moved away from
the center (
OFF
) position the faster the function will become.
6. Maximum speed is only attainable when all booms are fully stowed and the
HIGH/LO
selector is in the
HIGH
position.
7. When driving with the booms fully stowed, the Tilt Alarm is bypassed to allow the Niftylift to be driven
in areas where the slope exceeds the five-degree working limit. In normal operation the drive is
therefore unaffected when driven onto a slope in excess of five-degrees, until the booms are raised,
whereupon the drive would be disabled and the lift alarm sounds continuously.
8. Under no circumstances should any Niftylift SP series be driven on slopes exceeding 25%, with
booms fully stowed.
ALL NIFTYLIFTS ARE FITTED WITH A TILT ALARM - PRE-SET IN THE FACTORY.
ONCE ALARM IS ACTIVATED, THE NIFTYLIFT WILL LOSE ALL POWER TO DRIVE
FUNCTIONS AND A LOUD AUDIBLE ALARM WILL SOUND.
TO DEACTIVATE, LOWER THE BOOMS FULLY TO STOWED POSITION AND
REPOSITION BASE ON FIRM LEVEL GROUND.
IF ALARM SOUNDS - DESCEND IMMEDIATELY AND RE-LEVEL MACHINE BASE.
