OPERATING CONTROLS
POWER ON SWITCH (FIGURE O)
Never use the power ON switch as a method for speed control. Speed control is
achieved by the hydraulic valve only. Using the on/off switch repeatedly will cause exces-
sive wear, causing premature replacement of electrical components. An Emergency Stop
Switch (E-Stop) is located by right hand (Figure P). To start machine, twist the E-Stop
until it pops up. There is a seat safety switch. The operator must be properly seated for
machine to operate. Push the ON button to start machine.
MACHINE START-UP PROCEDURE
Verify 70 amp circuit breaker is in “On” position (Figure Q).
Verify 48-volt blue plugs are
fi
rmly connected (Figure R).
Operator should be properly positioned on seat.
Twist E-Stop (Figure P) to “up” position.
Push green “ON” button.
Maneuver machine with hydraulic levers (see instruction below).
HYDRAULIC LEVERS (FIGURE S)
The hydraulic levers steer the machine. For smooth even movement, always move levers
slowly. Fast movement of control levers will result in jerky, uneven movement.
Both levers forward
move the machine forward.
Both levers backward
move the machine backward.
The left lever forward and the right lever backward
turn the machine quickly
to the right.
The left lever backward and the right lever forward
turn the machine quickly
to the left.
Only using the left or right lever forward
, turns the machine slowly to the right or left.
Only using the left or right lever backwards
, turns the machine slowly to the left or
right.
Correcting direction while moving forward is accomplished by slightly reducing pressure
on one lever or the other while moving.
The center position on levers causes wheels to lock-up.
Always chock wheels and tie down machine when transporting.
Control levers are low in vibration.
EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH (FIGURE P)
The emergency stop switch is designed to kill the power to the system.
SEAT SWITCH
The seat has a safety switch. Operator must be properly positioned for machine to run.
TO STORE MACHINE (FIGURE R)
When the machine is in storage, remove the blue plug and turn circuit breaker to off. This
will help to keep someone from operating the machine when it shouldn’t be.
