Hourmeter: 

The hourmeter records total MEWP 

operation time.

3.5-3  AC power socket on the platform

The AC power socket is a source of AC power on the 
platform when the plug at the base is connected to a 
generator or an external power supply. 

3.5-4  Battery charger

The charger is at the front of the base. Refer to 

 

Section 6.6

 

for battery charging instructions.

3.5-5  Motion alarm

The alarm makes a sound when a control function 
operates. On some MEWPs, an amber flashing light 
goes with this alarm.

3.5-6  Platform maintenance lock

The platform 

has a locking mechanism

 located below 

the platform.

Platform maintenance lock: 

When it is 

engaged, you can move the platform to the 
maintenance position and open the hydraulic/
electrical compartment. When the platform is in 
the maintenance position, all MEWP functions 
are disabled.

 WARNING

The MEWP can move when you engage the 
diagnostic switch. If you use it incorrectly, death, 
serious injury, and/or MEWP damage can occur.
