9. Emergency Operation
■ Emergency Operation Procedures
The following procedures are emergency proce-
dures only. DO NOT use them for normal operation.
Their purpose is to get the platform and operator
safely to the ground when the SRT will not start or
some other problem keeps the platform from lower-
ing in the normal way, or to move the SRT a short
distance to a safe place when the motor will not
start.
There are three forms of emergency operation for
the SRT.Emergency stop, emergency bleed-down,
and pushing.
Each is covered as a separate section below.
■ Emergency Stop
There are two Emergency Stop switches on an
SRT.
One is located on the platform control box.
One is located on the ground control box.
Push either Emergency Stop switch, at any time,
and the entire machine stops, the engine turns off,
and nothing moves.
Functionally, the Emergency Stop switches do the
same thing as turning the Main Power switch to off.
The Emergency Stop switches are designed to be
easier to find and faster to use than key switches.
To reset the Emergency Stop switch at the plat-
form control box, turn it clockwise and it will pop out
(on).
To reset the Emergency Stop switch at the ground
control box, raise the red switch-cover and push the
switch up. The SRT engine can then be restarted in
the normal way.
■ Emergency Bleed-Down
The SRT platform can be lowered from the platform
control box anytime there is electricity to the plat-
form control box — the SRT engine does not have
to be running. If you are working from the platform
and the engine dies and cannot be restarted, do the
following:
1. Check to be sure the Emergency Stop
switch (1) is pulled out (on).
2. Set the Selector switch (2) to the platform
function (left).
3. Squeeze the Safety Control (3) and pull
the Joystick Controller (4) back. The
platform should lower. If it does not lower,
call for help from someone on the ground.
