Chapter 4 – Safety Devices
This aerial work platform is manufactured with safety de-
vices, placards, and decals to reduce the likelihood of an
accident. For the safety of all personnel, do not disable,
modify, or ignore any safety device. Safety devices are
included in the daily prestart inspection.
A
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious
injury can result from such accidents. Do not alter,
disable, or override any safety device.
If any safety devices are defective, remove the aerial plat-
form from service until qualified maintenance personnel
can make repairs.
Emergency Stop Controls
There is an emergency stop control at the lower and up-
per controls.
At the lower controls, the emergency stop is a two-posi-
tion push button (refer to Figure 4.1).
Figure 4.1 – Lower Controls
Push the emergency stop button in to disconnect power
to all control circuits. Pull the button out to restore power.
Note
The lower controls override the upper controls. If the up-
per control emergency stop button is engaged, the lower
controls can still be used to operate the aerial platform.
At the upper controls, the emergency stop is a two-posi-
tion push button (refer to Figure 4.2).
Push the emergency stop button in to disconnect power
to the upper control circuits. Pull the button out to re-
store power.

Drive Motion Alarm
When the joystick is moved out of neutral to drive the
aerial platform, the alarm emits a loud beeping sound to
warn personnel in the work area to stand clear.
Pothole Protector Skids
The pothole protector skids automatically lower when the
platform is elevated approximately 61 cm (24
″
). Ground
clearance is reduced from 10.1 cm (4 ″ ) to 2.5 cm (1 ″ )
when the skids lock into position (refer to Figure 4.3).
