8. Operation
This is a safety feature to prevent the platform
from moving if a platform moving switch, or
controller, is accidentally pushed.
These platform moving switches, (Œ through Œ), will
produce the following movement.
1. Lower boom switch: Moving this switch up
will raise the lower boom, whilst pressing it
down will cause the lower boom to descend.
2. Upper boom switch: Moving this switch up
will raise the upper boom, whilst pressing it
down will cause the upper boom to descend.
3. Tele boom switch: Moving this switch to
the right causes the telescopic boom to
extend, whilst moving it to the left causes the
telescopic boom to retract.
4. Slew switch: Pressing this switch to the left
causes the column/boom/platform assembly
to rotate to the right, whilst pressing the switch
to the left causes the column/boom/platform
assembly to rotate to the left.
5. Platform level switch: Pressing the switch
to the left causes the platform to tilt forward
whilst moving the switch to the right causes
the platform to tilt backwards.
❑
Rotating the platform
A manual platform rotator is provided for this
purpose (see Figure 8.13).
Figure 8.13 - Platform Rotation
Turning the handle in an anti-clockwise direction
will rotate the platform to the left whilst turning
the handle in a clock wise direction will rotate the
platform to the right.

Transporting” chapter 10.
