Figure 7.22 – Wiring Box
Some machines may have an electrical outlet at the plat-
form, but no power-input connector on the wiring box. In
that case, power is supplied by an optional AC generator.
An external power source is not required.
With the engine running, place the machine/generator
switch on the front of the upper control panel in the gen-
erator position to provide electrical power to the electrical
outlet at the platform and to the outlet on the end of the
generator housing.
Plug an electrical tool into the receptacle at the platform
and at the generator and try to operate the tool to verify
proper operation of the outlet.
The outlet is equipped with a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI). Use the following procedure to test the
GFCI.
. Push the test button (refer to Figure 7.23).

2. Plug an electrical tool into the outlet and verify the
power is off.
• If the power was off, push the reset button to
restore power.
• If the power was on, repair or replace the recep-
tacle.
Platform Control Cover
The machine may be equipped with an optional platform
control cover. Inspect the cover to ensure it fits properly
over the control panel.
Drive Motion Alarm
The machine may be equipped with an optional drive
motion alarm. Drive in both the forward and reverse direc-
tions to ensure that the alarm sounds to warn personnel
in the area that the aerial platform is in motion.
Flashing Light
The machine may be equipped with an optional flashing
light mounted to the top of the counterweight.
To inspect the flashing light:
. Turn the battery disconnect, pull the emergency stop
button outward at the lower controls, and turn the start
switch on.
2. Visually check to see that the light is flashing ap-
proximately one flash per second.
Note
There is not an off switch for the flashing light. The light
cannot be turned off while the start switch is in the on
position.
Sandblast Protection Kit
The optional sandblast protection kit protects the cylinders
from abrasion while sandblasting or from paint overspray.
Rubber covers protect each cylinder rod as it extends
and retracts. The covers prevent sand and paint from
damaging the cylinder seals and rod.
Inspect the covers while operating the machine to ensure
they are securely fastened and completely cover the cyl-
inder rod. Make sure there are no holes in the covers.
Driving and Work Lights
The machine may be equipped with driving lights and/or
platform work lights. Turn the engine on and use the
switch on the back of each light to momentarily turn it on
to see that it works.
Platform Glazier Package
Inspect the glazier trays (refer to Figure 7.24) and keeper
pins to make sure they are in good condition and are not
bent or distorted. The straps and padding must be in good
condition and not worn, cut or frayed.
