Note
The upper controls will not operate while the control
selector is in the lower position.
9. Enter the platform and close the entry gate.
10. From the upper controls, pull the emergency stop
button outward.
11. Remove the wheel chocks and use the joystick and
winch together to position the aerial platform on the
transport vehicle.
Caution
Damage to the aerial platform and/or drive system
may occur if the joystick is not held in the forward
position while the winching process is being carried
out .
Driving
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over acci-
dent. Do not drive on ramps that exceed the machine
gradeability specification, 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 the machine gradeability specification.
A winch may also be used when poor traction, uneven
surfaces, or stepped ramp transitions make driving haz-
ardous.
Drive the aerial platform onto the transport vehicle if a
winch is not available and the ramp incline is within the
25 percent grade capability of the aerial platform.
Use the following procedure to drive 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. Chock the vehicle wheels so it cannot roll away from
the ramp while the aerial platform is loaded.
3. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other
loose objects from the platform.
4. Drive the aerial platform 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 wheels are straight.
5. Drive the aerial platform on or off the transport vehicle
in a straight line through the grade transitions with
minimal turning.
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
wheels are straight.
4. Properly stow the aerial platform.
5. Chock the wheels to prevent uncontrolled motion of
the aerial platform.
6. Insert the winch line through the folk lift pockets (refer
to Figure 10.3 and 10.4) on the front of the chassis.

Note
This machine is not fitted with a brake release. To
release the wheels while winching, the machine needs to
be fully opperational with the joystick in the forward
position.
7. From the lower controls, pull the emergency stop
button outward.
8. Place the control selector switch upward in the upper
controls position.
