SECTION 3 - MACHINE CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
13. Steer Select (If Equipped)
When equipped with four wheel steering, the action of
the steering system is operator selectable. The center
switch position gives conventional front wheel steering
with the rear wheels unaffected. This is the best position
for normal driving at maximum speeds. The forward
position is for “crab” steering. When in this mode both
front and rear axles steer in the same direction, which
allows the chassis to move sideways as it goes forward.
This can be used for positioning the machine in aisle
ways or against buildings. The back switch position is
for “coordinated” steering. In this mode the front and
rear axles steer in the opposite directions to produce the
tightest turning circle for maneuvering in confined areas.
A decal located at top of switch, instructs the desired
wheel maneuver with the switch position.
To re-synchronize the front and rear axles, activate the
steer switch (thumb rocker) until all steer cylinders are at
the end of their stroke. This can be done in either crab or
coordinated mode.
14. Auxiliary Power
When pushed forward, the switch energizes the starter
motor to start the engine.
When pushed back, it energizes the electrically operated hydraulic pump, when actuated. (Switch must be
held ON for duration of auxiliary pump use.)

to operate the basic machine functions should the main
pump or engine fail. The auxiliary pump will operate
tower boom lift, tower telescope, main boom lift, main
telescope and swing.
15. Tow er L i f t
The three position center-off toggle switch provides for
raising and lowering of the tower boom when positioned
to “UP” or “DOWN”. TOWER LIFT must be fully elevated
“UP” before operating TOWER TELESCOPE. (TOWER
LIFT should not function when TOWER TELESCOPE is
extended).

4.1DESCRIPTION
This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift equipped with a
work platform on the end of an elevating and rotating boom.
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 operator can raise or lower the upper or lower 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 Station. 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. The Ground Control is also to be used in
Pre-Start Inspection.
