Page 22: Operation
Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions Operation CONTROL CIRCUIT COMPONENTS 4.1.1 GROUND CONTROLS MASTER PROGRAMMEABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC): - Situated under the ground controls canopy, behind the Ground Controls Station is the Master PLC. The main purpose of the Master PLC is to process signals received from all areas of the control circuit on the machine and where appropriate output these to a series of smaller digital modules to operate the relevant machine functions. - Page 23 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions SLEW SWITCH: - Mounted under the superstructure, this switch limits the drive speed to a preset low speed when the machine has been rotated from its stowed position. 4.1.2 PLATFORM PLATFORM PROGRAMMEABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC): - Situated in the platform is the Platform Control Station.
- Page 24 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions BATTERY MANAGEMENT: - Battery condition is permanently monitored by the control circuit, such that when available power has decreased to 20% of full charge, the battery status circuit begins to "chop" the power to the hydraulic motors (If the machine is in Diesel mode at this point, it will automatically revert to a 'low power' state to protect the batteries).

Page 38: Batteries And Charging
Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions BATTERIES AND CHARGING Recharge batteries at the end of every working day or shift. (Note: To recharge batteries fully from 20% charged takes approx. 12 Hours, this consists of 8 hours bulk charging plus 4 hours equalisation. The recharging time can be reduced to approx 4- 6 hours by running the engine whilst charging). - Page 39 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions During normal machine usage with the engine running, the batteries are on continuous recharge, except when the control system decides that additional electric power is required in order to maintain drive/function speed. The machine has two charging units (Master and Slave). Both units will activate initially, the Slave unit will switch off at approximately 80% capacity then the Master unit will complete the charging cycle.
- Page 40 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions Attention should also be given to the use of extension cables as power leads. Excessive cable lengths from the supply point to the battery charger will result in significant voltage drop, leading to a reduction in the chargers efficiency.
