Travel with the platform raised is limited to creep speed range. Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level surfaces only.
The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the work platform is level and on a firm surface.
The work platform is NOT intended to be driven over uneven, rough, or soft terrain.
Platform Capacity
The maximum platform capacity for the aerial platform is stated in the "Specifications".
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or the platform occupancy limits for this machine.
Manual Force
Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to objects such as walls or other structures outside the work platform.
Refer to the platform capacity decal on the machine for specific maximum allowable manual force information.
The maximum allowable manual force varies depending on wind speed. The maximum allowable wind speed is 12.5 m/s (28 mph).
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual force for this machine.
Drive/Lift Pothole Protector Interlock
The aerial platform drive and lift functions are interlocked through a limit switch inside the chassis that senses whether or not the pothole protection linkage is locked into position. The drive/lift pothole interlock operates when the platform is elevated approximately 1.8 m (6').
If an obstruction under the skids, or some other impairment prevents the skids from locking into position, the drive and steer functions will not operate and an alarm will sound.
Lower the platform and remove the obstruction when the drive/lift pothole protector interlock alarm sounds.
Drive/Lift Level Sensor Interlock
The aerial platform drive and lift functions are interlocked through a level sensor system. The drive/lift level sensor interlock operates when the platform is elevated approximately 1.8 m (6').
If the chassis is tilted too far out of level, the drive and lift functions will not operate and an alarm will sound. Refer to the machine specifications for the level sensor factory setting.
Lower the platform and drive to a level surface when the drive/lift level sensor alarm sounds.
The drive/lift level sensor system is for added protection and does not justify operating on anything other than firm, flat, level surfaces.
Lowering Alarm
When the joystick is moved out of neutral to lower the platform, the alarm emits a loud beeping sound to warn personnel in the work area to stand clear.
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death or serious injury will result if the scissors structure lowers onto personnel within the scissors arms or under the raised platform. Stand clear while raising and lowering the platform.
Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep hands and fingers away from the scissors structures components.
Lowering Interrupt
When the platform is lowered to about 1.8 m (6') lowering stops. The platform will not lower for five seconds regardless of the control position to allow personnel to clear the area of the scissors before the platform completely lowers.
Center the control in neutral to reset the lowering function, then continue to lower the platform.
When the platform is below 1.8 m (6') 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 capacity, an alarm will sound and the red light on the lower controls will ash.
The alarm and light warn the operator that the platform is close to becoming overloaded. All functions remain fully operational.
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated on the platform rating placard.
If the platform is fully lowered and is overloaded, when it is elevated just past 1.8 m (6'), a control module will stop the lift and drive functions and the alarm will sound and the warning light will ash. The platform can still be lowered to remove the excess load.
If the platform is elevated just past 1.8 m (6') and material is added to the platform overloading it, a control module will stop the lift, drive and lower functions and the alarm will sound and the warning light will ash. In this case, remove the load in excess of rated capacity and cycle the emergency stop button at the upper controls to return to normal operation.
