CAB CONTROL OPERATION
MASTER CONTROL
The master control is located in the cab of the vehicle and has a toggle switch on the dashboard. The toggle
switch is used to energize the engine stop/start system and the throttle control options, which may be
located in the cab, at the platform, or on the pedestal. When the light is lit, the toggle switch is energizing
these systems. If the unit is not equipped with engine stop/start, two-speed throttle or 12V hydraulic power, it
will not require a master control.
CAB CONTROLS
ENGINE STOP/START (OPTIONAL)
The engine stop/start is a push button control and is usually mounted on the dashboard of the vehicle. To
start the engine press the button and hold in for a moment until the engine starts, then release. To stop, or
shut off, the engine, press the button again.
POWER TAKE-OFF (OPTIONAL)
The power take-off (PTO) is a gearbox used to transmit power from the vehicle transmission to the hydraulic
pump, which provides hydraulic oil for the Aerial Device functions. The power take-off control can be a
switch on the dash, for electric control systems, or a “push-pull” knob, (usually mounted on the cab floor) and
a red light mounted in the vehicle dashboard. When lit, this red (PTO) dash light indicates the PTO is
activated and serves to remind the operator not to drive the vehicle with the PTO engaged.
To engage the power take-off properly, refer to the PTO manufacturer's operating instructions and be sure
the manufacturer's operating decals are posted in the cab with the PTO controls.
NOTE: Typical controls are illustrated. Each installation may be unique depending on
configuration and options.
Be sure the vehicle transmission is in neutral, the brakes are applied and the
wheels are chocked before engaging the PTO or using the engine stop/start.
Driving with the PTO engaged may damage both the pump and the PTO.
