Chapter 5. Gauges

The aerial platform is equipped with several gauges to
monitor the condition of the machine before and during
operation.

Hour Meter

The hour meter is located on the lower control panel (re-
fer to Figure 5.1). It measures the accumulated aerial
platform operating time.

Figure 5.1—Lower Controls

Ammeter

The ammeter is located on the battery charger (refer to
Figure 5.2). When the batteries are charging, the am-
meter displays the level of current flow from the charger
to the batteries.

Figure 5.2—Battery Charger

Battery Condition Indicator

The optional battery condition indicator (refer to Figure
5.3) is located on the upper control panel. It displays the
level of available battery power to operate the aerial
platform. The number one on the scale indicates full
power and zero indicates no power.
