TRAVEL WITH THE PLATFORM ELEVATED
NOTE: The machine will travel at reduced speed when the platform is elevated.
1.
Check that the route is clear of obstacles (persons, obstructions, holes, drop-offs, bumps and
debris) and capable of supporting the wheel load.
2. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of the platform.
3. Select DRIVE mode.
4. Engage the safety interlock trigger on the joystick and move forward or reverse to travel in the
desired direction. The speed of the machine will vary depending on how far from centre the joy-
stick is moved.
5. If the machine is not level, the tilt alarm will sound and the machine will not lift or drive. If the
tilt alarm sounds, the platform must be lowered and the platform levelled (see below) before at-
tempting to re-elevate the platform.
LEVELLING THE PLATFORM
The auto level feature is designed to level the platform in a situation where the ground has no more
than a 13 degree slope side to side and 9 degrees front and back. If the slope is greater than 13
degrees side to side and 9 degrees front and back, the “auto level” feature will not function. The tilt
alarm will continue to sound until the platform is level.
1.
Check that the route is clear of obstacles (persons, obstructions, holes, drop-offs, bumps and
debris) and capable of supporting wheel load.
2. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of the platform.
3. Elevate the platform approximately 600 mm (2 ft).
4. Press and hold the “auto level” and engage the safety interlock trigger until the platform is level,
the tilt alarm is silenced and the tilt LED extinguished.
5. The machine can now be driven within the limits of the tilt sensor. If the terrain changes, the ma-
chine will stop and the platform must be lowered and re-levelled.
NOTE: This machine has a floating axle which locks when elevated above approximately 2
m (6 ft). If the machine is elevated and the ground slope causes the floating axle to be out of
level when compared to the fixed axle, drive will be disabled. This will be indicated by the tilt
LED flashing red. In this event, lower the platform below 2 m (6 ft) to enable drive.
HOUR METER
The runtime hours are displayed on the chassis control panel.
