Driving Lights

Optional headlights and blinking tail lights may be in-

stalled on the machine. The headlights are located on

the top of the front cowling. The tail lights are mounted

on the sides of the rear cowling.

Driving lights help improve visibility while driving the

aerial platform and help others see it too. Driving lights

are not for driving on public roadways.

Platform Work Lights

Optional platform work lights may be located on the top

rail of the platform (refer to Figure 4.14), one on each

side of the upper control panel.

Figure 4.14 – Platform Work Light

Use the platform lights to improve visibility while work-

ing aloft in dimly lit areas. Do not use the platform work

lights to drive on public roadways.

Low Oil Pressure Alarm

The low pressure oil alarm sounds when the engine oil

pressure is near the lower limit for safe engine operation.

If the alarm sounds, lower the platform to the ground

and then turn the engine off. Do not restart the engine

until the condition that caused the low oil pressure has

been corrected.

If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating

value the engine will shut off. The engine can be re-

started with low oil pressure, but it will only run a few

seconds before it shuts off again.

Horn

The horn may be used to warn personnel on the ground.

The horn button is on the right side of the upper control

panel (refer to Figure 4.12). The horn is operational when

the emergency stop button and the start switches are

both on at the lower and the upper controls.

Drive Motion Alarm

An optional drive motion alarm may be provided on the

machine. When the drive/steer control is moved out of

neutral the alarm sounds, in short beeps, to warn per-

sonnel in the work area to stand clear.

Flashing Light

Optional amber flashing lights may be located on the

top rear of the cowling, on either side of the extension

cylinder. The flashing lights warn personnel that the

aerial platform is in the area.

Figure 4.13 – Flashing Lights

The lights flash at about one flash per second when the

engine is running.
