Pre-Operation Safety Inspection P RE -O PERATION S AFETY I NSPECTION VISUAL INSPECTION NOTE: Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, labels, and operating instructions; then perform the following steps each day before use. Perform a complete visual inspection of the entire unit prior to operating. Check the following areas for discrepancies: 1. Open the covers and check hydraulic components and hoses for damage or leaks. 2.
Pre-Operation Safety Inspection SYSTEM FUNCTION INSPECTION 1. Move the machine to a firm level surface with room to fully elevate and extend the platform. 2. Before performing the following tests, check the area around the machine and overhead for obstructions, holes, drop-offs, and debris. 3. Ensure that the locking pins are retracted (refer to Figure 4 on page 5). C A U T I O N Attempting to rotate the turret with locking pins engaged may cause damage to the machine. 4.
Operation O PERATION Before operating the work platform ensure that: • Pre-operation and safety inspection has been completed, and any discrepancies have been corrected. • The operator has been thoroughly trained on the operation of the machine. • The work area is clear of all obstructions, holes, drop-offs, or persons in the route of travel. • The surface is capable of supporting wheel loads.
Operation DRIVING WITH BOOM LOWERED 1. Turn the chassis key switch to PLATFORM, and turn on (turn clockwise) the chassis Emergency Stop switch. 2. Mount the platform, close and latch the gate. 3. Attach an approved fall restraint to the designated platform anchorage point. Attach only one fall restraint to each point. 4. Start the engine. 5.
Operation STEERING 1. Depress the foot switch. 2. Push the steering rocker switch to the left to turn left. 3. Push the steering rocker switch to the right to turn right. NOTE: Steering is not self-centering. Wheels must be returned to the straight ahead position by operating the steering switch. NOTE: When the boom is rotated to the front of the chassis (steering wheels aft), directions of travel and steering will be reversed.
Operation UPPER CONTROL OPERATION 1. Turn the chassis key switch to the left (Platform). 2. Turn ON the platform ignition switch. LEVELING THE PLATFORM ! W A R N I N G ! DO NOT operate the machine if the platform does not maintain level when elevated. NOTE: Platform leveling should be done only to calibrate the automatic leveling system. 1. Set the Function Speed control dial to the desired setting. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase speed, counterclockwise to decrease.
Operation EXTENDING THE UPPER BOOM 1. Set the Function Speed control dial to the desired setting. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase speed, counterclockwise to decrease. If you are not sure what speed to use, start out slow; the speed can be varied while operating the function. 2. While depressing the foot switch, push the Boom Extend control lever rearward to extend the boom, forward to retract the boom. Release the control lever to stop extending/retracting. ELEVATING THE JIB 1.
Emergency Operation E MERGENCY O PERATION In the event of a powered function failure, the elevating assembly may be lowered by using the Auxiliary Power Unit. Hold in the Auxiliary Power button and operate the Lowering Controls as normal. ! W A R N I N G ! NEVER climb down the elevating assembly. If controls do not respond, ask someone on the ground to lower the boom manually. A FTER U SE E ACH D AY 1. Ensure that the platform is fully lowered. 2.
Transportation TRANSPORTATION BY CRANE 1. Ensure that the boom is fully lowered and retracted. 2. Ensure that the locking pins are engaged (refer to Figure 4 on page 5). 3. Attach straps to the Chassis Lifting lugs only. Ensure that the straps are adjusted properly to keep the unit level when lifting. B Y TR U C K O R TR A I L E R 1. Ensure that the boom is fully lowered and retracted. 2. Ensure that the locking pins are engaged (refer to Figure 4 on page 5). DRIVE ONTO TRANSPORT VEHICLE 1.
Daily Maintenance D AILY M AINTENANCE FUELING Stop the engine and turn off the key switch before re-fueling. Figure 9: Fuel Tank GASOLINE 1. Open the left turret cover, then open the fill cap. 2. Fill to capacity with unleaded gasoline only. Fuel Cap • Fuel tank full capacity is 159 liters (42 US gallons). 3. Install the cap. DIESEL 1. Open the left turret cover, then open the fill cap. 2. Fill to capacity with diesel motor fuel only, grade #1-D or #2-D.
Daily Maintenance BATTER Y MAINTENANCE ! W A R N I N G ! Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame, and smoking material away from battery. Always wear safety glasses when working with 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 >28 kg (62 lbs.) each. Check battery fluid level daily. If the electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8 in.
Inspection and Maintenance schedule I NSPECTION AND M AINTENANCE SCHEDULE The complete inspection consists of visual and operational checks, together with all necessary minor adjustments to assure proper performance. Daily inspection will prevent abnormal wear and prolong the life of all systems. A thorough inspection and maintenance shall be performed by personnel who are trained and familiar with mechanical and electrical procedures at regular intervals.
