Operating Procedures
This chapter explains how to properly start and
operate an TL39T. Read and understand all the
previous chapters in this manual before you begin
to operate an TL39T.
! CAUTION
Do not leave the TL39T engine running if you
are sandblasting. Sand drawn into the air
intake can erode engine parts.
■
Control Stations
An TL39T can be operated from the ground control
box or from the platform control box. There are
basically two differences between ground control
and platform control operations, both are safety
related:
1. The ground control station can override
the platform control station at any time. If
a person operating the machine from the
platform becomes incapacitated, a person
on the ground can always take over machine
control.
2. The stabilisers can only be selected from
the ground control station and only when the
booms are in the stowed position.
! DANGER
The TL39T is not Electrically Insulated in its
standard form.
Death or Serious Injury to operating
personnel, can occur if the machine should
come into contact with energized electrical
wires during operation.
DO NOT attempt to operate the TL39T ground
controls if the platform, booms, or any other
conducting part of an TL39T is in contact with
energized electrical wires or if there is an
immediate danger of such contact.
NOTE
See the “Electrical Hazard” section, in this
manual for a complete explanation of the hazards
concerning electricity.

Operation Considerations
To use this chapter, first decide whether you will be
starting and operating the TL39T from the ground
control box or the platform control box.

Stabiliser Operation
NOTE: All Stabiliser Operations
The stabilisers will only function when the platform
is fully lowered and the booms are stowed. Once
the booms are raised the stabilisers will not
operate.
Once the platform is raised the stabilisers cannot
be set or adjusted.
