Platform Controls
1. Emergency Stop Switch - A two-position, red, mushroom-
shaped emergency stop switch functions to provide 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).
ALWAYS POSITION EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH TO "OFF" POSITION (PUSHED IN) WHEN
MACHINE IS NOT IN USE.
2. Lift Select Switch - The lift switch provides for raising and
lowering the platform. Lift is activated by pressing the
switch and positioning the joystick forward or backward.
3. Drive Select Switch - The drive switch provides for driving
the machine. Drive is activated by pressing the switch and
positioning the joystick forward or backward.
4. Engine Start Switch (If Equipped) - A momentary contact,
push button type switch that supplies electrical power to
the starter solenoid when the emergency stop switch is in
the on position and the start button is depressed.
NOTE: When diesel engine-powered machines are turned on, the glow
plug indicator will illuminate on the platform control indicator
display, regardless of engine or ambient temperature. Do not
start the engine until the glow plug indicator light disappears.
5. Horn - This push button switch, when activated, permits the
operator to warn jobsite personnel when the machine is
operating in the area.
6. Speed Select Switch - This switch alternates between high
drive speed (rabbit) and low drive speed (turtle). If equipped
with differential lock (RT machines, 2WD only) the function
may be engaged with this switch.
NOTE: High/low drive speeds are disabled when the platform is raised
above the high drive cutout height (70 - 80 in [1.78 - 2.0 m]). At
this height, drive speed is restricted to 0.5 mph (0.8 kmh). When
platform is lowered below the high drive cutout height, high/low
drive speeds are enabled.
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE IF HIGH DRIVE SPEED OPERATES WHEN PLATFORM IS
RAISED ABOVE THE HIGH DRIVE CUTOUT HEIGHT.
