How to Use the Recovery Mode

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.
Bodily injury hazard. When using
recovery mode, the platform may
not fully lower to the ground when
the recovery mode is completed.
Failure to use only suitable
equipment and/or practices to
allow the operator to safely exit
the platform could result in death
or serious injury.
Bodily injury hazard. Platform
leveling is not active when using
recovery mode. The platform
could reach high out-of-level
conditions when using this mode.
The operator will need to secure
themself to the platform to
prevent falling injury.
The Recovery mode allows the platform to be
lowered in the event the operator in the platform is
unable to lower the platform using the platform
controls, system failure or emergency situations.
The recovery sequence will automatically retract
the primary boom, retract the secondary boom and
then lower the primary boom using the auxiliary
power unit to allow the operator at the platform
controls to exit the platform.

1 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: If this procedure is performed with the main
key switch in the off position an active latched
safety fault will be set and will have to be cleared.
2 Turn and hold the bypass/recovery key switch
to the recovery position. The switch must be
held in the recovery position.
Result: The auxiliary power unit will turn on
and the boom will begin the following recovery
sequence.
• The primary boom will retract.
• The secondary boom will retract.
• The primary boom will lower.
Note: The key switch must be held in the recovery
position until the recovery sequence is complete or
until the operator in the platform can safely exit the
platform.
Note: If any boom safety limit switches are faulty,
the boom will only retract and not lower and the
operator will need to be recovered from that point.
Note: If the event the platform becomes out of level
± 15°, all functions using auxiliary power will be
disabled, PLATFORM LEVEL > 15 DEGREES will
be displayed on the ground control LCD screen,
and the operator will have to be recovered using
the Recovery Mode.
Note: If the Recovery function has been used, this
may indicate there may be faults with the machine.
Tag and remove the machine from service until the
fault has been corrected by trained personnel.
