Maxiton GTJZ
If the drive speed with the platform raised exceeds
0.8km/h, immediately tag and remove the machine from
service.
Test the Tilt Sensor Operation
Note: Perform this test from the ground with the
platform controller. Do not stand in the platform.
34 Fully lower the platform.
35 Place a 2x4 or similar piece of wood under both
wheels on one side and drive the machine up onto
them.
36 Raise the platform approximately 3.5 m from the
ground.
37 Lower the platform and remove both pieces of
wood.
Test the Pothole Guards
Note: The pothole guards should automatically deploy
when the platform is raised. The pothole guards activate
two limit switches which control the machine drive
speed. If the pothole guards do not deploy and the
platform is raised above 3.5 m, an alarm sounds and
the machine will not drive.
38Raise the platform.
Result: When the platform is raised 3.5 m from the
ground, the pothole guards should deploy.
39 Press on the pothole guards on one side, and then
the other.
Result: The pothole guards should not move.
40 Lower the platform.
Result: The pothole guards should return to the stowed
position.

pothole guard. Raise the platform.
Result: Before the platform is raised 3.5 m from the
ground, an alarm should sound and the drive function
should not work.
