Features and devices Section 3 – Familiarization
3.4-2 Drive speed
The drive speed depends on the MEWP conguration
(lowered travel position/elevated travel position).
When the MEWP is in the elevated travel position, the
speed is slower than the speed in the lowered travel
position. Refer to Section 7.3.
3.4-3 Tilt switch
This device senses when the MEWP has passed a
predetermined angle in the longitudinal (front-to-back)
or lateral (side-to-side) direction. Refer to Section 7.5.
When the tilt switch is on, and the MEWP is in the
elevated travel position, it disables the drive and lift
functions and an alarm makes a sound. If the alarm
makes a sound, fully lower the platform. Level the
MEWP before you raise the platform.
3.4-4 Brake release system
This system disengages the brakes manually before
you push, winch, or tow the MEWP. Refer to
Section 6.2 for the procedure. Refer to Figure 02 for
the location of the brake-release system.

Fall-protection anchorage: When required, use
this as a point to attach personal fall protection
equipment (PFPE). Do not attach the PFPE to
any other points on the platform. Do not use
this anchorage to lift, anchor, attach, or hold the
platform, or other apparatuses or material.
WARNING
Only use the fall protection anchorage in the limits
of the platform. Do not use the fall protection
anchorage for other than its intended function
(refer to Section 2.3). If you use it incorrectly,
death, serious injury, and/or MEWP damage can
occur.
