Function
q The power ladder is driven hydraulically. While the machine is traveling, the ladder is raised to the stowed
position and fixed. When the operator getting on or off the machine, the ladder is lowered.
q Even if the starting switch is in the OFF position, the operator can operate the ladder by using switch (4)
outside the operator's cab.

Operation q When the ladder RAISE operation is performed,

ladder pump motor (1) is driven. At the same
time, ladder solenoid valve (2) operates and the
pressurized oil flows to the bottom side of ladder
cylinder (6).
q When the ladder LOWER operation is per-
formed, ladder pump motor (1) is driven. At the
same time, ladder solenoid valve (2) operates
and the pressurized oil flows to the head side of
ladder cylinder (6).
<Only when starting switch is in ON position>
When the ladder LOWER operation is performed
and the ladder moves to near the lowest posi-
tion, shock reducing solenoid valve (3) operates
to add a "throttle" to the hydraulic oil return circuit
to the tank. Accordingly, the movement of ladder
cylinder (6) slows down.
q When manual LOWER valves (4) and (5) are
opened, the bottom side and head side of ladder
cylinder (6) are connected to the tank and the
cylinder becomes in free condition. Accordingly
the piston in the cylinder is moved by an external
force.
q To prevent the ladder from moving up or down
while a person is on it, when a load of 294 N {30
kg} or larger is applied to the lowest step of the
ladder, the ladder does not rise.

Specification
Max. flow rate (at full open): 60 l/min

Function
q The passing flow rate is adjusted to control the
maximum extension and retraction speed of the
ladder cylinder piston rod by changing the open
areas of ports (B) and (A) with flow control dials
(1) and (2).
Each control dial needs ten turns to fully open or
close the port from the fully closed or open posi-
tion.
The return flow rate to the tank during the ladder
raising operation is controlled by adjusting flow
control dial (1).
The return flow rate to the tank during the ladder
lowering operation is controlled by adjusting flow
control dial (2).
When changing the flow rate by adjusting flow
control dial (1) or (2), loosen dial lock screw (3).
After finishing the adjustment, be sure to lock the
dial with dial lock screw (3).
