Before the SILVER EAGLE is put into use each day, or cold-started after an extended period during use, the following checks should be completed to ensure that the machine is safe and in good condition:
All operators must thoroughly read and understand the section of this manual entitled "Safety Rules and Precautions" prior to operating this machine.
A complete visual inspection of the machine should be performed prior to operational checks.
BE SURE BOOM TRAVEL AREA IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE IF THESE CHECKS REVEAL A DEFECT.
All machine operations should stop upon release of power switch.
Select the "LOW" engine RPM setting. Allow the engine to slow to idle speed. Shut the engine off.
With engine off:
The emergency pump is designed for emergency descent only and should not be operated for extended periods of time.
If engine has been running for ground operational checks, it should not require choke to re-start.
BE SURE BOOM TRAVEL AREA IS CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE IF THESE CHECKS REVEAL A DEFECT.
All machine operations should stop upon release of foot pedal.
THE MOVEMENT ALARM IS PROVIDED FOR YOUR PROTECTION, AND THE PROTECTION OF PERSONS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
DISABLING THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICE MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
With the platform swung over the steering wheels, use caution when selecting the travel direction. Travel direction will be opposite drive controller movement and steering direction will be opposite steering rocker switch operation.
_____ Listen for any unusual noises.
_____ Check for any vibration.
Check for uneven or jerky operation.
Check for hydraulic leaks.
٠ | Switch the drive speed selector switch to "HI" and repeat the drive tests with the boom stowed and raised. |
---|---|
A gear change should only be made with drive controller in center
(NEUTRAL) position. High gear should only be used on firm, level surfaces. |
|
|
|
• | Operate the steering rocker switch and check for proper steering control. |
٠ | Return the machine to the stowed position. |
• |
Release the foot pedal. Turn the engine speed control to "LOW", and allow the en-
gine to slow to idle speed. |
٠ | Shut the engine off. |
All machine functions should stop upon release of the foot pedal. | |
EMERGE | NCY PUMP OPERATION AND CHECKS |
With e | ngine off: |
٠ | Actuate the emergency pump switch. |
٠ | Slowly move the lower boom lever in the "UP" direction. |
|
|
٠ | Once movement has been established, return the boom section to the stowed position |
The emergency pump is designed for emergency descent only and should not be operated for extended periods of time. |
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.
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.
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:
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.
If the engine is not operational:
The emergency pump is designed for emergency descent only and should not be operated for extended periods of time.
Turn the ignition switch to "START" while engaging the "CHOKE" with the choke/ glow plug switch. As soon as the engine starts, allow both switches to return to their center positions.
• Turn the dual fuel switch to "GAS" and operate the machine as normal.
• Turn the fuel selector switch to "GAS". No special procedures are required.
When operating on propane, the engine will run for several seconds after the ignition is shut off. This allows the propane to clear the intake manifold.
• Turn the "ENGINE" switch to the "GLOW PLUG" position and hold for 30 to 45 seconds prior to engaging the starter motor.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO AVOID SUDDEN BRAKING WHEN THE GROUND SURFACE IS ICY. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL DRIV-ING OPERATIONS ARE CARRIED OUT SLOWLY AND A SAFE MAR-GIN IS ALLOWED FOR MANEUVERING AROUND OBJECTS.
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.
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.
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.
The tow vehicle must have sufficient braking capability to stop itself as well as the SILVER EAGLE. Tow speed should not exceed 4 mph.
SITUATION: Platform elevated, operator not incapacitated, but unit will not respond to platform controls.
HAVE AN EXPERIENCED OPERATOR USE THE EMERGENCY PUMP CONTROL AT GROUND STATION TO SAFELY LOWER THE PLAT-FORM. REPORT THE INCIDENT TO YOUR SUPERVISOR IMMEDI-ATELY.
DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE YOU TOUCH THE MACHINE.
WARNING
Any incident involving personal injury must be immediately reported to the local Simon Aerials Distributorship as well as to Simon Aerials Inc.
All checks must be completed before operation of the Simon SILVER EAGLE.

Simon Aerials Inc. (the "Company") warrants, to the original Buyer only,
If the Buyer discovers within the warranty period a failure to conform to the Company's published specifications or a defect in material or workmanship, it must promptly submit written notice of such condition to the Company and return the nonconforming part(s) to the factory, freight prepaid, together with a properly completed Simon Aerials Inc. Warranty Claim Form as furnished by the Company. In no event shall such notice be accepted later than 30 days following expiration of the applicable warranty period. If, after inspection by factory Quality Assurance personnel, the returned part(s) are judged to be not in conformity with specifications or defective in material or workmanship, the Company will correct such condition by delivering repaired or new replacement part(s) to the Buyer, free of charge. Any labor cost involved in removal or replacement of such part(s) shall be the responsibility of the Buyer. This remedy is the Buyer's exclusive remedy for breach of warranty.
This warranty does not cover damage caused by shipment, misuse of the unit (including operation beyond unit specification limits), failure to properly service and maintain the unit in accordance with the Company's Manual or Factory Service Bulletins, alteration of the unit, or natural disasters (such as fire, flood, wind and lightning) and shall be void if
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
If field repair or parts replacement is necessary on warranted components, the Company will reimburse distributors for direct labor costs incurred therefor according to the Company's current authorized field service rate, providing that advance approval for said work is granted by Simon Aerials Service Department. In no event shall the Company be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damage (including without limitation loss of profits, loss of revenue, cost of capital, cost of substitute equipment, downtime, claims of third parties and injury to person or property) based upon any claim of breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort, or any other legal theory. This limited warranty allocates the risks of product failure between the Company and the Buyer, and that allocation is recognized by both parties and is reflected in the price of the goods.
This written warranty is understood to be the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties, superceding all prior agreements, oral or written and all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of this warranty. No employee, agent or distributor of the Company or any other person is authorized to state or imply any additional warranties on behalf of the Company, nor to assume for the Company any other liability in connection with any of its products, unless made in writing and signed by an officer of the Company.
