P/N 569300
21. Charging system
With the engine idling, the needle in the AMPS
gauge should not be to the left of “0” (left of “0” is
discharging).
NOTE: Leave the engine running for the next
step
22. Level sensor
With the SR engine running, push the level
sensor to the side as far as possible. The level
sensor alarm should sound.
23. Ground controls
Check the PLATFORM LIFT/LOWER switch (1)
to see that it is functioning properly by holding
the switch up to rise platform and pushing the
switch down to lower the platform.
In cold temperatures (below 50
°F/10°C ) check
to see that the HYDRAULIC OIL WARM-UP
switch (2) is functioning properly by turning the
switch on (up) for 5 to 10 minutes or until the
hydraulic oil tank is warm to the touch then turn
the switch off (down).
Pay particular attention to the EMERGENCY
STOP switch (3) to see that it turns the SR
engine off when struck.
24. Emergency lowering
To check the emergency lowering:
Raise the platform and turn the engine OFF at
the base-control panel KEY SWITCH.
Then open the emergency bleed-down valve
(1) by following the instructions on the
emergency lowering decal (2).
Screw the emergency bleed-down valve (1)
completely in after the platform is down.
25. Platform controls
Check all of the lift (1), drive (2), steer (3), and
outrigger (4, if present) functions from the
platform-control box to see that they cause the
SR to move the way it should. (for correct
operating procedures see the “OPERATION”
chapter).
