When the upper boom up or the lower boom down motion is stopped by the limit valves it may be necessary
to lower the upper boom or raise the lower boom slightly to reset the valves.
All boom movements should be smooth. Avoid jerking by slowly metering the control valves when starting
and stopping all motions. Be aware of the elbow and boom positions to prevent contact. Start and stop all
boom movements by "feathering" the controls for smooth operation. Lift the upper boom then the lower
boom off the rest and elevate it high enough to clear all body obstructions before rotating This Aerial Device
is equipped with a collector block oil distribution center in the turntable, which permits the continuous rotation
of the boom in either direction without stops.
The Platform can be brought to ground level for loading and unloading. Raise the Upper Boom enough to
clear then raise the Lower Boom. By extending the Upper Boom Extension you can bring the platform to
ground level. It is recommended that this position be used to load tools, equipment, and for normal operator
entry.
UNSTORE THE BOOM
Before attempting to raise the booms, remove all boom hold down straps. Ensure area overhead is clear and
raise upper boom before raising lower boom. Raise booms sufficiently to clear all obstructions before
rotating.
Make certain that all personnel are in the clear and that there is sufficient overhead
clearance before operating the Aerial Device.
