DRIVING CONTROLS
DO NOT OPERATE THE NIFTYLIFT WHILST ELEVATED UNLESS ON A FIRM,
LEVEL SURFACE FREE FROM ANY POSSIBLE OBSTRUCTIONS OR HAZARDS
BOTH AT GROUND LEVEL AND OVERHEAD.
1)
Check proposed route for possible hazards, obstructions and personnel.
2)
Depress foot switch located in platform floor (if applicable). For 4WD machines grasp and
hold the duty selector handle.
3) Use
the
Drive Speed
selector on the platform control station to determine speed.
High Drive
(Hare) - GIVES HIGH SPEED AND LOW GRADEABILITY.
Low Drive
(Tortoise) - GIVES LOW SPEED AND HIGH GRADEABILITY.
4) Select drive joystick from hand lever controls (left hand lever of five, situated at the
drive/outrigger control position).
A. Up
for
FORWARD
B. Down
for
REVERSE
C. Left
for
STEER LEFT
D. Right
for
STEER RIGHT
5)
All control levers give a fully proportional response therefore the more the lever is moved
away from the centre (OFF) position the faster the function will become.
6)
Maximum drive speed is only attainable when all booms are fully stowed and the
HI/LO
selector is in the
HI
position.
7)
When driving with the booms fully stowed, the Tilt Alarm is bypassed to allow the Niftylift to
be driven in areas where the slope exceeds the five degree working limit. In normal operation
the drive is therefore unaffected when driven onto a slope in excess of five degrees, until the
outriggers are lowered and the booms are raised, whereupon the drive would be disabled
and the tilt alarm sounds continuously.
8)
Under no circumstances should any Niftylift SD series machine be driven on slopes
exceeding 25%, with the booms fully stowed (30% for 4WD machine).
