16. Tower Telescope
The three position center-off toggle switch provides for
extending and retracting of the tower boom when posi-
tioned to IN or OUT. TOWER TELESCOPE must be fully
RETRACTED before operating TOWER LIFT. (TOWER TELE-
SCOPE should not function when TOWER LIFT is not fully ele-
vated "UP").
TO AVOID UPSET AND SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IF TOWER LIFT
AND TELESCOPE DO NOT OPERATE IN THE ORDER DESCRIBED ABOVE.
17. Drive Orientation Override
When the boom is swung over the rear tires or further in
either direction, the Drive Orientation indicator will illumi-
nate when the drive function is selected. Push and release
the switch, and within 3 seconds move the Drive/Steer con-
trol to activate drive or steer. Before driving, locate the black/
white orientation arrows on both the chassis and the plat-
form controls and match the control direction arrow to the
intended chassis direction.

SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
18. Soft Touch/SkyGuard Override Switch (If equipped)
The machine can be equipped with one of three options. It
may have Soft Touch, SkyGuard, or both Soft Touch and Sky-
Guard.
If equipped with Soft Touch, the switch enables the func-
tions that were cut out by the Soft Touch system to operate
again at creep speed, allowing the operator to move the
platform away from the obstacle that caused the shutdown
situation.
If equipped with SkyGuard, the switch enables functions cut
out by the Skyguard system to be operated again, allowing
the operator to resume use of machine functions.
If equipped with both Soft Touch and SkyGuard, the switch
operates like described above and allows the operator to
override the system that has experienced a cutout situation.
19. Soft Touch/SkyGuard Indicator (If Equipped)
Indicates the Soft Touch bumper is against an object or the
SkyGuard sensor has been activated. All controls are cut out
until the override button is pushed. For Soft Touch, controls
are then active in the Creep Mode or for SkyGuard, controls
will work normally.
