Retracting The Rear Axles
The axles can be retracted by basically reversing the
above procedure.
A
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-
stable. Death or serious injury can result from a tip-
over accident. In the event of a system malfunction,
do not retract the axles while the booms are el-
evated.
The booms must be completely retracted and lowered
before retracting the rear axles.

form and positioning the booms and platform while on the

tions using the upper controls.
1. At the lower controls, place the emergency stop
switch in the on position and turn the start switch on.
Place the controls switch in the platform position.
2. On dual fuel machines, set the fuel switch to either
LPG or gasoline.
