LOCKOUT CYLINDER SYSTEM TEST MUST BE PERFORMED QUARTERLY, ANY TIME A
SYSTEM COMPONENT IS REPLACED, OR WHEN IMPROPER SYSTEM OPERATION IS SUS-
PECTED.
NOTE: Ensure platform is fully lowered prior to beginning lockout cylin-
der test, and that the surface used to approach the ramp is flat
and level.
Left Side Wheel Test
1. Place a 4 in (10.16 cm) high block with ascension ramp in front
of left wheel of the oscillating axle.
2. From platform control station, select LOW drive speed.
3. Set the DRIVE control switch into position and carefully drive
the machine up ascension ramp until left oscillating axle wheel
is on top of block.
4. Verify the axle oscillates to maintain contact with the ground/
ramp. (All four wheels on the ground.)
5. Raise machine platform above stowed position to drive cutout
height.
6. Carefully drive the machine back off the block and ramp.
7. Have an assistant check to see that the left oscillating axle
wheel that was on the block remains elevated in position off of
the ground.
8. Return the machine to the stowed position. The lockout cylin-
der should release and allow wheel to rest on the ground. It
may be necessary to activate DRIVE to release cylinder.
9. If the lockout cylinders do not function properly, have qualified
personnel correct the malfunction prior to any further opera-
tion.

3. Set the DRIVE control switch into position and carefully drive
the machine up ascension ramp until right oscillating axle
wheel is on top of block.
4. Verify the axle oscillates to maintain contact with the ground/
ramp (all four wheels on the ground).
5. Raise machine platform above stowed position to drive cutout
height.
6. Carefully drive the machine back off the block and ramp.
7. Have an assistant check to see that the right oscillating axle
wheel that was on the block remains elevated in position off of
the ground.
8. Return the machine to the stowed position. The lockout cylin-
der should release and allow wheel to rest on the ground. It
