Warning
The potential for an accident increases from improp-
erly driving or steering the aerial platform. Death
or serious injury could result from such accidents.
Make sure the upper control panel is at the front of
the platform, hooked on the guardrail, and hanging
inside the platform with the red upper control box
arrow facing the front of the platform.
Avoid driving the platform with the upper controls facing
the rear or side of the machine. In this position the ma-
chine is diffi cult to control because the drive and steer
control movements and their resulting machine move-
ments will not correspond.
Only operate from the upper controls when it is at the
front of the platform, hooked on the guardrail, and hang-
ing inside the platform with the red upper control box
arrow facing the front of the platform (refer to Figure
7.4). In this position the guardrail and upper control box
arrows will point the same direction, towards the front of
the machine.

Push the button inward to disconnect power from all
control circuits at the upper controls.
Twist the button clockwise to restore power.
Push the emergency stop button inward when the
upper controls are not in use to protect against unin-
tentional operation.
Both the lower and upper control emergency stop buttons
must be on to operate the machine.
Joystick
The joystick (refer to Figure 7.3) is used to either drive
the aerial platform or to raise and lower the platform after
selecting the appropriate function.
Press the high or low speed drive button to use the
joystick to drive the aerial platform.
Press the platform raise/lower button to use the joy-
stick to operate the platform functions.
Movement of the joystick in a given direction produces
a corresponding movement of the aerial platform. The
steering and drive functions may be operated separately
or simultaneously.
