Operation

TRAVEL WITH THE PLATFORM ELEVATED

NOTE: The machine will travel at reduced speed when the platform is elevated.
1. Check that the route is clear of obstacles (persons, obstructions, holes, drop-offs, bumps, and debris), is
level, and is capable of supporting the wheel loads.
2. Check clearances above, below, and to the sides of platform.
3. Select DRIVE mode.
4. Engage the Safety Interlock Trigger on the Joystick and move to FORWARD or REVERSE to travel in the
desired direction. The speed of the machine will vary depending on how far from center the Joystick is
moved.
5. If the machine is not level the tilt alarm will sound and the machine will not lift or drive. If the tilt alarm sounds
the platform must be lowered and the machine moved to a firm, level surface before attempting to re-elevate
the platform.

LOWERING THE PLATFORM

1. Select LIFT mode.
2. Check around the base of the platform to ensure that no one is in contact with the machine. Engage the
Safety Interlock Trigger and pull back on the Joystick to lower the platform.

LEVELLING THE PLATFORM

The AUTO LEVEL feature is designed to level the platform in a situation where the ground has no more than
a 13 degree slope side to side and 9 degrees fore and aft, if the slope is greater than 13 degrees side to side
and 9 degrees fore and aft the AUTO LEVEL feature will not function.
The tilt alarm will continue to sound until the platform is level
1. Check that the route is clear of obstacles (persons, obstructions, holes, drop-offs, bumps, and debris), is
level, and is capable of supporting the wheel loads.
2. Check clearances above, below, and to the sides of platform.
3. Elevate the platform approximately 600mm (2ft).
4. Press and hold the AUTO LEVEL and Engage the Safety Interlock Trigger until the platform is level and the
tilt alarm is silenced.
5. The Machine can now be driven within the limits of the tilt sensor. If the terrain changes the machine will
stop and the platform must be lowered and re-levelled.
