ION GUIDELINES
ENGINE FAILURE
HYDRAULIC PUMP FAILURE
If the primary hydraulic pump fails, use the auxiliary let down power system, if equipped.
CONTROL VALVE FAILURE
A control valve malfunction could develop in either the individual control levers or the multifunction single
stick control.
If the Aerial Device motion cannot be stopped because the control valve will not return to the centered or
neutral position, activate the emergency stop mode by pushing down the emergency stop. The emergency
stop position will disable the boom controls, which will stop the Aerial Device's motion. If the engine stop/
start control is installed, shut off the engine. The engine and the Aerial Device's motion will cease. Then
manually attempt to center the spring-loaded control lever before restarting the engine. If the spring-loaded
control lever at the platform will not return to neutral, the Aerial Device can be returned to a stowed position
by overriding the upper controls from the lower controls.
After any emergency situation, it is the operator's responsibility to notify appropriate maintenance personnel
to make sure the Aerial Device is repaired and adjusted.
Identifying the problem and initiating the recommended emergency procedures will help to minimize or
possibly prevent injuries.
OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS
PLATFORM LEVELING SYSTEM
The platform leveling system is designed to carry the rated load of the platform. Collision of the platform(s)
with a fixed object, including the ground, or attachment of any load lifting devices to the platform(s) can
damage or break the leveling system, causing the platform to be overturned. Avoidance of these hazards
and use of OSHA approved fall protection system for all personnel in the platform is essential for protection
against this type of accident.
If the prime power source fails, the optional auxiliary let down power system can be used
for emergency operation. If the auxiliary let down power system is not installed and the
vehicle has a manual transmission, then use the engine stop/start control (if so equipped)
to crank the engine.
Do not allow booms or platform to make contact with fixed objects including the ground.
Look for possible contact of booms or platform with fixed objects if you feel the platform is
not staying level.
The platform leveling mechanism is designed to carry the rated platform capacity, applied
standing over the center of the platform floor. Hoisting of material from the outer edge of
the platform, from a pole attached to and extending over the top of the platform, places
excessive loads on the leveling mechanism. This procedure could cause overturning of
the platform(s) and ejection of personnel.
All platform occupants must wear OSHA approved fall protection system.
