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.
REDUCE THE PLATFORM CAPACITY BY 10 LB (4.5 KG) PER BAR WHEN INSTALLED ON

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.
Ensure there are no obstructions within 10 feet around or
above the platform and the machine is on a smooth, firm
surface within the limits of the maximum operating 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, wave your hand over one of the upward fac-
ing sensors. The machine should stop, and the LED should
be red.
5.
Ensure the area below the platform is clear of obstructions
and lower the platform. The machine should slow down,
(SkySense Status LED will blink yellow with increasing fre-
quency) and stop, (SkySense Status LED will be illuminated
solid red) when the bottom of the platform is approximately
1 foot from the ground.
