OPERATION OPERATOR CONTROLS Most of the operator controls for the ESP 19 are located on the upper and lower control boxes. Other operator controls include the BATTERY ON/OFF switch and the emergency lowering valve. The BATTERY ON/OFF switch, located on the left side of the lift base, is the main power disconnect switch for the lift vehicle.
Page 14
Upper Control Box The upper control box, Figure 3-2, is in the lift cage. The upper control box enables lift and travel operations whenever the BATTERY ON/OFF switch is in the ON position and the lower control box key switch is in the UPPER CONTROL position.
Page 15
NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE Perform the following procedures to operate the sounds an alarm beeper. Once the platform is ESP 19 platform lift vehicle. lowered, floor travel is again enabled to allow travel to a level area. Read and follow all safety precautions contained in Section 1 and all responsibilities outlined in the ANSI A92.3 reprint in Section 7 of this manual.
Page 16
EMERGENCY LOWERING PROCEDURE In an emergency, a person at floor level can lower the platform by holding the UPPER CONTROL/OFF/LOWER CONTROL key switch in the LOWER CONTROL position and turning the UP/DOWN selector switch to the DOWN position. (If the upper control box emergency stop pushbutton is depressed, the platform will not lower.) An emergency lowering valve is shown in Figure 3-4.
Page 17
The forks of a lift truck (2-ton minimum capacity) can be used to raise the ESP 19 for loading onto a trailer or for blocking up the lift vehicle for maintenance. Forks must be inserted a minimum of 32 inches before raising the ESP 19.
Page 19
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED SERVICE CHECKS Daily/Weekly Service Checks Perform the daily and weekly service checks listed in Table 4-1. Table 4-1. Daily/Weekly Service Checks Daily Service Check before use Weekly Check that all upper and lower control box controls work properly. Check for hydraulic oil leaks.
Page 20
6 Month/Yearly Service Checks Perform the service checks in Table 4-2 every 6 months or every 12 months, as indicated. Table 4-2. 6 Month/Yearly Service Checks Every Every Service Check 6 months 12 months Check chain assemblies for split leaves, loose pins, excessive wear, or elongation.
Page 21
UNDERGUARD SERVICE CHECK The underguard is a safety device located under the cage/platform that shuts down operation of the lift when weight is applied. Perform the following procedure weekly to verify the underguard is working properly. Turn power to lift ON and raise cage/platform using the lower control box a minimum of 3 feet above the underguard.
