Raising the Platform

To raise the plat form from the plat form con trol box

1. The engine must be running. If not, start it

from the platform control box as described
above.

Figure 8.19

2. Set the

Lift/Drive Selector

(see Figure

8.19) to lift (left).

NOTE

If the

Lift Indicator Light

is not lit, the

platform will not go up because: the chassis is
not level, the stabilisers are not properly set, or
the articulating axles are not set. Correct the
problem then continue.

Stabilisers

➜

If your ma chine is not fit ted with
sta bi lis ers you do not need to read
this sec tion.

NOTE:

Using the stabilisers.

The platform must be fully lowered to enable the
stabilisers to operate.

Once the platform is raised the stabilisers cannot
be set or adjusted.

Before operating the stabilisers check to see that
the ground conditions under the four stabiliser
pads is firm, stable and unobstructed.

If the platform is up and the ground
compresses unevenly under different
stabiliser pads the

might fall over

causing serious injury or death. Check the
level bubble frequently during operation. If
any movement of the bubble occurs,
immediately lower the platform and readjust
the stabilisers to re-center the bubble in the
ring.

When us ing the sta bi lis ers al ways check that all
four are firmly on the ground and that they are clear
of man hole cov ers, drains, etc., which may col -
lapse. If the ground is at all soft, steel plates at least
300mm x 300mm x 6mm should be placed un der
the feet to spread the weight.

Death or serious injury can result if an

tips over. Do not use the stabilisers to gain
extra working height, they are not designed
for that purpose. At least one of the
stabilisers should raise the

above the

ground - use the other three to level the

as necessary.
