OPERATING THE MACHINE
TB24 Plus&26J Plus Operation Manual 7-7 © Jun 2022
FALL HAZARD
The platform level switch can
only be used for slight leveling of
the platform; improper use may
cause the load/occupant to shift
or fall.
5. Depress the foot switch and meanwhile move
leftwards/rightwards the platform rotate switch to
rotate the platform clockwise or counterclockwise.
6. Depress the foot switch and meanwhile move
upwards/downwards the jib up/down switch to raise
or lower the jib boom. (TB26J Plus)
To drive:
1. Depress the foot switch and meanwhile move
forward/backward the drive/steer control handle to
drive the machine forward/backward.
2. To speed up: slowly move the control handle off
center.
3. To speed down: slowly move the control handle
towards center.
4. To stop: return the control handle to center or
release the foot switch.
When the boom is in operating position, the machine
drive speed will be restricted.
To steer:
Depress the foot switch and meanwhile move forward
the drive/steer control handle and press the left/right
side of the thumb rocker switch on top of the handle to
steer left/right.
To select drive speed:
1. The machine in non-operating position can be
switched between two drive speed modes (high/low
speed).
2. In the process of driving, move the drive high/low
speed select switch to select the desired drive
speed.
TIPPING HAZARD
The machine must be driven at low
speed when tilted.
When in operating position, the machine can only drive
at operating speed, and operation of the drive high/low
speed select switch will not enable the high speed
mode.
DRIVING ON A SLOPE
TIPPING HAZARD
• Do not operate the machine on
the slope exceeding the maximum
slope rating (5°).
• Do not drive the machine across
the slope exceeding the maximum
side slope rating (14°).
• Do not drive the machine on the
slope exceeding the machine
gradeability.
Before driving on a slope:
1. Determine the gradeability (climbing ability) of the
machine.
Maximum gradeability:
Uphill:45%/24°
Downhill:30%/17°
Side slope:25%/14°
2. Ensure the machine is in stowed position.
3. Ensure the slope grade is within the limits of the
machine gradeability.
NOTICE
Gradeability refers to the maximum permissible
percentage of the slope (or called slope grade as
below) when the machine is on solid ground with
sufficient traction and the platform is carrying only
one person. As the weight of the machine’s platform
increases, the machine’s gradeability reduces.
To determine the slope grade:
