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 facing the front of
the platform, hooked on the guardrail, and hanging
inside 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 difficult to control because the drive and steer
control movements and their resulting machine move-
ments will not correspond.
Only operate the upper controls when the panel is facing
the front of the platform ( entry gate ), securely fastened
on the guardrail inside the platform (Refer to Figure 7.4).

control circuits at the upper controls.

Push the emergency stop button inward when the
upper controls are not in use to protect against unin-
tentional operation.
Note
The lower controls override the upper controls. If the
upper control emergency stop is engaged the lower
controls can still be used to operate the aerial platform.
Push the button in when the upper controls are not in use
to help protect against unintentional platform operation.

tions can not be operated at the same time.
