Continued useof an improperly operating platform overloadsystem could result in the system not sensing anoverloaded platform condition. Machine stabilitycould be compromised resulting in the machinetipping over.Note: Perform this procedure with the boom fullyretracted and in the stowed position and with themachine on a firm, level surface.1 Remove all weight, tools, accessories andequipment from the platform.Note: Failure to remove all weight, tools andaccessories from the platform will result in aninaccurate test.2 Turn the key switch to ground control and pullout the red Emergency Stop button to the onposition at both the ground and platformcontrols.
