DESCRIPTION

This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift equipped with a
work platform on the end of an elevating, articulating and rotat-
ing boom.
The primary operator control station is in the platform. From this
control station, the operator can drive and steer the machine in
both forward and reverse directions. The operator can raise or
lower the upper or lower boom or swing the boom to the left or
right. Standard boom swing is 400 degree non-continuous left
and right of the stowed position. The machine has a Ground Con-
trol Station which will override the Platform Control Station.
Ground Controls operate Boom Lift and Swing, and are to be
used in an emergency to lower the platform to the ground
should the operator in the platform be unable to do so. The
Ground Control is also to be used in Pre-Start Inspection.
