Warning
The potential for an accident increases from improp-
erly driving or steering the aerial platform. Death
or serious injury could result from such accidents.
Make sure the upper control panel is at the front of
the platform, hooked on the guardrail, and hanging
inside the platform.
Avoid driving the platform with the upper controls facing
the rear or side of the machine. In this position the ma-
chine is difficult to control because the drive and steer
control movements and their resulting machine move-
ments will not correspond.
Only operate the upper controls when the panel is at the
front of the platform, hooked on the guardrail inside the
platform, and facing the front of the machine.
The following controls are located on the upper control
panel:
Emergency stop button
Drive/lift selector switch
Joystick to control platform lift, drive, and steer
The horn button and battery condition indicator gauge
may also be located at the upper control station.
Emergency Stop Button
The emergency stop is a two-position, red push button
on the front of the upper control panel.
Push the button inward to disconnect power from all
control circuits at the upper controls.
Pull the button outward to restore power.
Push the button in when the upper controls are not in use
to help protect against unintentional platform operation.
Drive/Lift Selector Switch
The drive/lift selector switch is used to select either
machine drive or lift functions. Both functions can not be
operated at the same time.
Place the drive/lift selector switch in the drive position
to drive the aerial platform using the joystick. The
platform will not raise or lower while driving.
Place the drive/lift selector switch in the lift position to
raise and lower the platform using the joystick.
Joystick
Use the joystick to operate the following functions:
Aerial platform steering
Aerial platform drive and speed
