Fold Down Rails

Inspect the pins that hold the rails in position (refer to
Figure 8.18) to make sure they are in place and are not
deformed. There is one pin on each vertical side rail, the
entry gate, the front panel and one that fastens the upper
controls to the platform rails.

Operating Controls

Warning
The potential for an accident increases from improp-
erly driving or steering the aerial platform. Death
or serious injury could result from such accidents.
Make sure the upper control panel is at the front of
the platform, hooked on the guardrail, and hanging
inside the platform.
Avoid driving the platform with the upper controls facing
the rear or side of the machine. In this position the ma-
chine is difficult to control because the drive and steer
control movements and their resulting machine move-
ments will not correspond.
Only operate from the upper controls when it is at the front
of the platform, hooked on the guardrail, and hanging
inside the platform facing the front of the platform.

Use the following procedure to operate and test the ma-
chine from the upper controls:

2. At the lower controls, pull the emergency stop button
outward.
3. Place the control selector switch upward in the upper
control position.
4. At the upper controls (refer to Figure 8.19), pull the

If movement occurs the interlock is not functioning
properly. Do not operate the machine until the prob-

and test the operation of the joystick in both direc-
tions. The lift functions should not operate with the
selector in the drive position.
Squeeze and hold the interlock switch against the
joystick. Test the steer switch in both directions using
the steering switch.
