Movement of the joystick in a given direction produces
a corresponding movement of the aerial platform. The
steering and drive functions may be operated separately
or simultaneously.
Interlock Switch
The joystick has an interlock switch in the handle (refer
to Figure 7.3).
y
Engage the interlock by grasping the joystick and
pulling the switch toward the handle.
y
Engage the interlock to activate the steering, drive,
or lift functions.
Steer Switch
The steer switch (refer to Figure 7.3) is a momentary
contact, rocker switch on top of the drive joystick. This
switch controls the two front wheels to steer the aerial
platform.
y
To steer to the right, engage the interlock switch on
the joystick and hold down the right side of the steer
switch.
y
To steer to the left, engage the interlock switch on the
joystick and hold down the left side of the steer switch.
Note
The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the steer-
ing wheels straight ahead after completing a turn.
Drive Range Switch
The drive range switch (refer to Figure 7.3) has two po-
sitions to select drive wheel operation:
y
High (Rabbit) – for normal driving conditions
y
Low (Turtle) – for driving on grades up to 25 percent
that require low speed and high torque operation, where
high range is not sufficient to climb the grade.
Note
Some early model S3219E and S3220E machines were
not equipped with a drive range switch.

control box on the platform guardrail. Drive functions
may be operated from this location when loading the
machine. The loading controls may be a fixed side drive
