Introduction
Introducti on
Lift Guard™ Sensor for Booms
The Lift Guard Sensor system is designed to alert
the operator and occupants before the platform
makes contact with an object from behind or above.
The operator will be warned by light and joystick
vibration when in close proximity to the object and
boom movement will be interrupted before contact.
The system is designed to be unobtrusive, with
sensors mounted at the rear of the platform hand
rail. When the platform moves near an object that
is sensed the platform controls will indicate with a
warning light and vibration feedback.Some
machine functions will operate at reduced speed. If
the platform continues toward the object, the
frequency of the light will increase until the boom
movement is halted by the system. The operator
has the option to acknowledge by pushing a button
on the platform control box and continue moving
toward the object at a reduced speed.

Failure to obey the instructions and
safety rules in this manual and in the
operator's manual for this machine
will result in death or serious injury.
