The Operator Presence system uses a switch in the operator platform to detect the
presence of an operator. The operator must be standing on the operator presence foot
plate
(1) for the ground drive, lift/tilt functions, or auxiliary attachment drive to be
engaged.
If the operator leaves the platform while the ground drive, lift/tilt functions, and/or
attachment drive are engaged, these functions will stop. If
Lift/Tilt Joystick is in
FLOAT, it will continue to lower/float. The Auxiliary Attachment Drive Lever must be
returned to OFF before ground drive, lift/tilt, and attachment drive can be re-engaged.
The Operator Presence system is intended for your safety and must be maintained in
good functional condition. Contact your Vermeer dealer if it does not function
correctly.
