Page 23: Operation
*Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions Operation OVERVIEW 4.1.1 CONTROL CIRCUIT COMPONENTS CONTROL BOARD: - Situated under the canopy, the control board comprises a PCB (printed circuit board) design which incorporates all of the relays to control the machine operation. The control board is common between models with the same power source, and will contain, where appropriate, discrete fuses for the circuits concerned. - Page 24 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions LPG OPERATION: - On machines equipped for LPG operation (propane), the Honda engine will also have an LPG vaporiser, valve lock and micro-vac switch. The vapour take-off system requires a vaporiser to convert the liquid gas into an airborne mixture.
- Page 25 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.1.3 MANOEUVRING Once the engine is running, the operator can manoeuvre the machine from the platform. On entering the platform, the operator can now reach forward and grasp the two drive handles to enable the drive function.
- Page 26 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions When climbing steps, a further judgement will be needed as to whether the weight of the machine, or the traction required to climb or descend would cause damage. Many domestic installations feature soft edge strips or boards to provide the front edge of the step.
- Page 27 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions Minimum width – Selector in line. Maximum width – Selector sideways. Minimum width – Track in. Maximum width – Track extended. 4.1.6 OUTRIGGERS The four outriggers are deployed using the individual levers behind the main turret. Each lever controls the movement of an outrigger leg, their relative positions being indicated by the lever spacing.
- Page 28 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.1.7 BOOM CONTROLS As soon as all four outriggers are making contact with the ground, the four sensing switches will activate allowing the Booms to be elevated. Releasing the Hydraulic Duty Selector automatically re- sets the circuit to permit this.
- Page 29 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.1.8 EMERGENCY CONTROLS Emergency descent and/or machine recovery is achieved by the use of the standby hand pump, mounted on the base of Boom 1. This can accommodate all functions, with the exception of the drive system.

Page 36: Cage Weigh System
*Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions CAGE WEIGH SYSTEM 4.5.1 MECHANICAL VERSION The Niftylift range of machines are available fitted with mechanical cage weigh systems. These are configured to sense a vertical cage overload, which when detected will halt the machine movement. No further use of the platform is then permitted until the overload has been removed. - Page 37 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.5.4 CALIBRATION If a closer examination of the system is required, typically for testing and approval, the safe working load should be placed in the cage, carefully weighing the test load to ensure accuracy. The addition of a 5kg weight, to any of the four corners of the cage, should sound the alarm.
- Page 38 *Always follow manufacturer instructions* TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions The failure signal is generated if either relay fails to respond to the ‘safe’ cage weigh signal from the safety micro-switch, either due to a coil or contacts failing or if a contact sticks in place due to welding.
