Platform Overload System

The platform overload system is designed to
prevent the machine from continuing to operate
when the load in the platform exceeds maximum
rated capacity. Refer to the machine serial label for
maximum capacity information.
If maximum platform capacity is exceeded, the
alarm will sound at the platform controls and the
platform overload indicator lights will flash at both
the ground and platform controls. The ground and
platform controls will become disabled. Before
normal machine operation can continue, the excess
load will need to be removed from the platform.
If the excess load cannot be removed or if the
operator at the platform controls is unable to correct
the overloaded condition, another person at the
ground controls can operate the machine using
auxiliary power. There will be limited control of
boom functions from the ground controls when
using auxiliary power. Auxiliary power can be used
to correct the overloaded platform condition in order
to resume normal, safe operation of the machine.
How to Calibrate the Platform
Overload System (if equipped)
Calibration of the platform overload system is
essential to safe machine operation. Continued use
of an improperly calibrated platform overload
system could result in the system failing to sense
an overloaded platform. The stability of the
machine is compromised and it could tip over.
Note: Perform this procedure with the machine on a
firm, level surface.
1 Turn the key switch to platform control. Start the
engine and level the platform.
