1. Drive Speed/Torque Select
The machine has a three posi-
tion switch - The forward posi-
tion gives maximum drive
speed. The back position gives
maximum torque for rough ter-
rain and climbing grades. The
center position allows the machine to be driven as qui-
etly as possible.
ONLY USE THE PLATFORM LEVELING OVERRIDE FUNCTION FOR
SLIGHT LEVELING OF THE PLATFORM. INCORRECT USE COULD CAUSE
THE LOAD/OCCUPANTS TO SHIFT OR FALL. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
2. Platform Leveling Override
A three position switch allows the operator
to adjust the automatic self leveling system.
This switch is used to adjust platform level
in situations such as ascending/descending a grade.
3. Horn
A push-type Horn switch supplies electrical
power to an audible warning device when pressed.
4. Power/Emergency Stop Switch
A two-position red mushroom shaped
switch furnishes power to platform controls
when pulled out (on). When pushed in (off),
power is shut off to the platform functions.
