Skyjack SJ Series Aerial Work Platform Quick Start Guide

General Safety and Operational Overview

The document illustrates key operational aspects and safety considerations for Skyjack AWPs. It includes general warnings [warning] ⚠️, references to operational instructions [instructions] ?, and depictions of operators using control devices.

An operator is shown wearing a [safety harness] secured by a lifeline, emphasizing personal safety during operation.

Environmental and operational hazards are highlighted with symbols:

• [wind] conditions (represented by swirling lines ?).
• [rain] and [storm] conditions (represented by clouds and raindrops ?️).
• [lightning] hazard (represented by a lightning bolt ⚡).
• A general [warning] symbol ⚠️ indicating caution, often near overhead structures or during adverse weather, with a reference to [instructions] ?.

An indication of "8h" suggests an operational duration or battery life.

Control Panel and Joystick Operation

The document details the operation of the control panels, both at the base and in the platform basket.

Ground Control Panel

The ground control panel features joysticks, various buttons, indicator lights, and a prominent red [emergency stop button] ?.

Joystick Functions

Illustrations demonstrate the use of joysticks for controlling the AWP's movements:

• Step 1: Identification of the control panel and joystick.
• Step 2: Joystick movement (e.g., up/down) is associated with activating functions or power [power].
• Step 3: Joystick controls for driving the platform horizontally ([left/right movement] ↔️) and articulating the boom vertically ([up/down movement] ↕️).
• Step 4: Depictions of placing a protective cover over the joystick.

Platform Control Operation

An operator in the platform basket is shown using the controls. Arrows indicate the following movements:

• Boom extension and retraction ([articulation] ↗️↘️).
• Vertical lift ([up/down movement] ↕️).
• Base rotation ([rotation] ?).
• Horizontal movement of the platform ([left/right movement] ↔️).

Safety Checks and Electrical Precautions

Specific safety checks and electrical hazard warnings are illustrated:

• Emergency Stop: The red [emergency stop button] ? is clearly shown.
• Electrical Safety: Symbols indicate [no electrical hazard] (lightning bolt with a slash ⚡?) and [electrical safety] (lightning bolt with a checkmark ⚡✅).
• Connections: Close-up views show connection points, some branded "SGIE".
• Wireless Communication: An icon suggests wireless signal transmission [wireless signal] ? from the operator's control device.

Component Assembly/Connection

One section illustrates a sequence involving components and safety symbols:

• A [no electrical hazard] symbol (lightning bolt with a slash ⚡?).
• An equals sign (`=`).
• Component 1: A red button-like part.
• A plus sign (`+`).
• Component 2: Another red button-like part.
• A plus sign (`+`).
• Component 3: A bracket or clip ?.

An illustration of the AWP with an operator and a clock [time] ⏰ symbol may relate to operational duration or a reminder.
