3-1 OPERATOR CONTROLS
Most of the operator controls for the SkyRider 15 are located on the upper and lower
control boxes. Other operator controls include the
BATTERY ON/OFF switch and the emer-
gency lowering valve.
The BATTERY ON/OFF switch, located on the left side of the lift
base, is the main power disconnect switch for the lift vehicle. The location and operation
of the emergency lowering valve is described in paragraph 3-3.
Lower Control Box
The lower control box, Figure 3-1, is located on the lift base and contains three controls:
UP/DOWN, EMERGENCY STOP, and UPPER CONTROL/OFF/LOWER CONTROL. The lower con-
trol box enables lift operations from floor level.
The
UPPER CONTROL/OFF/LOWER CONTROL key switch selects the active (upper or lower)
control location. To enable an
UP or DOWN lift motion from the floor, turn and hold the
key switch in the
LOWER CONTROL position. To enable lift vehicle travel or platform ele-
vation from the upper control box, turn the key switch to the
UPPER CONTROL position.
To disable lift vehicle operations, turn the key switch to the
OFF position and remove the
key.
Turn the
UP/DOWN selector switch to the UP position to raise the lift platform or to the
DOWN position to lower the platform. (The key switch must be held in the LOWER
CONTROL
position to enable the UP/DOWN selector switch).
Press the
EMERGENCY STOP button to stop all equipment motion. If the lift vehicle is
moving forward or back, pressing the
EMERGENCY STOP button engages the travel brake
causing travel to stop quickly. To resume lift vehicle operation, turn the
EMERGENCY
STOP
button clockwise.
