Fundamentals The Operating Instructins sectin prvides instructins fr each aspect f machine peratin. It is the peratr's respnsibility t fllw all the safety rules and instructins in the peratr's, safety and respnsibilities manuals. Using the machine fr anything ther than lifting persnnel and tls t an aerial wrk site is unsafe and dangerus. Only trained and authrized persnnel shuld be permitted t perate a machine. If mre than ne peratr is expected t use a machine at different times in the same wrk shift, they must all be qualified peratrs and are all expected t fllw all safety rules and instructins in the peratr's, safety and respnsibilities manuals. That means every new peratr shuld perfrm a pre-peratin inspectin, functin tests, and a wrkplace inspectin befre using the machine. Repair any functin that perates when either Emergency Stp buttn is pushed in.

Use the clr-cded directin arrws n the platfrm cntrls and n the platfrm t identify the directin the machine will travel. Machine travel speed is restricted when the platfrm is raised. Battery cnditin will affect machine perfrmance. Machine drive speed and functin speed will drp when the lw battery indicatr light is n r when the last light n the battery level indicatr is flashing. Errr Indicatr Light On If the errr indicatr light is n, push in and pull ut the red Emergency Stp buttn t reset the system. If the light stays n, tag and remve machine frm service. T Extend and Retract Platfrm 1 Step n the platfrm extensin release pedal n the platfrm tebard. 2 Grasp the platfrm guard rails carefully and push t extend the platfrm t the mid-psitin stp. 3 Step n the release pedal again and push t fully extend the platfrm. D nt stand n the platfrm extensin while trying t extend it. 4 Step n the platfrm extensin release pedal and pull t retract the platfrm t the midpsitin stp. Step again t fully retract the platfrm. Operatin Frm Grund with Cntrller Maintain safe distances between the peratr, machine and fixed bjects. Be aware f the directin the machine will travel when using the cntrller.
