The following descriptions are for identification,
explanation and locating purposes only.
3.5-1 Manual Storage Box
This weather-resistant box is mounted on the Mast. It
contains operating manual and certificate.

Figure 3-1. Manual Storage Box
1. The operating manual for this make and model of
aerial platform must remain with the aerial platform
and should be stored in this box.
3.5-2 Battery Charger
The charger is located at the front of the base. Refer to
Section 3.12-2 for battery charging operation.

3.5-3 Pothole Protection Device

Figure 3-3. Pothole Protection Device
1. Pothole Protection Device - This device consists
of a set of mechanically actuated steel weldments
located under the base. These weldments will
automatically rotate for reduced ground clearance
when elevating the aerial platform. If the pothole
protection device has not fully lowered, the drive
function will be disabled.
WARNING
Crushing Hazard - Personnel on ground
must stay clear of pothole protection
device.
WARNING
Do not drive elevated in areas where
electrical cords or debris are in the path
of travel.
Maintenance of the Pothole
Protection Device
As with all safety devices, periodic inspection and
maintenance is required to ensure the proper
operation of the pothole protection device.
This mechanism is designed to reduce ground
clearance and assist in the stability of an elevated
aerial platform in the event the aerial platform
encounters a “drop-off” or “pothole.” The nature
of this safety feature relies on maintaining a
consistent ground clearance, therefore, if the aerial
platform ever does come to rest on the pothole
device, the platform should be immediately
lowered and “locked out” to prevent further use
until a complete inspection of the mechanism is
performed by a qualified technician.
