3.4 PLATFORM CONTROL STATION
(Refer to Figure 3-2.)
1. Start Switch - A momentary contact, push button type
switch that supplies electrical power to the starter sole-
noid when the emergency stop switch is in the on posi-
tion and the start button is depressed.
2. Controller (Joystick) - The Joystick controls three func-
tions: drive, lift, and drive/lift speed. The drive or the lift
function switch must be selected prior to moving the
machine with the Joystick. The speed is controlled by
the travel distance of the Joystick.
3. Steer Switch - The thumb-operated steer switch on top
of the Joystick handle activates the steer wheels in the
direction it is moved (right or left).
4. Speed/Generator Switch - The three position speed/
generator switch permits the operator to select either
high range, low range or the generator (if equipped).
NOTE: The machine cannot be lifted up from platform controls or
driven when the generator is selected.
4 wheel drive is operational in low drive only.
DO NOT USE HIGH ENGINE SPEED WHEN DRIVING IN CLOSE QUAR-
TERS OR WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE.
NOTE: If machine is being operated in high range speed and the
platform is raised above 90-96 in. (2.3-2.4m), the engine
speed switch will cut-out returning drive speed to low
until the platform is again lowered below the cut-out level.
5. Emergency Stop Switch - A two-position, red, mush-
room-shaped emergency stop switch functions to pro-
vide power to the platform control station and also to
turn off power to the platform function controls in the
event of an emergency. With the Power selector switch
positioned to platform, power is turned on by pulling the
switch out (on), and is turned off by pushing the switch
in (off).
DO NOT “LIFT DOWN” WITHOUT COMPLETELY RETRACTING THE
PLATFORM EXTENSION.
6. Lift Select Switch - The lift switch provides for raising and
lowering the platform. Lift is activated by pressing the
enable switch and positioning the joystick forward or
backward.
