2.5 Winching and Towing Procedure
This section provides the operator with procedure about
winching and towing and how to release the brakes.
WARNING
Ensure platform is fully lowered before
winching or towing. Sudden motion could
cause the aerial platform to become
unstable. Death or serious injury could
result.
WARNING
In emergency situations where aerial
platform functions are not available and
lowering is impeded by an obstacle,
utmost care must be taken to move aerial
platform far enough to clear obstacle. In
such cases, operation must be extremely
smooth with no sudden movements and
must not exceed a speed of 50 mm/sec.
WARNING
When pushing, winching or towing, do
not exceed 3.2 km/h.
WARNING
Do not push, winch or tow aerial platform
onto a slope, or brake the towing vehicle
rapidly. Do not pull aerial platform down
an incline towards a winch.
2.5-1 To Release the Free-wheeling Valve

rolling.

2. Free-wheeling Valve - Turning the valve knob
counterclockwise (item 1) to a fully opened
position allows fluid to flow through the wheel
motors, thus providing “free-wheeling”.
WARNING
The free-wheeling valve must be closed
tightly (clockwise) for normal operation.
