Start Switch
The engine can be started from the platform using the
anti-restart master switch on the front of the upper con-
trol panel (refer to Figure 6.6). This switch is similar to
an automobile ignition switch.
Turn the switch to start until the engine starts, then
release it to on.
If the engine dies, the switch must be turned to off
before it can be turned back to start.
An alarm sounds when the switch is turned on to warn
others that the machine engine is being started.

Note
On some machines it may be necessary to pause about
three seconds in the on position before going to start so
the starter can engage.
If the platform is to stay in a particular position for a
long time, turn the switch to off to shut off the engine
and save fuel
Emergency Stop Button
The emergency stop is a two-position, red push button on
the top of the upper control panel (refer to Figure 6.6).
Push the button inward to disconnect power to all
control circuits at the upper controls.
Pull the button outward to restore power.
Note
The lower controls override the upper controls. If the up-
per control emergency stop button is engaged the lower
controls can still be used to operate the aerial platform.
Push the emergency stop button inward when the
upper controls are not in use to protect against un-
intentional operation.
Drive Joystick
The drive joystick (refer to Figure 6.6) is used to control
forward and reverse motion of the aerial platform. It is
also used to steer the machine. The steering and drive
functions may be operated simultaneously.
