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. The Auxiliary function
should be used whenever possible first.
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.
The recovery sequence will automatically retract
the primary 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 Move the key switch to the Ground Control
position.
2 Pull out the red Emergency Stop button at the
ground controls.

3 While pressing the ground function enable
button, push and hold the recovery toggle
switch 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 primary boom will lower.
Note: The recovery 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 LSB1RS boom safety limit switch is faulty,
the boom will only retract and not lower and the
operator will need to be recovered from that point.
Note: If the Recovery function has been used, this
will indicate there are faults with the machine. Tag
and remove the machine from service until the fault
has been corrected by trained personnel.
