System Function Inspection S YSTEM F UNCTION I NSPECTION Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for the locations of various controls and indicators. ! W A R N I N G ! STAND CLEAR of the work platform while performing the following checks. Before operating the machine, survey the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps and debris. Check in ALL directions, including above the work platform, for obstructions and electrical conductors.
Operation ROTATING THE PLATFORM 1. Select the rotate function button (the button will illuminate to confirm selection). 2. While engaging the Interlock Switch, move the Control Handle forwards or backwards to achieve clockwise or counter clockwise rotation. 3. If the machine is not level the tilt alarm will sound and the machine will not rotate. OPERATING THE TE L E S C O P E 1.

Figure 4: Transporting the Machine Forklift from the side by lifting under the Chassis. B Y TR U C K 1. Maneuver the machine into transport position and chock wheels. 2.
Maintenance M AINTENANCE ! W A R N I N G ! Never perform service while the platform is elevated. HYDRAULIC FLUID The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the chassis door. Figure 5: Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir and Dipstick NOTE: Never add fluid if the platform is elevated. CHECK HYDRAULIC FLUID 1. Make sure that the platform is fully lowered. 2. Open the chassis door. 3. Remove the filler cap from the hydraulic fluid reservoir. 4. Check the fluid level on the dipstick on the filler cap.
Maintenance BATTER Y MAINTENANCE Figure 6: Access to Batteries ! W A R N I N G ! Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame, and smoking material away from batteries. Always wear safety glasses when working near batteries. Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water. Always replace batteries with UpRight batteries or manufacturer approved replacements weighing 26,3 kg (58 lbs.) each.
Inspection and Maintenance Schedule I NSPECTION AND M AINTENANCE S CHEDULE The Complete Inspection consists of periodic visual and operational checks, along with periodic minor adjustments that assure proper performance. Daily inspection will prevent abnormal wear and prolong the life of all systems. The inspection and maintenance schedule should be performed at the specified intervals.
