INTRODUCTION This Safety Manual (PIN 92260) is printed to assist the operator to better understand and operate the Industrial Self-Propelled CONDOR Aerial Work Platforms, Models 36M, 46N and 601, in a safe and proficient manner. For the operator's safety and protection, this manual MUST BE RETAINED on the CONDOR industrial work platform at ALL TIMES.

1. DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRIAL CONDOR The CONDOR is a telescopic aerial work platform and is rugged, maneuverable, and safe. It is designed for work on firm level surfaces, with normal operation controlled by an operator using a control box in the platform.

All operational modes can be accomplished from the platform, including drive and steer. The CONDOR provides industrial, construction, and maintenance workers the ability to safely elevate and perform installation maintenance and replacement tasks.

The CONDOR Models 36N and 46N are powered by a Wisconsin Model VH4D aircooled gasoline engine rated, at 30 horsepower, at 2,150 R.P.M. As an option, a Deutz diesel engine Model F2L511 is utilized having a nominal horsepower rating of 23.

The CONDOR Model 60N is utilized by a Wisconsin Model VG4D air-cooled gasoline engine rated, at 37 horsepower, at 2,400 R.P.M. Optional Oeutz diesel engine Model F2L912, 27.5 horsepower at 2,300 R.P.M. 2.

OPERATOR'S QUALIFICATION Each INDUSTRIAL CONDOR UNIT has undergone a thorough Quality Control inspection at CALAVAR. The design incorporates built-in safety features.

A person of average skill can readily become proficient and safe in the operation of the CONDOR. It is a personnel lifting device and can be potentially DANGEROUS in the hands of UNTRAINED or CARELESS OPERATORS. Knowing the characteristics of the machine and function of the controls is important to SAFE, PROPER OPERATION AND USE. Becoming familiar with the controls and practices will result in smooth, accurate positioning.

It is the responsibility of all users to READ and COMPLY with the following RULES and information designed to promote SAFETY and UNDERSTANDING of the CONDOR. •

A thorough understanding of the operating characteristics and limitations of the CONDOR is always the first requirement for any user, regardless of his prior experience with similar types of equipment.

•

Only QUALIFIED/TRAINED and AUTHORIZED personnel must be ALLOWED to operate the CONDOR. A QUALIFIED/TRAINED operator is one who has READ and UNDERSTOOD the instructions in this manual, and is thoroughly familiar with the operating characteristics and limitations of the unit.

LOADING TRANSPORTING AND UNLOADING 1

1.

LOADING AND UNLOADING The INDUSTRIAL CONDOR UNIT, although somewhat small in stature compared to larger type construction equipment, still requires the same care and attention in LOADING, TRANSPORTING, and UNLOADING, as does the larger, heavier type equipment. At no time should sight of this be OVERLOOKED. Before loading/unloading the CONDOR, inspect for any physical damage or defects. DO NOT OPERATE A DEFECTIVE OR MALFUNCTIONING UNIT.

ICAUTION

I

The CONDOR Model 36N and 46N weighs approximately 17,500 lbs., and Model 60N approximately 26,500 lbs. Whatever means is used to load/unload the unit, it should be of sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the CONDOR. DO NOT attempt to OPERATE the unit UNTIL you have READ and thoroughly UNDERSTAND all INFORMATION provided on the operation of the INDUSTRIAL CONDOR UNIT. FAMILIARIZE yourself with the CONTROLS, their FUNCTION and OPERATION.

IWARNING I

REMOVE TURRET LOCK-PIN BEFORE ROTATING TURRET, IF SO EQUIPPED 2.

RAMP METHOD

A. Ensure that ramp being used is sufficiently strong to handle the weight of the unit.

B. Ramp should be set at an angle no steeper than 14° or 25%, 30 inches rise in 10 feet.

C. The normal driving position of the CONDOR is with the turret counterweight over the drive wheels. The controller movement is based on this configuration. When the counterweight is positioned over the steering wheels, the drive and steering controls will be reversed.

Try each control momentarily to orient yourself with the direction of operation.

D. Before driving the unit on the ramp, test all the controls and the brake system. Make sure that the operating levers return smoothly to the neutral, center position. Then move the CONDOR slowly back and forth and ensure the brakes automatically apply each time the drive control lever goes back to the neutral position.

E. Move the unit on the truck or trailer, up or down the ramp approximately a foot at a time, allowing the steering corrections to be made. Keep unit in alignment with the carrier and ramp during loading or unloading procedure.

F.

It may be necessary to elevate the boom or lift arms slightly to clear the ground or ramp as you load or unload. The unit is equipped with a slope sensor which senses 5° out of level condition. When unit encounters a slope of 5° or more and is in low speed, a warning horn will sound.

TRANSPORTING

The CONDOR can be easily and safely transported from job site to job site if a few simple rules and procedures are followed: A.

Block all wheels to prevent forward and reverse motion.

B. Tie down the CONDOR with chains or cables, running them through the tie-down brackets.

C. Place wooden pallets under platform, then tie down platform as indicated.
