3.11 DRIVING
DO NOT DRIVE WITH PLATFORM RAISED EXCEPT ON A SMOOTH, FIRM AND LEVEL
SURFACE WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE MAXIMUM OPERATING SLOPE, FREE OF
OBSTRUCTIONS AND HOLES. TO AVOID LOSS OF TRAVEL CONTROL OR UPSET ON
GRADES AND SIDESLOPES, DO NOT DRIVE MACHINE ON GRADES EXCEEDING THOSE
SPECIFIED IN SECTION 6.
Steering
To steer the machine, the thumb operated steer control switch on
the joystick controller handle is positioned to the right for travel-
ing right, or to the left for traveling left. When released, the switch
will return to the center-off position and the wheels will remain in
the previously selected position. To return the wheels to the
straightened position, the switch must be activated in the oppo-
site direction until the wheels are centered.
Driving Forward
1. Place the power selector switch at the ground control sta-
tion to platform.
2. Position the emergency stop switch at the platform control
station to the on position.
3. Press the drive switch and move the joystick forward and
hold for the duration of travel.
Drive speed is determined by the distance the joystick is
moved from the center off position. For additional drive
speed, position the high drive speed switch to high while
operating in the drive forward mode.
