OPERA
TION
To Release Over-ride:
1. Caution – The latch is spring loaded. Keep
fingers clear to prevent pinching.
2. Slightly rotate the latch arm clockwise to remove
the load from the spring plunger.
3. While holding the latch arm, pull the spring plunger
out and rotate the “T” handle to lock the spring
plunger in the “out” position.
4. Carefully allow the latch arm to rotate counter-
clockwise under spring power until it stops.
LIFTING EYE (OPTION)
This aerial lift is designed primarily as a personnel lift.
When tools or equipment are included with the operator
in the platform the combined weight must not exceed
the rated load capacity of the aerial lift.
DANGER:
NEVER EXCEED THE
RATED LOAD CAPACITY OF THE AERIAL LIFT.
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OR INSTABILITY MAY
RESULT, CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
The optional lifting eye has been designed to
accommodate limited material handling. Always
extend the outriggers (if so equipped) and fully retract
the inner boom when using the boom lifting eye. Boom
movements should be smooth to avoid swinging the
load. Do not exceed the load limits stated on the
decal beside the lifting eye. Do not drag the load
with the lifting eye. This is a bad practice and subjects
the unit to damaging side loads. When lifting loads,
position the lower boom directly over the load before
lifting. The platform should be empty when lifting
also contact the spring-loaded platform support.
CAUTION
: FAILURE TO STOW THE
LOWER BOOM BEFORE DESCENDING THE
OUTER/INNER BOOM ASSEMBLY ON TO THE
BOOM REST WILL STRESS THE COMPONENTS
AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AERIAL
LIFT.
DANGER
: ALWAYS WATCH FOR
PERSONNEL AND OBSTRUCTIONS WHEN
STORING THE AERIAL LIFT. A CRUSHING INJURY
TO PERSONNEL OR DAMAGE TO THE UNIT CAN
OCCUR.
To complete the storing procedure secure the upper
boom with the tie down strap, retract the outriggers,
and remove the wheel chocks. Turn the electrical
control system off and disengage the PTO pump drive.
CAUTION
: TO PREVENT DAMAGE
TO THE UNIT DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL
THE AERIAL LIFT IS STORED AND THE OUTER
BOOM IS SECURED WITH THE BOOM TIE DOWN
STRAP.
CAUTION
: DRIVING WITH THE PTO
ENGAGED MAY DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION,
PUMP, AND THE PTO.
AUTO BOOM LATCH (Optional) – The automatic
boom latch is designed to open automatically when
the lift is operated. Stay clear of the latch as it may
move at any time depending on the hydraulic system
pressure.
Manual over-ride – In case of hydraulic system
failure, the auto boom latch may be operated manually.
Over-ride Procedure:
1. Danger – Make sure the hydraulic power source
is off.
2. Release the spring plunger by rotating the “T”
handle.
3. Manually rotate the latch arm 90° clockwise until
it snaps and is held by the spring plunger.
