SECTION 4. MACHINE OPERATION
4.1 DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift equipped with a
work platform on the end of an elevating and rotating boom.
Vibrations emitted by these machines are not hazardous to
an operator in the work platform.
The primary operator control station is in the platform. From
this control station, the operator can drive and steer the
machine in both forward and reverse directions. The opera-
tor can raise or lower the boom or swing the boom to the left
or right. Standard boom swing is 360 degree continuous left
and right of the stowed position. The machine has a Ground
Control Station which will override the Platform Control Sta-
tion. Ground Controls operate Boom Lift and Swing, and are
to be used in an emergency to lower the platform to the
ground should the operator in the platform be unable to do
so.
