D. TRAVELDriving the machine may only be accomplishedfrom the upper control station,with the boom in raised or lowered(stowed) position. Even thought thegradeability of the unit is 14° (25%),such a grade should only be negotiatedwith the boom in the fully lowered(stowed) position and in SLOW drivespeed. The CONDOR® is designed totravel with the platform elevated onlywhen on firm, level ground.The CONDOR® is designed to be drivenwith the counterweight positioned overthe drive wheels. In this configuration,the direction of travel corresponds directlyto the direction of movement of the drivecontroller. Moving the controller awayfrom the operator drives the unit forward;moving the controller toward the operatormoves the unit in reverse.The steering control is a spring-loadedreturn-to-center rocker switch located ontop of the drive controller handle. Withthe counterweight over the drive wheels,the steering direction corresponds directlyto the direction in which the rockerswitch is activated. Pushing the rockerswitch to the left turns the unit to theleft, and pushing the rocker switch to theright moves the unit to the right. Whenthe rocker switch is released and returnsto center, the sterring wheels remain inthe last directed line of travel and do notreturn to a straight line of travel; steeringis not self-centering.When the machine is driven with thecounterweight in a position other than asdescribed above, the relationship of thedrive and steer functions to the movementof the controller will change. Theoperator should move the unit slowly untilfamiliar with this change in movement.Always look in the direction of travel andmaintain a clear field of view, payingparticular attention to overhead obstructions.Avoid erratic movement of the controllerby moving smoothly into and out oftravel. Come to a complete stop beforechanging directions.The brakes on the unit are spring-appliedand hydraulically released. The brakesare automatically released when the drivecontroller is returned to the neutral position.The upper control console is equippedwith a maintained two-position toggleswitch to select either FAST or SLOWtravel speed. However, when the boomor arms are raised sufficiently to open theboom limit switch (approximately horizontal),both drive speeds are automaticallyreduced by one half.III. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENTThe following options are available on theCONDOR® Models 38A and 47A:• 110-Volt Line to Platform• Foam-Filled Tires• Motion/Travel Warning Horn• Low Voltage Warning (electric models)• Strobe Light/Rotating Beacon• Larger Platform• Air Line to Platform• Platform Work Lights• Diesel Engine• Dual Fuel (liquid, vapor)IV. AUXILIARY LOWERINGProvisions are made to return the operatorto the ground in the event of primarypower loss.The boom and arm lift cylinders on electricunits are equipped with (manual)gravity lowering cartridges on the holdingvalves. To lower the boom or arm manually,depress the red button and turncounter-clockwise. The lowering processmay be halted at any time by depressingthe red button and turning clockwise.7MANUAL 92265-001SEPTEMBER 1994
