3.8.1 Platform Control Station Functions
Alarm
This alarm mounted on the front of the platform control station will sound for various machine conditions or
warnings such as, system ready chirp or if the machine tilt warning is activated.
Arm Guards (If Equipped)
If the machine is equipped with electronic arm guards, the platform will stop lowering at a predetermined
height and the machine's beacons will flash at a different rate to warn ground personnel. The machine can
continue lowering after a three (3) second delay and re-engaging the lowering function. Once the lowering
function is re-engaged an audible alarm will sound. After a three second delay, the platform will continue
lowering.
Battery Charge Indicator
The battery charge indicator displays the current charge status of the onboard batteries.
• RED LED flashing = batteries depleted
• RED LED ON solid = batteries low
• RED LED ON and GREEN LEDs ON = batteries FULL charge
Drive/Lift/Steer Joystick Control
Trigger (Enable) Switch - This trigger switch is located on the front of the joystick controller. It acts as an
enable and must be depressed before operating the drive, steer, and lift functions. When released, the function
in operation will stop.
The speed on all selected functions is proportionally controlled by the distance from the neutral (center) position
of the joystick controller.
Note: Once the trigger switch is pressed, the operator has (5) seconds to begin operating a function. After 5
seconds, the trigger switch must be released and pressed again to operate a joystick function.
Note: If the machine is also equipped with a footswitch, depress the footswitch in conjunction with the trigger
(enable) switch located on the joystick controller. Power is removed from the platform controls when
the footswitch is released.
Steer Switch - The steer switch is a thumb-operated switch located at the top of the joystick controller handle.
Depressing the switch to the right will steer the wheels to the right. Depressing the switch to the left will steer
the wheels to the left.
Joystick Controller - This controls drive and lift.
Drive Speed Select Switch
The two-position speed switch controls high or low range drive speed. Use high speed in
unobstructed open, flat, and level work areas. Use low speed in close work areas with
obstacles, other machinery or personnel to avoid.
Note: Drive speed automatically reduces to low drive when the platform is raised above
the stowed position, regardless of speed switch position.
