TRAVEL WITH WORK PLATFORM
ELEVATED
Travel with platform elevated ONLY on firm and level
surfaces.
Note: The work platform will travel at reduced speed
when in the elevated position, and only if the front
axle is parallel with the rear axle.
1. Check that the route is clear of persons, obstruc-
tions, holes and drop-offs, is level and capable of
supporting the wheel loads.
2. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of
platform.
3. Position the drive/lift switch to the DRIVE position.
4. Push the control lever to FORWARD or REVERSE
for the desired direction of travel.
If the machine quits driving and the tilt alarm sounds,
immediately lower the platform and move the ma-
chine to a level location before re-elevating the
platform.
EMERGENCY LOWERING
The emergency lowering valve is located at the front
of the machine at the base of the scissor assembly,
(Figure 3-1).
1. Open the emergency lowering valve by pulling on
the knob and holding it.
2. Once the platform is fully lowered, release the
knob to close the valve.
SWITCHING FUELS
(DUAL FUEL ONLY)
1. With engine running turn the fuel selector switch
(Figure 3-1) to the center position.
2. After the engine has quit running select the appro-
priate fuel supply.
3. Restart the engine.
AFTER USE EACH DAY

2. Park the machine on level ground, preferably under
cover, secure against vandals, children or unautho-
rized operation.
3. Turn the key switch to OFF and remove the key to
prevent unauthorized operation.
3.5 Parking Brake Release

Perform the following only when the machine will not
operate under its own power and it is necessary to move
the machine or when winching onto a trailer to trans-
port.
1. Close the needle valve by turning the knob clock-
wise.
2. Pump the brake release pump until the parking
brakes release and the wheels can be turned.
3. The machine will now roll when pushed or pulled.
4. Be sure to open the needle valve and verify that the
parking brakes have engaged before the machine is
operated.
Never operate work platform with the
parking brakes released. Serious injury or
damage could result.
