When the tilt alarm sounds, completely retract and lower
the main boom and then drive to a level surface.
The tilt alarm is for added protection and does not
justify operating on anything other than firm, flat, level
surfaces.
Engine Protection Systems
A light in the emergency stop button will illuminate to
warn against high engine temperature.
The engine will shutdown if the operating temperature
exceeds a preset level or if the oil pressure is too low for
safe operation. An engine temperature gauge is on the
top of the lower control panel (refer to Figure 4.11).
Figure 4.11 – Lower Control Panel
High Engine Temperature Alarm
If the coolant exceeds the engine operating temperature,
a light in the emergency stop button will illuminate and
the engine will shut off.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that caused
the overheating has been corrected.
Low Oil Pressure Alarm
If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating
value the engine will shut off after 30 seconds. The
engine can be restarted with low oil pressure, but it will
only run a few seconds before it shuts off again.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that caused
the low oil pressure has been corrected.
Horn
The optional horn may be used to warn personnel on
the ground. The horn button is on the right side of the
upper control panel (refer to Figure 4.12). The horn is
operational when the emergency stop button and the
start switched are both on at the lower and the upper
controls.

Drive Motion Alarm
An optional drive motion alarm may be provided on the
machine. When the drive/steer control is moved out of
neutral the alarm sounds, in short beeps, to warn per-
sonnel in the work area to stand clear.
Flashing Light
An optional red or amber flashing light may be located
on the top of the boom near the base end. The flashing
light warns personnel that the aerial platform is in the
area.
The light flashes at about one flash per second when
the engine is running.
Driving Lights
Optional headlights and blinking tail lights may be in-
stalled on the machine. The headlights are located on
the top of the front cowling. The tail lights are mounted
on the sides of the rear cowling.
Driving lights help improve visibility while driving the
aerial platform and help others see it too. Driving lights
are not for driving on public roadways.
Platform Work Lights
Optional platform work lights may be located on the top
rail of the platform (refer to Figure 4.13), one on each
side of the upper control panel.
Figure 4.13 – Platform Work Light
Use the platform lights to improve visibility while work-
ing aloft in dimly lit areas. Do not use the platform work
lights to drive on public roadways.
