Tip-over Hazards

Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on
a firm, level surface.

Do not move the machine while the platform is
raised.

Do not cause a horizontal force or side load to the
machine by raising or lowering a fixed or
overhanging load.

Do not place or attach overhanging loads to any
part of this machine.

You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.

1 Avoid hazardous situations.

2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
Know and understand the pre-operation

inspection before going on to the next
section.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Operator’s ManualSecond Edition • Fourth Printing

Fundamentals

It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a
Pre-operation Inspection and routine maintenance.

The Pre-operation Inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything
is apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator performs the function tests.

The Pre-operation inspection also serves to
determine if routine maintenance procedures are
required. Only routine maintenance items
specified in this manual may be performed by the
operator.

Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items and locations for modifications,
damage or loose or missing parts.

A damaged or modified machine must never be
used. If damage or any variation from factory
delivered condition is discovered, the machine
must be tagged and removed from service.

Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a
pre-operation inspection again before going on to
the function tests.

Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
performed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer's specifications and
the requirements listed in the responsibilities
manual.

Maintenance

Check the Battery - DC Models

Proper battery condition is essential to good
machine performance and operational safety.
Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and
connections can result in engine component
damage and hazardous conditions.

Electrocution hazard. Contact with
hot or live circuits could result in
death or serious injury. Remove
all rings, watches and other
jewelry.

Bodily injury hazard. Batteries
contain acid. Avoid spilling or
contacting battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking
soda and water.

Maintenance Symbols Legend

The following symbols have been
used in this manual to help
communicate the intent of the
instructions. When one or more of
the symbols appear at the
beginning of a maintenance
procedure, it conveys the meaning
below.

Indicates that tools will be required to
perform this procedure.

Indicates that new parts will be
required to perform this procedure.

Perform this test after fully

charging the batteries.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Remove the battery vent caps.
3 Check the battery acid level. If needed,

replenish with distilled water to the bottom of
the battery fill tube. Do not overfill.

4 Install the vent caps.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

Check the Hydraulic Oil Level

Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in
oil level that might indicate the presence of
hydraulic system problems.

1 Be sure the platform is fully lowered.
2 Check the sight gauge on the side of the

hydraulic tank.

Result: The hydraulic oil level should be visible

in the middle of the sight gauge. Do not overfill.

Hydraulic oil specifications

Hydraulic oil type Dexron equivalent

Scheduled Maintenance

Maintenance performed quarterly, annually and
every two years must be completed by a person
trained and qualified to perform maintenance on this
machine according to the procedures found in the
service manual for this machine.

Machines that have been out of service for more
than three months must receive the quarterly
inspection before they are put back into service.

Function Tests

Fundamentals

The Function Tests are designed to discover any
malfunctions before the machine is put into
service. The operator must follow the step-by-step
instructions to test all machine functions.

A malfunctioning machine must never be used. If
malfunctions are discovered, the machine must be
tagged and removed from service. Repairs to the
machine may only be made by a qualified service
technician, according to the manufacturer's
specifications.

After repairs are completed, the operator must
perform a pre-operation inspection and function
tests again before putting the machine into service.

Know and understand the function tests
before going on to the next section.

4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Workplace Inspection

Be aware of and avoid the following hazardous
situations:

· Drop-offs or holes

· Bumps and floor obstructions

· Debris

Do Not Operate Unless:

You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator's

manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

4 Inspect the workplace.

Know and understand the workplace

inspection before going on to the next

section.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Fundamentals

The Workplace Inspection helps the operator
determine if the workplace is suitable for safe
machine operation. It should be performed by the
operator prior to moving the machine to the
workplace.

· Overhead obstructions and high voltage
conductors

· Hazardous locations

· Inadequate surface support to withstand all
load forces imposed by the machine

· Wind and weather conditions

· All other possible unsafe conditions

It is the operator's responsibility to read and
remember the workplace hazards, then watch for
and avoid them while moving, setting up and
operating the machine.

Operating Instructions

Setup

1 Pump the foot pedal to

raise the base until the
wheels contact the
ground.

Do Not Operate Unless:

You learn and practice the principles of safe

machine operation contained in this operator's

manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the work place.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.

Fundamentals

Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel and tools to an aerial work site is
unsafe.

If more than one operator is expected to use a
machine at different times in the same work shift,
each operator is expected to follow all safety rules
and instructions in the operator's manual. That
means every new operator should perform a pre­operation inspection, function tests and a work
place inspection before using the machine.

2 Use the steering handle

to push the machine.

3 Position the machine on a firm, level surface

directly below the work area.

4 Pull the base lowering

handle to lower the base
until all four foot pads are
in firm contact with the
ground.

5 Connect to an appropriate power source:

DC models: Connect battery pack.
AC models: Connect to a grounded
15A AC power supply. Use a 12 gauge / 3.3mm
3-wire grounded extension cord no longer than
50 feet / 13 m.

6 Insert the key and turn to the ON position OR to

platform control.

7 Pull out the red Emergency Stop button at the

ground controls and be sure the power light is
on.

8 Check the interlock display. Be sure that all four

display lights are on.
