Pre-Operation Safety Inspection
Movement of the joystick in a given direction produces
a corresponding movement of the aerial platform. The
steering and drive functions may be operated separately
or simultaneously.
Interlock Switch
The joystick has an interlock switch in the handle.
• Engage the interlock by grasping the joystick and
pulling the switch toward the handle.
• Engage the interlock to activate the steering, drive, or
lift functions.
Steer Switch
The steer switch is a momentary contact, rocker switch
on top of the drive joystick. This switch controls the two
front wheels to steer the aerial platform.
• To steer to the right, engage the interlock switch on
the joystick and hold down the right side of the steer
switch.
• To steer to the left, engage the interlock switch on
the joystick and hold down the left side of the steer
switch.
Note
The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the
steering wheels straight ahead after completing a turn.
Drive Range Switch – S2632E Only
The drive range switch has two positions to select drive
wheel operation:
• High (Rabbit) – for normal driving conditions
• Low (Turtle) – for driving on grades up to 25 percent
that require low speed and high torque operation,
where high range is not sufficient to climb the grade.
Horn Button
The horn button is on the left side of the upper control
panel.
Press the button to sound the horn.
Battery Condition Indicator
The optional battery condition indicator gauge is on
the top of the upper control box. It indicates the level of
available battery power to operate the aerial platform.
Pre-Operation Safety Inspection
Note
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules,
operating instructions, labels and National Safety
Instructions/Requirements. Perform the following steps
each day before use.
1. Open the trays and inspect for damage, fluid leaks or
missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic fluid with the platform
fully lowered. The fluid level must be between the full
and add marks. Add recommended hydraulic fluid if
necessary. See “Specifications” on pages 20-22.
3. Check that the fluid level in the batteries is correct.
See “Battery Maintenance” on page 17.
4. Verify that the batteries are charged.
5. Check that the AC extension cord has been
disconnected from the outlet on the side of the
chassis.
6. Check that all guardrails are in place and all fasteners
are properly tightened.
7. Inspect the machine thoroughly for cracked welds
and structural damage, loose or missing hardware,
hydraulic leaks, damaged control cable and loose
wire connections.
