Controls to position the platform are located on the lower
control panel on the chassis and on the upper control
panel in the platform. Drive controls are located on the
upper control panel only.
Battery Disconnect Switch
The battery disconnect is located next to the latch on the

rial platform. Unqualified personnel may cause in-
jury to coworkers or property damage. Lock the
battery disconnect switch in the off position before

cuits. Pull the button out to restore power.
Control Selector Switch
Place the control selector switch in the down position to
operate aerial platform functions from the lower con-
trols. The upper controls will not operate while the con-
trol selector is in the lower position.
Place the selector switch in the up position to operate
the aerial platform functions from the upper controls.
Platform Raise/Lower Switch
Pull up on the platform switch toward the white arrow to
raise the platform. Release the switch when the desired
height is reached.
Push down on the switch toward the black arrow to lower
the platform. The lowering alarm will sound as the plat-

Circuit Breaker Reset Buttons
The lower control panel electrical system has a circuit
breaker in its power line. The circuit breakers protect the
electrical wiring and components from electrical over-
load in case of a short circuit or other fault.
A tripped circuit breaker indicates a malfunction in
the electrical system. Component damage can re-
sult if the cause of the malfunction is not corrected.
Do not operate the aerial platform if the circuit
breaker trips repeatedly.
Push the button to reset the circuit breaker.
