Flashing Light
An amber flashing light may be located on the top of
the boom near the base end (refer to Figure 4.9). The
flashing light warns personnel that the aerial platform is
in the area.
The light flashes at about one flash per second when the
engine is running.
Driving Lights
Optional headlights and blinking tail lights may be installed
on the machine. The headlights are located on the top of
the front cowling. The tail lights are mounted on the sides
of the rear cowling.
Driving lights help improve visibility while driving the aerial
platform and help others see it too. Driving lights are not
for driving on public roadways.
Platform Work Lights
Optional platform work lights may be located on the top
rail of the platform (refer to Figure 4.0), one on each side
of the upper control panel.
Figure 4.10 – Platform Work Lights
Use the platform lights to improve visibility while working
aloft in dimly lit areas. Do not use the platform work lights
to drive on public roadways.
Low Oil Pressure Alarm
The low oil pressure alarm sounds when the engine oil
pressure is near the lower limit for safe engine operation.
If the alarm sounds, lower the platform to the ground and
then turn the engine off. Do not restart the engine until
the condition that caused the low oil pressure has been
corrected.
If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating value
the engine will shut off. The engine can be restarted with
low oil pressure, but it will only run a few seconds before
it shuts off again.
Horn
The horn may be used to warn personnel on the ground.
The horn button is to the right of the emergency stop
button on the upper control panel (refer to Figure 4.9).
The horn is operational when the machine is set up for
operation from the upper controls.
