Caution
A tripped circuit breaker indicates a malfunction in
the electrical system. Component damage may result
if the cause of the malfunction is not corrected. Do
not operate the aerial platform if the circuit breaker
trips repeatedly.
Push the button to reset the circuit breaker.

Upper Controls

The upper controls (refer to Figure 7.5) are located on
the control panel at the platform. Boom, platform, and
drive functions can be operated from the upper controls.

Emergency Stop Button
The emergency stop is a two-position, red push button on
top of the upper control panel (refer to Figure 7.5).
• Push the button inward to disconnect power to the
upper control circuits.
• Pull the button outward to restore power.
Note
The lower controls override the upper controls. If the up-
per control emergency stop button is engaged the lower
controls can still be used to operate the aerial platform.
• Push the emergency stop button inward when the
upper controls are not in use to protect against unin-
tentional operation.
Drive Joystick
The drive joystick (refer to Figure 7.5) is used to control
forward and reverse motion of the aerial platform. The
distance the joystick is moved is proportional to the ma-
chine drive speed.
Hold the joystick forward to move the aerial platform
forward, and backward to move in reverse as indicated
by the directional arrows on the chassis. Drive and steer
functions may be operated simultaneously.
