ESIGN
The SL26/30SL has the following features:
• The drive speed is limited to creep speed when
operating the work platform while platform is ele-
vated.
• The platform descent rate is controlled by an orifice
(fixed speed) and is slowed further by another ori-
fice during the last 304 mm (12 in.) of descent
(cushion speed). The lift cylinder is equipped with
a velocity fuse to prevent descent should the lift
hose rupture.
• The front floating axle locks into position upon ele-
vating the platform.
• The machine will not drive while elevated unless
the front axle is parallel with the rear axle.
• An alarm sounds and the drive and lift coils are de-
energized if the platform should become unlevel
while elevated.
• Parking brakes are automatically engaged when
the Control Lever is released and the machine
comes to a full stop.
• The Controller and chassis controls are equipped
with Emergency Stop Switches for stopping all
powered functions.
• The Interlock Lever must be depressed for the
Controller to function.
• An alarm is provided to signal when the platform is
lowering.
• A lift switch is located in the Control Module on the
Chassis for lifting and lowering the platform from
ground level.
• An Emergency Down Valve is provided in the Con-
trol Module, to lower the platform in the event elec-
trical power is lost.
• Machine will not level above 87 in., interlock height.
• Machine will not travel when elevated above 8 m.
