OPERATIONAL TEST

3-5

a. Start engine:

(1) Start engine at base control (see para 2-12).

(2) Start engine at platform control (see para 2-11).

b. After warm-up, operate the SPEMS through the full range of its normal cycle:

(1) Drive forward and backward (see para 2-11).

(2) Lift and lower platform (see para 2-11).

(3) Extend and retract stabilizers (see para 2-11).

(4) Move platform forward and backward (see para 2-11).

(5) Lift platform and drive forward and backward.

c. Turn the engine OFF when the platform is lifted and platform is moved forward. Use the emergency

platform lowering system to lower the platform (see para 2-17).

d. During the operational test cycle, observe the SPEMS carefully. Notify your supervisor if the SPEMS

operates in any way you feel is incorrect. For example, if you can drive the SPEMS at top speed while

the deck is raised, something is wrong.
