2. SAFETY DEVICES
2 - 2 P/N 569300
Y Level Sensor
The level sensor alarm warns the SR operator
that the SR is not level. If the tilt continues to
increase, the SR will eventually tip over. When
you hear this alarm, immediately lower the
platform completely down. When the platform is
completely down, determine and correct the
cause of the tilt before raising the platform again.
NOTE: While the alarm is sounding it is not
possible to drive the SR nor raise the
platform.
Y Lowering
The lowering alarm warns people near an SR
that the platform is coming down and the scissor
arm assembly is closing.
Y High Temperature
The high-temperature alarm warns you that the
engine is overheating. When the alarm sounds
you should immediately lower the platform
completely down then turn the engine off until the
condition that caused the overheating has been
corrected. (See “AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFFS &
CIRCUIT BREAKERS” chapter for more
information.)
Y Low Oil Pressure
The low pressure alarm warns you that the
engine oil pressure is near the lower limit for safe
operation of the engine. When the alarm sounds
you should immediately lower the platform
completely down then turn the engine off until the
condition that caused the low oil pressure has
been corrected. (See “AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFFS
& CIRCUIT BREAKERS” chapter for more
information.)
Y DRIVE (reverse)
The DRIVE (reverse) alarm alerts people that the
SR is traveling backward along the ground. This
alarm beeps twice as fast as the DRIVE
(forward) alarm.
Y DRIVE (forward)
