Jack Controls - 236 Appliance

This is one of the rear control panels used for setting up the jacks and readying the ladder for operation.

Operation of the jacks is effected by means of a central button. The jacks can also be set individually for uneven terrain.

A sequence control monitors the jacks to ensure that the ladder can only operate once the jacks are correctly set.
