Electric Emergency Bleed Down System
The main boom can be lowered in an emergency using
the electric emergency bleed down system. The electric
emergency bleed down system is located on both the
upper controls and on the junction box located on the
left side of the machine. Use this method if the engine
will not start and the emergency power system will not
work.
Use the following procedure to lower the boom using
the electric emergency bleed down system. This proce-
dure can be used from the upper or lower bleed down
switches.
1. Turn key to the off position.
2. Pull the emergency stop button out.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-
stable. Death or serious injury can result from a tip-
over accident. When using the bleed down systems
the boom must retract and lower at the same time.
If the boom does not retract while lowering, cease
operations immediately.
3. Toggle and hold the emergency bleed down switch-
es on both sides of the panel simultaneously (refer
to Figure 10.5) Hold the switches in the up position
to lower and retract the boom.
