glowplug switch and hold down the start switch until
the engine starts.

unintentional operation.
Danger
Pinch points may exist between moving compo-
nents. Death or serious injury will result from be-
coming trapped between components, buildings,
structures, or other obstacles. Maintain at least 39"
(1 m) clearance around the machine before moving
the chassis or platform. Allow suffi cient room and
time to stop movement to avoid contact with struc-
tures or other hazards.

Platform
Use three points of support when entering or exiting the
platform. Grasp the handrails, not the doors, with one
hand on each side. Use two hands and one foot on the
step when climbing into and out of the platform.
Use care when entering and exiting the platform to avoid
slipping and/or falling. Securely close the entry doors
when the platform is occupied.
Danger
The potential for an accident increases when the
fold down rails are lowered. Death or serious injury
will result in such accidents. Do not elevate the plat-
form with the fold down rails lowered. Use extreme
care when moving the aerial platform while the fold
down rails are lowered.
If the machine is equipped with fold down guardrails,
be sure they are up and their hardware is securely
tightened, anytime the machine is not being transported.

Raising and Lowering

The raise speed is proportional to the joystick position.
The farther the joystick is moved, the faster the platform
raises. There is only one lowering speed.
1. Place the drive/lift selector switch (refer to Figure
8.2) in the lift position.
2. Squeeze and hold the interlock switch against the
joystick.
Ÿ To raise the platform, slowly push the joystick
forward until the desired height is reached.
Ÿ To lower the platform, pull the joystick backward.
Lowering Interrupt – CE/AS/NZS
When the platform is lowered to about 6' (1.8 m) lower-
ing stops, the fl ashing light is constant on and the alarm
sounds in fast short beeps. The platform will not lower
for fi ve seconds regardless of the joystick position.
Center the control in neutral to reset the lowering func-
tion, then continue to lower the platform.
When the platform is below 6' (1.8 m) and the control
is moved to lower the platform, there is a 1.5 second
delay before movement begins.

Overload Protection

When the load in the platform is near or at rated capac-
ity, an alarm will sound and the red light on the lower
controls will fl ash.
The alarm and light warn the operator that the platform
is close to becoming overloaded. All functions remain
fully operational.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-
stable. Death or serious injury will result from a
tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values
indicated on the platform rating placard.
