Condor T62 1997 Operators Manual – What You Get

I’ve seen guys skip the daily inspection on a boom lift and end up with a platform stuck 50 feet up. That’s not a good day. The Condor T62 1997 Operators Manual is the document that keeps you from being that guy. It’s 325 pages of factory procedures, not some third-party rewrite that leaves out the critical details. This manual was printed September 1997 by TIME Condor Corporation in Waco, Texas, and it applies to the T62-01 model starting with serial number P25097011. That serial number specificity is what you need when you’re standing in front of the machine at 6 a.m.

Preparation, Inspection, and Maintenance: Page 3 Checklist

Starting on page 3, the manual lays out the pre-operation inspection in the order it should be done. Overall machine condition, lower control station, platform, hydraulic system, multi-axis slope sensor, battery. Each subsection tells you what to look for. The hydraulic system check alone can catch a leak before it becomes a full system failure. Get in the habit of running through that list every shift – it’s written for the operator, not a service bay.

Machine Operation: Upper and Lower Controls

Upper controls and lower controls each get their own sections with rated work load limits and travel instructions. Page 5 covers the upper control functions, page 7 the lower controls. You can see exactly which lever does what, and the travel section on page 8 covers moving the platform with the drive system. This is not a generic lift truck – the T62 is a boom-supported elevating work platform, and the control logic is specific.

Does the Manual Cover the Multi-Axis Slope Sensor?

Yes. Section E of the inspection chapter specifically addresses the multi-axis slope sensor on page 4. That sensor is what prevents you from tipping when working on uneven ground. The manual gives you the check procedure, not just a warning light explanation. If that sensor is out of calibration, the machine will lock you out. This manual tells you what to verify before you call a tech.

3 Reasons to Stick with OEM Documentation

1. Serial number matching – This manual applies only to Condor T62-01 beginning with P25097011. Aftermarket reprints ignore serial number splits and can show the wrong decal locations or control layouts. 2. Decal illustration appendix on page 10 – The manual includes a full decal diagram. That matters when you’re replacing a faded label and need the exact part number and placement. 3. ANSI/SIA 92.5-1992 manual of responsibilities included – The back of the book contains the actual ANSI compliance document that OSHA expects you to have on the machine. That alone can save you a citation.

Emergency Stopping and Job Site Moving

For emergency stopping, page 8 covers the procedure. That section also includes towing and transporting specifications. If you ever have to emergency-lower the platform, the auxiliary lowering procedure is on page 8 as well. The manual doesn’t assume you’ll never need it – it assumes you will. That’s the difference between a factory manual and a summary.

If you need operator guides for other models, check the TIME Condor V14/1833-XL 1998 Operators Manual – Factory Specs and the TIME CONDOR V2033XL V2033 1999 Operators Manual. Another common model is the Condor T40, T46J 1998 Operators Manual – Factory Specs & Safety. For parts ordering, use the Condor factory parts lookup to match serial numbers.

The travel drive on this model uses a Manual Transmission – not a hydraulic motor. If you’re not familiar with manual transmissions, check out the Manual Transmission resource for fundamentals.

What serial numbers does this manual cover?

Covers Condor T62-01 beginning with serial number P25097011.

Does this manual include torque specs for repairs?

No. This is an operator’s manual focused on daily inspection, safe operation, emergency procedures, and decal identification. For repair torque values and overhaul procedures, you need the factory service manual. The operator’s manual does reference hydraulic system checks but not fastener torque.

Is this manual still relevant for older T62 machines?

Only if the serial number falls within the range specified on page 1. Units before P25097011 may have different configurations.

How many pages is the manual?

325 pages.
