1. Position the transport vehicle so the aerial platform
will not roll forward after it is loaded.
2. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other
loose objects from the platform.
3. Drive the machine to the foot of the loading ramp
with the front wheels nearest the ramp. Make sure
the machine is centered with the ramps and that the
steering wheels are straight.
4. Properly stow the aerial platform.
A
Warning
The aerial platform is free to move when the brakes
are released. Death or serious injury can result. Re-
enable the brakes before operating the aerial plat-
form.
5. Chock the wheels to prevent uncontrolled motion of
the aerial platform.
6. Unlatch and swing out the hydraulic tray on the right
side of the chassis. The free-wheeling valve is lo-
cated on the hydraulic manifold (refer to Figure 10.3).
Turn the free-wheeling valve counterclockwise to the
fully open position.

stop to reset the parking brakes.
12. Verify that the drive system and brakes operate prop-
erly before operating the aerial platform.
Driving
A
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-
stable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-
over accident. Do not drive on ramps that exceed
20 percent grade, or where conditions of the ramp
could cause driving to be hazardous.
Use a winch to load and unload the aerial platform on
ramps that exceed a 20 percent grade. A grade of 20
percent is a 61 cm (24 ″) vertical rise in 3.05 m (10′) hori-
