ling boom swing and lift from the ground. The PLAT-
FORM/GROUND SELECT SWITCH is a self-centering
switch. Hold SELECT SWITCH in GROUND position and
operate the desired function switch.

power failure, to lower the upper and lower booms using
gravity. To operate the manual descent system, proceed
as follows:
1.
Locate manual descent knob on main valve and turn
CW(clockwise). Install handle into manual descent
pump and lower the Mid and Lower Booms by
pumping the handle until they are completely low-
ered.

and lower the Upper (or main) Boom by pumping
the handle until it is completely lowered. Return
manual descent knob to center position and stow
handle in bracket provided.

The manual swing override is used to manually swing
boom and turntable assembly in the event of a total power
failure when the platform is positioned over a structure or
obstacle. To operate the manual swing override, proceed
as follows:
