Driving Lights
Optional headlights and blinking tail lights may be in-
stalled on the machine. The headlights are located on
the top of the front cowling. The tail lights are mounted
on the sides of the rear cowling.
Driving lights help improve visibility while driving the
aerial platform and help others see it too. Driving lights
are not for driving on public roadways.
Platform Work Lights
Optional platform work lights may be located on the top
rail of the platform (refer to Figure 4.14), one on each
side of the upper control panel.
Figure 4.14 – Platform Work Light
Use the platform lights to improve visibility while work-
ing aloft in dimly lit areas. Do not use the platform work
lights to drive on public roadways.
Low Oil Pressure Alarm
The low pressure oil alarm sounds when the engine oil
pressure is near the lower limit for safe engine operation.
If the alarm sounds, lower the platform to the ground
and then turn the engine off. Do not restart the engine
until the condition that caused the low oil pressure has
been corrected.
If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating
value the engine will shut off. The engine can be re-
started with low oil pressure, but it will only run a few
seconds before it shuts off again.
Horn
The horn may be used to warn personnel on the ground.
The horn button is on the right side of the upper control
panel (refer to Figure 4.12). The horn is operational when
the emergency stop button and the start switches are
both on at the lower and the upper controls.

sonnel in the work area to stand clear.

top rear of the cowling, on either side of the extension
cylinder. The fl ashing lights warn personnel that the
aerial platform is in the area.
