and that any deciencies have been corrected. Never operate a damaged or malfunctioning ma-
chine. The operator must be thoroughly trained on this machine.

by operating the steering switch.

While operating the interlock switch, push the steering switch to right or left to turn the
wheels in the desired direction.
Observe the tyres while manoeuvring the machine to ensure it moves in the correct
direction.
ELEVATING PLATFORM
NOTE: If the chasis inclination exceeds the specication maximum inclination value, the tilt alarm
will sound and the machine will not lift or drive. If the tilt alarm sounds, the platform must be low-

drop-offs, persons and obstructions.
2. Verify that the chassis key switch is turned to platform control and the chassis emergency stop
switch is on by twisting and pulling the button out.
3. After mounting the platform, ensure gates are close behind you.
4. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of the machine.
5. Be aware of the potential crushing hazards when holding handrails while the platform is mov-
ing in close proximity to other objects.

reverse to travel in the desired direction.
The further you push or pull the joystick from the centre, the faster the machine will
travel.
