1.
Emergency Stop
: Press the red
EMERGENCY STOP button in, at any time,
under any conditions, and the entire machine
stops, and nothing moves. This switch must
be out (on) for anything on the MHP to work.
Pull the switch and it will pop out (on).
2.
Platform/Ground Selector
: Must be in the
GROUND position (down) for the ground
controls to work. The switch MUST be in the
PLATFORM position (up) for the platform
controls to work.
3.
Choke/Cold Start
: Hold the switch UP while
you start an engine that is at ambient air
temperature (a "cold" engine). This will choke
the engine.
4.
Master Key Switch
: This switch works like
an automobile ignition switch. Hold it at
START until the engine starts, then release it
to ON. (-) Turn the
Master Key Switch
to
OFF (O) if the platform is to stay in one
position for a long time, that will turn the
engine off and save fuel.
5.
Stabiliser / Boom Selector Switch
:
Must be in Stabiliser (outrigger) position
(down) for the outriggers to work. Once
outriggers are down and set the switch must
be placed in the boom (up) position for the
booms to work.
6.
Lift Enable
: The platform can only be raised
when this light is lit. When this light is not lit
the platform will not raise because the
stabilisers are not properly set.
7.
Height Lockout Switch:
This switch (when
fitted), limits the maximum height of the
boom to 10.9 metres (see Options Chapter).
