CONTROLS AND OPERATING
PROCEDURES
This section contains information for the controls and
operating procedure for operation of the Aerial Lift Platform.
For information on the chassis and ground station controls
refer to Operating Controls - Crane, page 4-1.
Aerial Lift Controls
The controls described here are those controls that are used
in conjunction with the aerial lift equipment controls. The
Aerial Lift Platform movements are controlled by two
separate control systems - Aerial Lift Platform Controls
(primary) Figure 5-1 and Ground Controls (secondary)
Figure 5-2.
When operating the aerial lift controls make sure there are
no personnel, obstructions or equipment around or under the
work platform.
Do not operate the aerial lift if any of the control levers,
joysticks or switches controlling the boom or aerial platform
are loose, broken or do not return to the OFF position when
released.
Chassis cab ignition switch must be OFF in order for ground
control ignition switch to be operable.
