MOVING THE PLATFORM
The engine should already be running (as
described earlier in this chapter) before you start
this section.
Before you can raise or extend the main boom
the rear axles must be extended (see "EXTEND
& LOCK REAR AXLES" in this chapter).
D A N G E R
Be certain that the space into which you are
about to move the platform, boom, turntable,
and chassis is free of obstructions. Always
look in the direction of movement.
Do not operate near energized electrical
conductors. See the inside-front cover of this
manual for the minimum safe approach
distance to energized power lines.
D A N G E R
If you operate from the platform-control box,
be sure that the lanyard of your fall restraint
or harness is attached to an anchor point on
the platform mount. Also, be sure the gate is
closed behind you.
Each of the ways the platform can move is
shown in the following two-page spread. The
photos show the switches to push to move the
platform. The switch call-out numbers (on the
left-hand page) correspond to the illustration
numbers on the right-hand page.
NOTE: At the end of each work day the TB
120 should be returned to the stowed position
as described under STOWING in the
"STOWING & TRANSPORTING" chapter.
D A N G E R
Death or serious injury can result if a TB 120
tips over. A TB 120 might tip over if the rear
axles are retracted while the booms are up or
extended. The TB 120 should have its booms
completely retracted and completely down
before retracting the rear axles.
NOTE: The correct procedure for retracting
the rear axles is shown at the end of this
chapter under "RETRACT & LOCK REAR
AXLES."
