|
|
this apparatus is designed to work in "out of level" conditions up to _________ degrees side to side and ____________ degrees front to rear |
5 degrees side to side 20 degrees front to rear |
|
|
what is designed to be the ground point for the apparatus. |
the rear jacks |
|
|
can you use jack pads on the rear jacks and why or why not? |
no the rear jacks are designed to be the grounding point for the apparatus, therefore, if jack pads are ever used, they should be metal type only |
|
|
what are the specifics regarding outrigger safety pin placement |
when preparing to insert the outriger safety pins, if the safety pin hole is near 1/2" or less to the safety bar, go to the next higher hole. this will avoid having the pin pinched by cylinder creep that will later not allow you to remove the pin when taking down the truck. |
|
|
what are the specifics regarding raising the boom during hose loading operations
interlock override buttons... |
if raising the boom during hose loading operations, the rear jacks must be set to provide stability and the interlock override buttons on top of the pedastal must be used. when the ladder is lowered back into the bed the interlock override buttons must be pressed again, to completely bed the ladder -Raise to 30 degrees -rear jacks needed only. |
|

how do you silence the jack warning alarm once the placement of the jacks is complete? |
insert the pins! |
|
|
if operating near power lines, what precautions can the operator take? |
stand on the operator's step at all times during tower operations. |
|

smart boom warning system |
|
|
tell me more about the smart boom warning system |
the controls will go into creep mode and visual and audible alarms will sound. |
|
|
how do you cancel the smart boom warning system alarm, and where is it cancelled? |
the silence alarm button will only cancel the alarm at the operators station once the boom is raised out of the contact zone, the alarms and full operational speed will be reset automatically |
|
|
smart boom warning system what point are the alarms and full operational speed reset? |
once the boom is raised out of the contact zone, the alarms and full operational speed will be reset automatically |
|
|
where should there be an operator any time the aerial is in use? |
at the lower control station |
|

false the lower controls can always override the platform controls if an emergency arise |
|
|
the apparatus is equipped with a ________- gallon water tank |
300 gallon |
|
|
leveling system override details |
the leveling system override is a one needle valve located on the left side of the platform wall. open the valve 1/4 of a turn and the hydraulic cylinder will operate with the weight in the platform, thus keeping the platform level. |
|
|
the breathinig air system should be regulated where and set to what pressure |
should be regulated at the supply cylinder by presetting the regulator at approximately 120 psi |
|
|
what is the proper procedure to place the aerial into operation (1 of 2) |
-spot the apparatus -set brake -place transmission in neutral -ensure engine is at low idle -engage aerial PTO -verify truck is in level operating range (green) -verify fluid transfer valve is in the ground jack position -extend left outrigger to maximum extension -extend right outrigger to max extension |
|
|
what is the proper procedure to place the aerial into operation (2 of 2) |
-place ground pads under each outrigger foot -lower left outrigger until it reaches ground pad -lower right outrigger until it reaches ground pad -level truck from side to side -pull both left and right outrigger down levers simultaneously and raise the front of the truck until the front tires clear the ground -lower rear jacks until tires on front tandem just clear the ground -pull front jack handle to engage front stabilizer -insert safety pins in outriggers DONE! |
