SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

This manual is designed to instruct you in the proper operation of your Aerial Platform, and to make you aware of the many Safety Hazards that could affect the safe use and operation of your Simon SILVER EAGLE. Operators must be aware of and comply with all manufacturer's instructions and OSHA / ANSI safety guidelines.

This Operator's Manual must be read prior to operating your self-propelled SILVER EAGLE Aerial Platform.

  • Only trained, competent personnel should operate the SILVER EAGLE Aerial Platform.
  • DO NOT exceed the safe working load of the unit in any configuration. Review this manual's specification data sheet regarding your particular model's capacities and dimensions.
  • DO NOT raise the boom sections unless the unit is on a firm, level surface. (Recommended surface level for driving while elevated not to exceed a 1.5 degree slope.)
  • DO NOT exceed the maximum platform horizontal pull of 66 lbs.
  • DO NOT alter, modify or disable any safety devices or interlocks.
  • DO NOT use the SILVER EAGLE Aerial Platform as a crane or hoist to lift oversized or hanging loads.
  • DO NOT sit, stand or climb on platform rails.
  • DO NOT use scaffolding, ladders or similar items to extend your reach while on the Aerial Platform.
  • DO NOT use the unit in electrical storms or in high wind situations.
  • OSHA approved safety belts and safety hats must be worn at all times when operating the SILVER EAGLE. Make sure that the entry bar to the platform is secured before operating.
  • Since the platform may be lowered from its ground controls, precautions should be taken to prevent unauthorized personnel from operating the ground controls while the platform is in use.
  • The operator should complete the "Daily Operational Checklist" found in this manual (see Table of Contents) prior to placing the unit in service.
Page 10

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

  • The operator should immediately report any noises, vibrations or malfunctions of the unit to supervisors.
  • The operator should note that the travel speed automatically decreases whenever the boom is elevated.
  • The operator shall ensure that the area surrounding the aerial lift is clear of personnel and equipment before driving the unit, or raising or lowering the platform.
  • The operator shall maintain a safe distance from overhead and ground obstacles, debris, drop-offs, holes, depressions, electrical wires and other hazards to travel.
  • The operator shall limit travel speed according to conditions of the ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel or any other factors that could cause hazard of collision or injury to personnel.
  • The operator shall use caution to prevent ropes, cords, hoses, etc. from becoming entangled in the unit's boom sections when being elevated, lowered, or repositioned.

THE BOOM OF THIS MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED!!

Maintain safe clearance from electrical lines and apparatus. You must allow for machine sway (side to side movement) when elevated, and electrical line movement. This machine does not provide protection from contact with or proximity to an electrically charged conductor.

You must AVOID CONTACT between any part of the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying up to 300 volts.

You must maintain a CLEARANCE OF AT LEAST 10 FEET between any part of the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying over 300 volts up to 50,000 volts. One foot additional clearance is required for every additional 30,000 volts.

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, any electrically charged conductor.

GAS OR DUAL FUEL UNITS

  • The operator should check fuel system for leaks or damaged fuel lines before operating unit. If any damage is found, the operator should contact supervisor immediately.
  • DO NOT refuel the SILVER EAGLE near sparks or open flames. Gasoline and propane vapors are highly explosive.

Page 24

WITH THE ADVANCED DESIGN OF THE SILVER EAGLE IT IS POSSIBLE TO DRIVE THROUGH LOCATIONS IN WHICH IT WOULD BE UNSAFE TO RAISE THE PLATFORM. THE OPERATOR MUST BE AWARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT. DO NOT RAISE THE PLATFORM IF THE MACHINE IS NOT ON A FIRM LEVEL SURFACE!!!! SAFE OPERATION BEGINS WITH A SAFE OPERATOR.

Perform Start-up Procedures. Remember to place the ground / platform selector in the "PLATFORM" position before going to the platform for operation.

Enter platform, close safety gate and attach safety belt.

DRIVING AND STEERING

Check that the route of travel to be taken is clear.

The foot pedal power switch must be fully depressed during all driving operations.

Push the drive controller lever "FORWARD" to give forward motion, or pull the lever back to give reverse motion.

The drive speed of the unit is proportional to the amount of movement of the lever. When any boom is elevated or extended, the machine operates at reduced speed.

Steering is achieved by depressing the rocker switch, on top of the lever, to the left or right as required.

Although the unit can be driven with the platform positioned at either end of the unit, the operator may find driving easier from the stowed position (platform located over non-steering axle). If driving is attempted with platform over "steering" end, it must be remembered that all directions given to the steer and drive controls will be reversed.

When descending a ramp (incline), it is necessary to control the speed of the unit. Slowing is achieved by moving the drive controller lever back towards the center (neutral) position.

BRAKING

For parking, the brakes are automatically applied when the drive controller lever is positioned in the center (neutral) position.

ACTUATION OF THE PLATFORM EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON WILL APPLY BRAKES IMMEDIATELY! THIS MAY CAUSE VIOLENT PLAT-FORM MOVEMENT AS MACHINE COMES TO A SUDDEN STOP.

Page 25

BOOM, SUPERSTRUCTURE AND PLATFORM

Depress the foot pedal to activate hydraulic system.

NOTE
NOTE

The foot pedal power switch must be fully depressed during platform operation.

Select the required function. Available functions are:

  • Lower boom "UP" or "DOWN"
  • Middle boom "UP" or "DOWN"
  • Upper boom "UP" or "DOWN"
  • Extend (telescope) boom "IN" or "OUT"
  • Superstructure swing "LEFT" or "RIGHT"
  • Platform level "FORWARD" or "BACKWARD"
  • Platform rotate "LEFT" or "RIGHT"

All of these functions are controlled by moving the appropriate lever forward or back.

Multiple control operation is possible by using more than one lever. However, this will reduce the flow to individual functions, slowing their response time.

EMERGENCY PUMP

If the engine is not operational:

  • Actuate the emergency pump switch.
  • Slowly move the required functions to lower the platform to the stowed position. Drive and steer functions are not available when using the emergency pump.

The emergency pump is designed for emergency descent only and should not be operated for extended periods of time.

EMERGENCY SYSTEM AND PROCEDURES

IF THE ENGINE FAILS WHILE THE OPERATOR'S PLATFORM IS RAISED AND/ OR EXTENDED, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLIMB DOWN THE BOOM ASSEMBLY. SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.

EMERGENCY ELECTRIC PUMP

Each SILVER EAGLE has an emergency pump which can be operated from the operator's platform or at the ground control station to safely return the platform to the ground position. Turn and hold the emergency pump switch to the "ON" position and operate the boom control levers for controlled descent.

The emergency pump is designed for emergency descent only and should not be operated for extended periods of time.

EMERGENCY DRIVE FUNCTION

The emergency pump will not provide control or operation of the drive or steering functions. Should it be necessary to move or steer the unit you must do the following.

WITHOUT optional towing package:

  • Securely attach the SILVER EAGLE to a tow vehicle.
  • Remove drive shaft from rear axle.
  • Remove steering cylinder rod end pin from steering linkage to allow steering wheels to track tow vehicle.
WITH optional towing package:

  • Securely attach the SILVER EAGLE to a tow vehicle with tow bar provided.
  • Disengage rear drive shaft by lifting back plate and moving the lever to the other side of the lock plate. (You have to rock the machine back and forth to accomplish this.)
  • Pull out on the steer wander valve.

The tow vehicle must have sufficient braking capability to stop itself as well as the SILVER EAGLE. Tow speed should not exceed 4 mph.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

  • Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. They must be protected from contamination (including rain) at all times.
  • Never open a hydraulic system or engine when there are contaminants in the air.
  • Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible lubricants may be as harmful as no lubrication.
  • ALWAYS clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic or engine systems.
  • Watch for makeshift "fixes" which can jeopardize safety as well as lead to more costly repairs.
  • Any work platform found not to be in safe operating condition should be removed from service until repaired. All repairs should be made by authorized personnel in conformance with the manufacturer's operating, maintenance, and repair manuals.
