personnel, along with their tools and materials, to
an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous.

Only trained and authorized personnel should be
permitted to operate a machine. If more than one
operator is expected to use a machine at different
times in the same work shift, they must all be

qualied operators and are all expected to follow

all safety rules and instructions in the operator's,
safety and responsibilities manuals. That means
every new operator should perform a pre-operation
inspection, function tests, and a workplace
inspection before using the machine.

tape measure

Operator's Manual Fifth Edition • Third Printing

Operating Instructions

Lay the piece of wood on the slope.

At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge
of the piece of wood and lift the end until the piece
of wood is level.

While holding the piece of wood level, measure
the distance from the bottom of the piece of wood
to the ground.

Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the
length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by

100.

Example:

run

rise

Piece of wood = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Run = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m)

12 in ÷ 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade

Diesel Fuel Requirements

Satisfactory engine performance is dependent
on the use of a good quality fuel. The use of a
good quality fuel will give the following result: long
engine life and acceptable exhaust emissions
levels.

Minimum diesel fuel requirements for each engine
are listed below.

1 Check the engine oil dipstick. Add oil as needed.

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 that the boom is in the stowed position,

then visually inspect the sight gauge located
on the side of the hydraulic oil tank. Add oil as
needed.

Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within

the top 2 inches / 5 cm of the sight gauge.

Maintenance

Check the Batteries

Proper battery condition is essential to good
engine performance and operational safety.

Improper uid levels or damaged cables and

connections can result in engine component
damage and hazardous conditions.

Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live

circuits may 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.

Note: The controls battery is below the start
battery.

1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.

2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are

tight and free of corrosion.

3 Be sure that the battery hold-down bar is

secure.

4 Remove the battery vent caps.

5 Check the battery acid level. If needed,

replenish with distilled water to the bottom of

the battery ll tube. Do not overll.

6 Install the vent caps.

Check the Engine Coolant Level

- Liquid Cooled Models

Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level
is essential to engine service life. Improper coolant
level will affect the engine's cooling capability and
damage engine components. Daily checks will
allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant
level that might indicate cooling system problems.

Burn hazard. Beware of hot engine parts and

coolant. Contact with hot engine parts and/or
coolant may cause severe burns.

1 Check the uid level in the coolant recovery

tank. Add uid as needed.

Result: The uid level should be at the

full mark.

Note: Do not remove the radiator cap.

Scheduled Maintenance

Maintenance performed quarterly, annually and
every two years must be completed by a person

trained and qualied 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.

Note: Adding terminal protectors and a corrosion
preventative sealant will help eliminate corrosion
on the battery terminals and cables.
