SECTION 4 - MACHINE OPERATION

4.1

DESCRIPTION

This machine is a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP)
used to position personnel, along with their necessary tools
and materials at work locations.
This MEWP has a primary operator control station in the
platform. The operator can control drive, steer, boom/plat-
form functions and outriggers. The machine has a Ground
Control Station which will override the Platform Control Sta-
tion. Ground Controls operate boom and platform functions.
They are to be used in an emergency to lower the platform
to the ground should the operator in the platform be unable
to do so. The ground control station is to be used for a Pre-
Start Inspection too.
This machine is equipped with an ALL MOTION alarm warn-
ing system to alert other personnel in the work area of any
machine movement during operation. The motion alarm
system is activated during machine function movement
such as track, boom, or outrigger operation.

Capacities

Raising platform above horizontal with or without any load
in platform, is based on the following criteria:
• Machine is positioned on a firm surface with outrig-
gers set properly with the outrigger pads on horizontal
surfaces.
• Load is within manufacturer's rated capacity.
• All machine systems are functioning properly.

Stability

In addition to the conditions listed above under Capacities,
machine stability also depends on the following:
• A work surface capable of supporting the machine and
a slope within machine leveling specifications.
• Platform is only operated within its work area specifica-
tion for rated load and boom reach. (See Figure 4-3., Fig-
ure 4-4., and Figure 4-7.)
