INTRODUCTION ‘The elecuic powered Boxer Mk3 (E) Access Platform is developed from the Boxer 2 and 3-Suage self-propeliod models and is manufactured in the U.K. by SIMON AERIALS LTD, of ‘Thetford, Norfolk. ‘The Boxer is available in five models, each with a diferent working height ability, and identified fs the Boxer 120, 130, 140, 150 and 170. Narrow aisle versions are also available, and these ‘models are identified by the leter 'N, which follows the height identification, The Boxer Access Ptatform can be powered by batiery (E), Diese (D), or gas (G). ‘The work platforms have sideways folding boom configurations that allow easy access through standard industial doorways and can operas in narrow aisles and confined spaces with no knuckle ‘or tailswing to restrict manoeuvrability. The unique up-and-over feaure enables Boxer platforms to reach work positions that are fequenly out of range of larger and more expensive machines. ‘All Boxer work platforms are engineered to high standards using the best quality materials and are tesied and stable 10 twice working Toad in all positions, ‘The operator can control the machine from ground or cage positions and the machine can be ‘riven accurately and safely from the cage, even when the booms are fully elevaed. Double-seting cylinder lock-valves prevent descent of booms in the event of hydraulic hose failure and all emergency lowering valves are situated at ground Jevel. Manual rotation is available in the ‘event of an emergency with power loss. ‘The Boxer chassis is of welded steel and the booms are manufactured from square/rectangular hollow stce! sections for optimum strength, lightness and durability. Hoses are abrasion resistant ‘and are protected within the booms (Borer 120, 130, 140 and 150), or by special covers (Boxer 170). ‘The clectic powered Boxer (E) is powered by eight 6 volt Heavy Duty bateries. An advanced ‘bauery charger is incorporated in the electrical cireuit, and baueries can be charged from either a 240 volis A.C. $0 Hz, or 110 volts A.C. 50 Hz supply. Optional tauery packs are available, ‘The transmission system allows outstanding range and performance. The powerful motor and high ‘ground clearance allow the Boxer to climb 1 in 4 slopes, ‘This manual refers to the Boxer 120, 130, 140, 150 and 170 Mk3 Electric models. ‘THE MANUFACTURER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE SPECIFICATIONS. ‘AND DESIGN WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
