NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE
Perform the following procedures to operate the
ESP 19 platform lift vehicle.
Read and follow all safety precautions contained in
Section 1 and all responsibilities outlined in the ANSI
A92.3 reprint in Section 7 of this manual.
Check the lift vehicle for damage or worn parts. If
damage or part wear is found, do not operate the
vehicle until the problem is corrected.
Make sure battery charger cord is disconnected from
wall outlet. Place cord back into its box and close
and latch lid. LIFT WILL NOT OPERATE IF LID IS
NOT CLOSED SECURELY.
Turn the BATTERY ON/OFF switch, Figure 3-3, to
the ON position.
Observe the battery charge level indicator. Verify
that the battery charge level is 3/4 or more.
Figure 3-3. Battery On/Off Switch
Turn the UPPER CONTROL/OFF/LOWER
CONTROL key switch, Figure 3-1, to the UPPER
CONTROL position.
Enter the platform cage and close the entry gate.
LIFT WILL NOT OPERATE IF THE GATE IS NOT
CLOSED COMPLETELY.
Use the upper control box controls to operate the lift
vehicle.
Position the lift vehicle at the work area. Make sure
the vehicle is on a firm and level surface and that
there are no potential hazards such as speed
bumps, open floor drains, potholes, overhead
obstructions or electrically charged conductors. Do
not operate the lift vehicle if such hazards exist in
the immediate area.
NOTE: The lift vehicle is equipped with a level
sensor. When the vehicle is on a slope greater
than 1 degree, the level sensor disables all
functions other than platform lowering and
sounds an alarm beeper. Once the platform is
lowered, floor travel is again enabled to allow
travel to a level area.
During floor travel and lift operations, the alarm
beeper should sound. If the alarm beeper does not
work properly, do not operate the lift vehicle.
During lift platform descent, the amber caution light
should blink on and off. If the caution light does not
blink on and off, do not use the lift vehicle.
If any equipment motion continues after the
pushbutton, joystick, or selector switch is released,
press the
EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton, Figure 3-2.
All equipment motion should stop immediately.
At the end of each workday and whenever a low
battery alarm sounds, transport the lift vehicle to the
recharge site and plug in the charge cord. Verify that
the ON-CHARGING indicator lights up on the battery
charger.
NOTE: For more information on battery charging
operations, refer to the battery charging
procedure in paragraph 4-4.
To shut down the equipment, turn the UPPER
CONTROL/OFF/LOWER CONTROL key switch and
the BATTERY ON/OFF switch to OFF. Remove the
key to prevent unauthorized equipment operation.
