POWER LINES AND APPARATUS WILL CAUSE
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The accumulation of dirt and moisture on insulated
booms degrades the insulation. Be sure the booms
are clean and dry. Remember that the inside of a
boom may be wet even when the outside is dry. Any
equipment which bridges between the platform and
the ground voids the insulation and must be avoided
when working near areas of electrical hazard.
DANGER:
EQUIPMENT WHICH BRIDGES
BETWEEN THE PLATFORM AND GROUND
RENDERS THE INSULATION USELESS AND MAY
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY IN THE
EVENT OF AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DANGER:
GIVE WARNING AND NEVER
ALLOW ANYONE ON THE GROUND TO TOUCH
THE UNIT WHEN THE LIFT IS BEING USED
TO WORK ON OR NEAR ELECTRICAL LINES.
IF THE UNIT BECOMES ENERGIZED DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY WILL RESULT FROM
CONTACT WITH THE UNIT.
DANGER:
CONTACT BETWEEN AN
ELECTRICALLY CHARGED WIRE AND A METAL
PART OF THE BOOM MAY CAUSE THE WIRE
TO BURN THROUGH, LETTING THE TWO WIRE
ENDS FALL TOWARD THE GROUND. THIS
WILL CAUSE DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO
INDIVIDUALS ON THE GROUND.
As previously stated, it is the responsibility of
the operator and the ground crew to know and
understand the capabilities and limitations of the
aerial lift and hazards associated with operation near
electric lines or components. In addition they must
apply this knowledge to situations that arise on the
job for safe and efficient operation.
CAB CONTROL OPERATION
The cab controls include the master control, the
engine start/stop control, and the PTO shifter.
MASTER CONTROL (Standard) - The master
control consists of a toggle switch and a light
mounted on the dashboard of the truck. The toggle
switch is used to energize or de-energize the start/
stop system and the throttle control options. When
the light is lit the toggle switch is energizing these
systems.
ENGINE START/STOP (Standard) - The engine
start/stop is a push button control that is usually
mounted on the dashboard of the truck. The system
is activated by pushing and holding the button
momentarily to “start” the engine. If the engine does
not crank then the start/stop button may require a
second push to get the latching relay into the “start”
position so the truck engine will turn over. Then to
turn the engine off press the start/stop button again.
This feature is especially convenient when the lift is
being operated from the lower (turret) controls.
DANGER:
THE TRUCK TRANSMISSION
MUST BE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK BEFORE
USING THE ENGINE START/STOP. STARTING
THE ENGINE WITH THE TRUCK IN GEAR WILL
CAUSE MOVEMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY TO THE OPERATOR OR
ANYONE IN THE PATH OF THE TRUCK.
POWER-TAKE-OFF(PTO) (If So Equipped.) - The
power-take-off is a gearbox used to transmit power
from the truck transmission to the hydraulic pump,
providing hydraulic oil for the aerial lift functions.
The PTO control consists of a toggle switch and a
red light mounted in the truck dashboard. When the
red (PTO) indicator is lighted the PTO is activated.
The operator must never drive the truck with the
PTO engaged.
CAUTION:
DRIVING WITH THE PTO
ENGAGED MAY DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION,
PUMP, AND/OR THE PTO.
To engage the PTO properly refer to the operating
instructions located in the PTO manufacturer’s
owner manual. If the PTO control is not responding
properly or if the manufacturer’s operating decals
are not posted in the cab (near the control) notify
the appropriate personnel for correction.
GROUND CONTROL OPERATION
The Versalift ground controls may include one or
more of the following controls: outrigger, outrigger/
boom interlock, and tool power. Ground controls
are usually mounted on panels in the rear bumper
of the truck or below the deck. Descriptions and
