1. About Your Aerial Platform
This section provides general information about your
aerial platform. It describes the major components,
standard and optional features, safety reminders and
precautions.
1.1 Major Assemblies
The aerial platform consists of three major assemblies:
the platform, the lifting mechanism and the base. An
operator’s control box is mounted on one of the
platform guardrails. Auxiliary and emergency controls
are located at the base.
1.2 Platform
The platform is constructed of a tubular support frame,
a skid-resistant “diamond plate” deck surface and 40”
to 43-1/2" (1016 - 1100mm) hinged guardrails with 6"
(152mm) toe boards and mid-rails. The platform can be
entered from the rear through an en
try chain or optional
spring-returned gate with latch. The platform is also
equipped with an extension platform.
1.3 Operator’s Control Box
A removable control box, mounted at the front right of the
platform, contains controls for aerial platform motion and
emergency stopping.
1.4 Manual Storage Box
This weather-resistant box is mounted to the inside of
the hydraulic cabinet door at the base or at the front
of the platform. It cont
ains the
Operating Manual, the Operating/
Maintenance and Parts Manual and
other important documentation. The
Operating Manual for this make and
model of aerial platform MUST remain
with the aerial platform and should be
stored in this box.
1.5 Lifting Mechanism
The lifting mechanism is constructed of formed steel or tube
sections making up a scissor-type assembly. The scissor
assembly is raised and lowered by single-acting hydraulic
lift cylinders with holding valves. A two-section pump,
driven by an electric motor, provides hydraulic power to
the lift cylinders.
1.6 Maintenance Support
A maintenance support is located inside the lifting
mechanism. When properly positioned, it can support the
scissor assembly and empty platform. The maintenance
support MUST be used during inspection and maintenance
or when repairs are being performed within the lifting
mechanism.
1.7 Base
The base is a rigid, one-piece weldment which supports
two side cabinets or two swing out trays.
•
One tray contains the hydraulic and electrical
components. The other tray contains battery
charger and eight (8) 6 volt batteries.
•
The front axle has two non-driven wheels,
steerable by a hydraulic cylinder.
•
The rear axle is a rigid axle with a self-locking
differential and an integral gearbox.
•
A variable speed 48 V DC electric motor and
holding brake is flange mounted to the gearbox.
