Steering
On the platform control station, position the lift/
drive selector switch to the drive/steer position.
To steer the machine, engage trigger switch and
the thumb-operated steer rocker switch
on the
joystick handle. Press to the right for steering
right and to the left for steering left. When
released, the switch will return to the center
(off ) position and the wheels will remain in the
previously selected position. To return the wheels to the center posi-
tion, the switch must be activated in the opposite direction until the
wheels are centered.
Traveling Forward and Reverse
Position the platform lift/drive
selector switch to drive/steer posi-
tion. Squeeze the trigger switch
on front of the joystick, and move
the joystick forward to drive for-
ward or backward to drive in
reverse. The drive system is proportional; for additional drive speed,
push the joystick further from the neutral position in the direction of
travel. Releasing the trigger switch or returning the joystick to center
will stop machine movement.
NOTE:
To ensure proper operation of the desired platform function,
move the joystick in the direction of the black or white arrow
that matches the color of the arrow on the chassis for the
intended direction of travel.
Raising And Lowering Platform
1.
If the machine was shut
down, place the key selec-
tor switch to the platform
position.
2.
Position both emergency
stop switches to the ON position.
3.
Position the lift/drive selector switch to lift.
4.
Squeeze and hold the trigger switch and move the joystick
back (platform up - white arrow) or move the joystick for-
ward (platform down - black arrow) and hold until desired
elevation is reached. Releasing the trigger switch or moving
the joystick back to its center position will stop the function
being operated.
Arm Guards (If Equipped)
If the machine is equipped with electronic arm guards, the platform
will stop lowering at a predetermined height and the machine’s bea-
cons will flash at a different rate to warn ground personnel. Machine
lowering can continue after a three (3) second delay. Once the lower-
ing function is re-engaged, an audible alarm will sound. After a three
second delay, the platform will continue lowering.
