SKYSENSE

SKYSENSE IS NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE OR REDUCE THE NEED FOR THE OPERATOR
TO BE AWARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND THE MACHINE. HAZARDS THAT WILL
CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY NOT BE PREVENTED OR REDUCED BY SKY-
SENSE. THE OPERATOR MUST ALWAYS LOOK IN THE DIRECTION OF TRAVEL, AVOID
POWER LINES, AVOID OBSTACLES THAT COULD STRIKE THE MACHINE OR PERSONS IN
THE PLATFORM, AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS, DECALS, AND OTHER WARNINGS
PROVIDED WITH THIS MACHINE.
THE OPERATOR MUST NOT RELY ON SKYSENSE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR FOLLOWING THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THE MANUALS AND PLACARDS PRO-
VIDED WITH THIS MACHINE.
SKYSENSE IS INTENDED TO ASSIST THE OPERATOR. SKYSENSE MAY NOT DETECT CER-
TAIN OBJECTS DEPENDING ON SHAPE, TYPE OF MATERIAL, OR ORIENTATION OF THE
OBJECT TO THE SENSORS. IT IS THE OPERATOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO BE AWARE OF
THEIR SURROUNDINGS AT ALL TIMES.
DE-RATE THE PLATFORM BY 10 LB (4.5 KG) PER BAR WHEN INSTALLED ON THE PLAT-
FORM (20 LB (9 KG) OR 30 LB (14 KG) TOTAL).
NOTE: SkySense is not active when operating the machine from the
ground controls.

Preparation and Inspection

Pre-Operation Inspection:
1. Inspect each of the SkySense tubes for dents, cracks, or other
damage.
2. Inspect each SkySense sensor for any damage to the hous-
ing or sensor.
To test the SkySense system:
1.
In an area free of obstructions, ensure the machine is on a
smooth, firm surface within the limits of the maximum oper-
ating slope.
2. From the platform control console, elevate the boom until
the bottom of the platform is at least 6 feet off the ground.
3. Continue to elevate the platform.
4. While elevating, hold your hand 6 inches to 12 inches above
one of the upward facing sensors. The machine should stop,
and the LED corresponding to that sensor (left LED for left
sensor bar; right LED for right sensor bar; both LEDs for cen-
ter sensor bar or overhead sensor) should be red.
