EMERGENCY STOP SWITCHES

At the ground-control box: Press the red
EMERGENCY STOP button in, at any time,
under any conditions, and the entire machine
stops, the engine turns off, and nothing moves.
This switch must be pulled up (out) for anything
on the TB126J to work.

At the platform-control box: Press the large
red EMERGENCY STOP button down and the
entire machine stops, the engine turns off, and
nothing moves. This switch must be pulled to its
up (out) position to control the TB126J from the
platform.

NOTE: The ground-control box is designed to
override the platform-control box. If the
platform-control box EMERGENCY STOP
button is down (off) the ground-control box
can still be used to start and operate the
TB126J.

LANYARD ANCHOR POINTS

OSHA regulations require all personnel on the
platform to attach the lanyard of their fall restraint
to a secure anchor point to prevent falls. The
anchorage point is the anchor to which you
should attach your fall restraint lanyard.

GRAVITY GATE

The gravity gate (1) is the place in the platform
guardrail system where you should enter and
leave the platform. Raise the gate and step
under it onto the platform. Once you have
entered the platform and attached your fall
restraint lanyard to the anchorage point (2),
check to see that the gravity gate (1) has fallen
back into place.
