Bypass/Recovery Key Switch

The turntable control box (TCON) is the
communication and operations center for the
machine. The turntable control box contains two
key switches. The main key switch towards the top
of the control box is for selection of ground or
platform controls. The key switch at the bottom of
the control box is the Bypass/Recovery key switch.
Bypass and Recovery modes are only intended for
certain circumstances and are not part of normal
machine operation. If either the Bypass or the
Recovery function is required, this indicates there
may be faults with the machine. Contact trained
personnel immediately.
Bypass is used for a platform out-of-level condition
and calibrating certain machine parameters.
Recovery is only to be used as a last attempt to
lower the platform when the operator in the
platform is unable to do so, system failure or in
emergency situations.

How to Use the Bypass Mode
Note: Before using the Bypass mode, make sure
you understand the fault code or issue affecting the
operation of the machine to be sure the use of
bypass is required.
The Bypass mode will allow the platform to be
manually leveled when an out-of-level condition
exists. In the event that the platform angle is
greater than 10° from level, the boom angle and
platform level functions are disabled. Use of the
Bypass mode will allow the platform to be manually
adjusted to within the normal operating envelope,
±4.5°. Only auxiliary power can be used to correct
an out of level platform fault.
1 Turn the engine off.
2 Turn the main key switch to ground controls.
Remove the key from the main key switch and
insert the key into the bypass/recovery key
switch.
Note: The main key switch must remain in the
ground control position.
