INTRODUCTION
PLATFORM CONTROLLER
The platform controller contains the controls to operate the machine. It is located at the front
of the platform. A complete explanations of control functions can be found in section 2.
ELEVATING ASSEMBLY
The platform is raised and lowered by the elevating assembly. The hydraulic pump driven
by the engine, powers the cylinders. Solenoid operated valves control raising and lowering.
CHASSIS
The chassis is a structural frame that supports all the components of the SL26/30SL work
platform.
PURPOSE OF EQUIPMENT
The objective of the work platform is to provide a quickly deployable, self propelled, variable
height work platform to elevate personnel and materials to overhead work areas.
SPECIAL LIMITATIONS
Travel with the platform raised is limited to a creep speed range.
Elevating of the work platform is limited to firm, even surfaces only. 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 front to back. If the platform is not level to within 2 degrees,
a warning alarm will sound and platform elevation above approximately 1 m will be disabled.
