3.4 Features and devices
3.4-1 Lowered travel position and
elevated travel position
The available MEWP functions depend on these
factors:
▪
MEWP configuration (lowered travel position/
elevated travel position)
▪
Chassis angle
▪
Platform load.
The MEWP is in the lowered travel position when the
platform is below height “A” (refer to section 3.1).
The MEWP is in the elevated travel position when the
platform is at or above height “A” (refer to section 3.1).
When the platform is above the maximum drive
height, the drive function does not work (refer to
section 3.1).

3.4-2 Drive speed
The drive speed depends on the MEWP configuration
(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 7.4). When the tilt switch is on, and the MEWP
is in the elevated travel position, it disables the drive
and lift functions. An alarm makes a sound and an
amber light on the lower cross member flashes. 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 section 3.1 for
the location of the brake-release system.
