DRIVE
When transferring the platform, pay attention to the following factors:
1. Do not exceed maximum inclination for the drive. Make sure the driving surface is solid.
2. Secure tools and other materials to prevent them from falling or shifting.
3. Wear safety harnesses and keep them fastened whenever operating the machine.
4. Manoeuvre the drive levers in a controlled manner.
To drive the machine:
1.
Switch on the machine and turn the ‘mode selection’ switch to the drive position.
2.
Ensure that the drive speed selection is in the correct position. Changing the drive speed
while the access platform is moving is prohibited!
3.
Driving takes place by turning the drive control levers in either direction. Pushing the left-
hand side lever forward causes the wheels on the left to turn forward. The wheels spin
backwards when the left-hand side lever is pulled back. The right wheels are controlled in
a similar manner using the right-hand side lever. The machine is controlled with the skid
steer method and the control properties vary depending on terrain, so great care must be
taken when starting to drive.
The machine’s transmission system is hydrostatic. The model with wheels is 4-wheel drive, with
each wheel having its own hydraulic motor. The access platform equipped with tracks has two
hydraulic motors.
When necessary, the access platform can be turned on the spot by pushing one control lever as
far as it goes, while pulling the other lever.
The access platform can only be driven when all the booms are in the transport
position!
Note! Learn how to drive with the machine at a low speed. Operate the drive control
levers gently in order to avoid abrupt and jerky movements. When driving, pay
special attention to stability and the dimensions, especially the length, of the
machine.
