to select either machine drive or lift functions. Both func-
tions can not be operated at the same time.

lowing functions:

Movement of the joystick in a given direction produces
a corresponding movement of the aerial platform. The
steering and drive functions may be operated separately
or simultaneously.

The joystick has an interlock switch in the handle (refer
to Figure 7.3).
Engage the interlock by grasping the joystick and
y
pulling the switch toward the handle.
Engage the interlock to activate the steering, drive,
y
or lift functions.
Steer Switch
The steer switch (refer to Figure 7.3) is a momentary
contact, rocker switch on top of the drive joystick. This
switch controls the two front wheels to steer the aerial
platform.
To steer to the right, engage the interlock switch on
y
the joystick and hold down the right side of the steer
switch.
