8. EMERGENCY OPERATION
8 - 1 P/N 569300
There are three forms of emergency operation
for the SR: emergency stop, emergency bleed-
down, and pushing. Each is covered as a
separate section below.
T
EMERGENCY STOP
There are two EMERGENCY STOP switches on
an SR.
One is located on the platform-control box.
One is located on the base-control panel.
Push either EMERGENCY STOP switch, at any
time, and the entire machine stops, the engine
turns off, and nothing moves.
Functionally, the EMERGENCY STOP switches
do the same thing as turning the MAIN POWER
switch to off. The EMERGENCY STOP switches
are designed to be easier to find and faster to
use than key switches.
To reset the EMERGENCY STOP switch at the
platform-control box, turn it clockwise and it will
pop out (on). To reset the EMERGENCY STOP
switch at the base-control panel, raise the red
switch-cover and push the switch up. The SR
engine can then be restarted in the normal way.
T
EMERGENCY BLEED-DOWN
The SR platform can be lowered from the
platform-control box anytime there is electricity to
the platform-control box -- the SR engine does
not have to be running. If you are working from
the platform and the engine dies and cannot be
restarted, do the following:
1. Check to be sure the EMERGENCY STOP
switch (1) is pulled out (on).
2. Set the SELECTOR switch (2) to the platform
function (left).
3. Squeeze the SAFETY CONTROL (3) and pull
the JOYSTICK CONTROLLER (4) back. The
platform should lower. If it does not lower, call for
help from someone on the ground.
The person on the ground should do the
following:
1. Check to be sure the BATTERY switch (5) is
ON.
