Initiating (Power-Up)

Perform the following to power up the system:
1. If the "E-Stop" was activated during prior use, it must be reset by turning to enable the system
to power-up. Do not reset the "E-Stop" until the cause of the event is corrected. Turn the red
"E-Stop" button if needed.
2. Press "NFPA Start" to power-up the mast.
On initiation, the Base Board establishes communication with the other boards in the system. If
communication cannot be established, an error code is shown on the display and the communi-
cation system is shut down. The HHRC must be connected prior to power-up to be recognized by
the controller.
6.5 Raising the Mast to 90°
The mast uses a DC powered actuator to drive the mast from stow to 90°. When at 90°, a proxim-
ity sensor detects the actuator then drives the actuator a bit further. Driving the actuator a bit fur-
ther causes the mast to seat firmly into the rubber mast pad. Do not overdrive the actuator or
damage to the system could occur. Once the mast is at 90°, all RCP functions are available.
