Lowering Interrupt
Center the joystick in neutral to reset the lowering function, then continue to lower the platform.
Overload Protection
When the load in the platform is near or at rated capacity, an alarm will sound and the red light on the upper
controls will flash.
The alarm and light warn the operator that the platform is close to becoming overloaded. All functions
remain fully operational.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a
tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated on the platform rating placard.
If the platform is fully lowered and is overloaded, when it is elevated a control module will stop the lift and
drive functions and the alarm will sound and the warning light will flash. The platform can still be lowered
to remove the excess load.
If the platform is elevated and material is added to the platform overloading it, a control module will stop the
lift, drive and lower functions.In this case, remove the load in excess of rated capacity and cycle the
emergency stop button at the upper controls to return to normal operation.
Extending
The platform can be extended and securely locked into position. Use the following procedure to extend or
retract the platform.
Caution
The extension deck is free to move when the pin is removed. Personal injury may result from
extending the platform deck while the aerial platform is on a slope. Do not attempt to extend or
retract the platform unless the aerial platform is on a level surface.
1.
Step on the platform extension release pedal on the platform toeboard.
2.
Grasp the platform guard rails and carefully push to extend the platform to the mid-position stop.
3.
Step on the release pedal again and push to fully extend the platform.
4.
Step on the platform extension release pedal and pull to retract the platform to the mid-position stop.
Step again to fully retract the platform.
Swing-Down Rails
The platform rails may be lowered approximately 52 cm (20.75
″
) to fit the machine under low height
obstructions.
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when the swing-down rails are lowered. Death or serious
in-jury can result from such accidents. Do not elevate the platform with the swing-down rails lowered.
Use extreme care when moving the aerial platform while the swing-down rails are lowered.
