Emergency Operation Procedures

The  fol low ing  pro ce dures  are  emer gency  pro ce -
dures only. 

DO NOT

 use them for nor mal op er a -

tion. Their pur 

pose is to get the plat 

form and

op er a tor safely to the ground when the EPV will not
start or some other prob lem keeps the plat form
from low er ing in the nor mal way, or to move the
EPV a short  dis tance to a safe place when the mo -
tor will not start.

There are two forms of emer gency op er a tion for the 
E P V .   E me r

Each is cov ered as a sep a rate sec tion be low.

There are two Emer gency Stop switches on an
EPV.

 switch, (see Fig ures

9.1, 9.2 and 9.3) at any time, and the en tire ma -
chine stops, the en 

gine turns off, and noth 

ing

moves. 

Func tion ally,  the 

Emer gency  Stop

 switches do

the same thing as turn ing the 

Main Power

 switch to 

off. The 

Emer gency  Stop

 switches are de signed

to be eas ier to find and faster to use than key
switches. 

To re set the 

Emer gency  Stop

 switch at the plat -

form con trol sta tion (or the ground con trol sta tion
with PTO), pull it and and it will pop out (on). To re -
set the 

Emer gency  Stop

 switch at the non PTO

ground con trol station, raise the red switch-cover
and push the switch up. The EPV en gine can then
be re started in the nor mal way.
