Ignition/Emergency Stop Switch
CHECK MACHINE DAILY TO MAKE SURE IGNITION/EMERGENCY STOP
BUTTON IS IN PLACE AND THAT GROUND CONTROL INSTRUCTIONS
ARE IN PLACE AND LEGIBLE.
Ground Control Station
The Ground Control Station is located on the front right side
of the turntable. The controls on this panel provide the
means for overriding the platform controls and for controlling
the platform level, platform rotate, tower boom lift, tower
boom telescope, main boom lift, main boom telescope,
swing, creep speed and activating auxiliary power from the
ground. Place the station SELECT SWITCH in the GROUND
position and operate the proper controller or control switch.
This switch is a large red button located on the platform console panel and also on the ground control remote box. With
the button pulled out, power is supplied to the start button.
When the red button is depressed it will shut off power and
immediately stop the machine. The corresponding button,
ground or platform, must be pulled out in order for the
machine to operate from the desired control station.
Auxiliary Power
A toggle-type auxiliary power control switch is located on the
platform control station and another is located on the ground
control station. Operation of either switch turns on the electrically driven auxiliary hydraulic pump. Auxiliary power should
be used in case of failure of the main power plant. The auxiliary pump will operate tower lift up and down, main lift up
and down, tower telescope in and out, main telescope in and
out, swing left and right, platform rotate and platform level.

Use of Ground Controls
KNOW HOW TO USE THE GROUND CONTROLS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION.
Ground personnel must be thoroughly familiar with the
machine operating characteristics and the ground control
functions. Training should include operation of the machine,
review and understanding of this section and hands-on operation of the controls in simulated emergencies.
Operator Unable to Control Machine
IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR UNABLE TO
OPERATE OR CONTROL THE MACHINE:
DO NOT OPERATE WITH PRIMARY POWER SOURCE (ENGINE) IF PERSONS ARE PINNED OR TRAPPED. USE AUXILIARY POWER INSTEAD.
1. Operate the machine from ground controls ONLY with
the assistance of other personnel and equipment
(cranes, overhead hoists, etc.) as may be required to
safely remove the danger or emergency condition.
2. Other qualified personnel on the platform may use the
platform controls with regular or auxiliary power. DO
NOT CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS DO NOT
FUNCTION NORMALLY.
3. Prior to removing platform occupants, cranes, forklift
trucks or other equipment which may be available are to
be used to stabilize motion of the machine in case
machine controls are inadequate or malfunction when
used.
Platform or Boom Caught Overhead
If the platform or boom becomes jammed or snagged in
overhead structures or equipment, do not continue operation
of the machine from either the platform or the ground until
the operator and all personnel are safely moved to a secure
location. Only then should an attempt be made to free the
platform using any necessary equipment and personnel. Do
not operate controls to cause one or more wheels to leave
the ground.
Following any accident, thoroughly inspect the machine and
test all functions first from the ground controls, then from the
platform controls. Do not lift above 3 meters until you are
secure that all damage has been repaired, if required, and
that all controls are operating correctly.
