2. SAFETY DEVICES
2 - 1 P/N 569300
The devices listed in this chapter are safety
devices. They are on an SR to increase safety in
the work place for both the operator and other
people near the machine. Do not by-pass,
disable, modify, or ignore any of these devices.
Check them carefully at the start of each work
shift to see that they are in working order (see
“DAILY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE”
chapter). If any is found to be defective, remove
the SR from service immediately until a qualified
service technician can make repairs.

EMERGENCY STOP SWITCHES
At the platform-control box: Press the large
red EMERGENCY STOP button in and the entire
machine stops, the engine turns off, and nothing
moves. This switch must be out (on) to control
the SR from the platform (turn the switch
clockwise and it will pop out.
At the base-control panel: Press the red
EMERGENCY STOP switch cover down, at any
time, under any conditions, and the entire
machine stops, the engine turns off, and nothing
moves. The EMERGENCY STOP switch must be
up for anything on the SR to work.
T
ALARMS
There are two alarms on an SR. One is located
in the platform-control box,
the other is located in the base-control box. The
alarms are connected in parallel, they both emit
the same pattern of sound at the same time. The
different alarm sound patterns are shown in the
table immediately below and discussed below the
table.
The high-temperature, low oil-pressure, and
alternator not-charging alarms are each a
continuous tone. The DRIVE (forward) and the
platform-lowering alarms beep at one beep per
second. DRIVE (reverse) beeps at two beeps per
second. The level sensor alarm is a high-low
warbling sound.
