Note
If necessary, the machine may be lifted with a forklift from
the either side under the pothole protector skids.
4. Do not raise the aerial platform higher than necessary
to transport it. Drive the forklift slowly and carefully
when transporting the aerial platform.
Driving
Use the following procedure to drive the aerial platform
onto the transport vehicle:
1. Locate the transport vehicle so it is in a straight line
with the loading ramp.
2. Chock the vehicle wheels so it cannot roll away from
the ramp while the machine is loaded.
3. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other
loose objects from the platform.
4. Retract the platform extension deck and fully lower
the aerial platform into the stowed position.
5. Using the upper controls, drive the aerial platform
to the foot of the loading ramp with the front wheels
nearest the ramp. Make sure the aerial platform is
centered with the ramps and that the steering wheels
are straight.
A
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over ac-
cident. Set the drive range to low before driving up
or down a grade.
6. Press the low speed drive button.
7. Drive the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle
in a straight line through the grade transitions with
minimal turning.
8. Chock the machine wheels.
Winching
Use the following procedure to winch the aerial platform
onto the transport vehicle:
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.
