3.4 Features and Devices
3.4-1 Lowered travel position and
elevated travel position
The available MEWP functions depend on these
factors:
▪ MEWP configuration (lowered travel position/
elevated travel position)
▪ Chassis angle
▪ Platform load.
The MEWP is in the lowered travel position when the
platform is below height “A” (refer to Figure 01).
The MEWP is in the elevated travel position when the
platform is at or above height “A” (refer to Figure 01).

SJ3220 < 2.08 m Full height Figure 01 Lowered and elevated travel position

3.4-2 Drive speed
SJ4726 < 2.13 m Full height The drive speed depends on the MEWP configuration
(lowered travel position/elevated travel position).
SJ4732 < 2.44 m Full height When the MEWP is in the elevated travel position, the
speed is slower than the speed in the lowered travel
SJ4740 < 2.74 m Full height position. Refer to Section 7.3.
3.4-3 Tilt switch

This device senses when the MEWP has passed a
predetermined angle in the longitudinal (front-to-back)
or lateral (side-to-side) direction. Refer to Section 7.5.
When the tilt switch is on, and the MEWP is in the
elevated travel position, it disables the drive and lift
functions. An alarm makes a sound, and an amber
light flashes on the lower scissor arm. If the alarm
makes a sound, fully lower the platform. Level the
MEWP before you raise the platform.

procedure. Refer to Section 3.1 for the location of the 1
emergency-lowering switch.
1 Fall-protection anchorage: When required, use

this as a point to attach personal fall protection
equipment (PFPE). Do not attach the PFPE to
any other points on the platform. Do not use
this anchorage to lift, anchor, attach, or hold the
1 platform, or other apparatuses or material.
WARNING
Only use the fall-protection anchorage in the limits

items.
WARNING
If the MEWP is damaged or has been modified
from the initial factory-delivered condition, without
permission from Skyjack, lock and tag the MEWP.
Remove the MEWP for servicing. If you do not
obey, there is a risk of death or serious injury.
Repairs to the MEWP are tasks only for a qualified

the person(s) involved. Protection can include:
▪ Warning cones
▪ Road signs and signaling devices
▪ Applicable personal protective equipment, such

MEWP and other related vehicles
▪ Other applicable control measures.
Obey all the national, state/provincial/territorial, and
local safety rules when you move the MEWP for
transport. Only qualified personnel with authorization
must drive the MEWP on to or remove it from a
transport vehicle.
Be sure the vehicle capacity and load equipment,
hoists, chains, straps, and other related items are
sufficient to withstand the maximum MEWP weight.
Park the transport vehicle on a level surface. Use
wheel chocks or blocks to prevent unintended vehicle
movement during this operation.
6.6-1 Hoist the MEWP
WARNING
Only qualified riggers must operate the machinery
during a lift.
When you hoist the MEWP, you must:

▪ Turn the main power disconnect switch to the

▪ Close and tightly latch the hydraulic and electric Figure 10 Appropriate method to hoist
and battery trays.
▪ Retract the extension platform. Correctly install
the lock-pins.
▪ Attach the platform control console to the

6.6-2 Drive and tie-down the MEWP

Before you drive the MEWP:
▪ The ramp or dock capacity must be able to hold
the maximum MEWP weight.
▪ Use side guards (if available) to prevent a fall
from the ramp.
▪ The incline of the ramp must not exceed the
MEWP gradeability. Refer to Section 7.3.
▪ Do a test of the MEWP brakes to make sure they
operate correctly.
▪ Move the inclined-drive/level-drive switch to the
inclined-drive (low speed/high torque) position.

When you transport the MEWP, it must be attached
to a truck or trailer deck. Use the available

Wheel is the weight that can be experienced on one wheel.

Note: This is more than 25% of the machine weight due to possible weight distribution over the machine and platform.
** LCP: Local Concentrated Pressure is a measure of how hard the MEWP presses on the area in direct contact with the floor/tire.
OFL: Overall Floor Load (Pressure) is a measure of the average load the MEWP imparts on the whole surface directly
underneath the chassis. This has been calculated by dividing the MEWP weight by the overall floor area occupied by the
MEWP (on wheels).
Note: The floor covering (e.g., tile, carpet, etc.) or the structure (e.g., beams) of the operating surface must
be able to withstand more than the values indicated above.
Note: The LCP or OFL that an individual surface can withstand varies from structure to structure and is
generally determined by the engineer or architect for that particular structure.
