2. SAFETY DEVICES
2 - 1 P/N 0112478
For emergency-operation controls and
procedures see the “EMERGENCY
OPERATION” chapter in this manual.
The devices listed in this chapter are safety
devices. They are on a TB100J to increase
safety in the work place for both the operator and
other people near a TB100J. Do not by-pass,
disable, modify, or ignore any of these devices.
Check them carefully at the start of each work
shift to see that they are in working order (see
“DAILY INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE”
chapter). If any is found to be defective, remove
the TB100J from service immediately until a
qualified service technician can make repairs.
T
TILT-ALARM HORN, SIREN, & LIGHT
There is one tilt-alarm siren, one tilt-alarm horn,
and one tilt-alarm warning light on a TB100J.
1
The siren (1) is located under the platform-
control box.
2
3
The horn (2) is located in the turntable under the
tilt alarm sensor (3).
The warning light is on the platform-control box.
The siren will emit a two-toned sound (high-low-
high-low...) if the TB100J is tilted more than 3.5
°
(7 inch rise in 10 foot run / 18 cm rise in 3 m run)
and the booms are above horizontal or extended
more than 7 feet (2 m). The warning light will
come on and the horn will emit a continuous
sound at the same time the siren sounds.
NOTE: The platform siren will not sound if the
TB100J is bring controlled from the ground-
control box.
After the siren and/or horn begins to sound, if the
tilt continues to increase, the TB100J can tip
over. When you are in control of a TB100J and
you hear either of these two warning sounds, or
see the warning light come on, you should
immediately:
1. Stop using the DRIVE/STEER controller stick
on the platform-control box.
2. Completely retract and completely lower the
booms.
3. Use the platform-control box DRIVE/STEER
controller to move the TB100J to a level surface
or more firm ground before extending or raising
the booms again.
