Operating the Lift/Swing Controller

  • Lift the lock ring
  • Move the controller in slow, precise movements
  • To avoid bouncing the boom and platform, do not make abrupt movements or a  quick release of the lift/steer controller
  • Bouncing of the platform may cause the operator to be lifted off the platform floor
  • Allow the machine time to respond to initial movements of the controller as the  hydraulic fluid may need time to circulate through the hoses and cylinders
