SAFETY SYMBOLS

This manual contains important information on the safe use of your SIMON Self-Propelled Aerial Work Platform. Your failure to read, understand and follow all safety rules, warnings and instructions will unnecessarily expose you and others to dangerous situations. For your safety and the safety of those around you, you must operate your aerial work platform as instructed in this manual.

You, the operator, are the single most important factor for safety when using any piece of equipment. Learn to operate your work platform in a safe manner.

To help you recognize important safety information, we have identified warnings and instructions that directly impact on safety with following signals:

A DANGER

"DANGER" INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. THIS SIGNAL WORD IS LIMITED TO THE MOST EXTREME SITUATIONS.

"WARNING" INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

A CAUTION

"Caution" indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to alert against unsafe practices, and for property-damage-only situations.

One final note: The best method to protect yourself and others from injury or death is to use common sense. If you are unsure of any operation, don't start until you are satisfied that it is safe to proceed.

Page 11

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

• ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!! THIS MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED!! Maintain safe clearance from electrical lines and apparatus. You must allow for machine sway (side to side movement) when elevated, and electrical line movement. This machine does not provide protection from contact with or proximity to an electrically charged conductor.

You must AVOID CONTACT between any part of the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying up to 300 volts.

You must maintain a CLEARANCE OF AT LEAST 10 FEET (3.05 M) between any part of the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying over 300 volts up to 50,000 volts. One foot (30.5 cm) additional clearance is required for every additional 30,000 volts.

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, any electrically charged conductor.

Read and understand all safety and control information found on the machine and in this manual before operating the unit.
Only trained, competent personnel should operate the aerial work platform.
Be aware of all Government and Local rules which may apply to this machine and its safe operation.
Approved safety belts must be worn at all times when operating the unit from the platform. In addition, approved headgear and other protective equipment must be worn as required. (In the U.S.A., OSHA approved equipment is required. For other countries, the appropriate equivalent government body should be consulted.)
NEVER fasten safety belt to an adjacent structure while on the work platform.
Make sure that entry gate to platform is secured before operating unit from the platform.
DO NOT block the foot pedal or any function control in the operating position.
DO NOT exceed the platform capacity of the unit in any configuration. Review the section titled "MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS", earlier in this manual, regarding this model's capacities and dimensions.

SAFETY RULES

Page 12

SAFETY RULES

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)

SECURE all tools and other loose items to prevent injury to persons working on or below the work platform.
DO NOT use scaffolding, ladders or similar items to extend your reach while on the work platform.
DO NOT attempt to climb down the boom assembly, if the unit fails while the operator's platform is raised or extended.
Since the machine may be operated from its ground controls, precautions should be taken to prevent unauthorized personnel from operating the work platform with the ground controls while the platform is in use.
The "UNPOWERED EMERGENCY MOVEMENT" procedure (described later in this manual) requires releasing the brakes and disconnecting the rear wheels, which results in there being no means to stop the unit's travel. Simon recommends using this procedure only in cases of emergency, and only for a short distance. Be on guard against unit runaway on sloping surfaces. Movement speed shall not exceed 3 M.P.H. (5 K.P.H.).
DO NOT attempt to open any hydraulic line or component without first relieving all system pressures and shutting off fluid flow from the tank.
DO NOT allow anyone to tamper with, service or operate the machine from the ground control station while personnel are on the platform, except in an emergency.
DO NOT alter, modify or disable any safety devices or interlocks.
DO NOT use the aerial work platform outdoors in electrical storms or in high wind situations.
DO NOT raise the aerial work platform unless the unit is on a firm, level surface.

Page 13

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)

A DANGER

Use caution to prevent ropes, cords, hoses, etc. from becoming entangled in the unit's boom sections when being raised, lowered or repositioned.
Ensure that the area surrounding the mobile platform is clear of personnel and equipment before: driving the unit; or raising, lowering or extending the boom; or swinging the superstructure; or tilting the platform.
Maintain a safe distance from overhead and ground obstacles, debris, drop-offs, holes, depressions, electrical wires and other hazards to travel.
Limit travel speed according to conditions of the ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel or any other factors that could cause hazard of collision or injury to personnel.
DO NOT sit, stand or climb on platform rails.
DO NOT operate this machine while under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.
DO NOT operate this machine if you are bothered by heights, seizures, or dizzy spells.
DO NOT indulge in stunt driving or horseplay while operating this machine.

Complete the "Operational Checklists" found in this manual (see Table of Contents) at designated intervals.
Always attach the unit to a winch when loading or unloading from a truck or trailer. Simon does not recommend unassisted loading or unloading of any aerial work platform.
With the platform swung away from the stowed position, use caution when selecting travel or steering direction. Travel and steer direction will be opposite switch or lever movement. Refer to the directional arrow decals on the undercarriage of the unit for travel orientation.

Page 14

SAFETY RULES

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)

Actuation of the red "EMERGENCY STOP" button will apply brakes immediately, causing unexpected platform movement as the machine comes to a sudden stop. Brace vourself.
Whenever releasing the brakes, ensure that the unit cannot roll.
Immediately report any erratic noises, vibrations or malfunctions of the unit to supervisor. Machine shall be removed from service until diagnosis and any necessary repairs have been completed.
Operating this equipment without all safety and control decals in place can be hazardous.

A CAUTION

For transporting the machine, the platform or boom must not be tied to the trailer bed in any way.
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform horizontal pull of 100 pounds (45.4 kg).
DO NOT use the boom or platform as a crane to lift oversized or hanging loads.
DO NOT raise, extend, retract, tilt, or lower the platform into stationary objects, as this will cause damage to mechanical and hydraulic components.

OPERATION

THE OPERATOR MUST BE AWARE OF THE GROUND CONDITIONS. DO NOT RAISE THE PLATFORM OR EXTEND THE BOOM IF THE MACHINE IS NOT ON A FIRM LEVEL SURFACE!

DO NOT RELY ON THE TILT ALARM TO WARN YOU OF AN UNSAFE CONDITION.

SAFE OPERATION BEGINS WITH A SAFE OPERATOR.

Perform Start-Up Procedures. Remember to place the ground/ platform control switch in the "PLATFORM CONTROLS" position before going to the platform for operation.

Enter platform, close and secure safety gate, and attach safety belt.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

In below freezing weather, the hydraulic fluid should be allowed to warm before full operation of the unit.
Check for water contamination of the fluid.
Check for and remove ice on the platform, swing gear teeth and steering linkage prior to operation.
Check that all valves operate smoothly, and return freely to the "neutral" position.

Avoid sudden braking or steering, go slow and leave more maneuvering room during cold weather operation.

OPERATION

DRIVING AND STEERING

ENSURE THAT THE ROUTE OF TRAVEL IS CLEAR OF PERSONNEL AND DEBRIS.

Press the foot switch. Slowly push the drive control lever "FORWARD" to provide forward travel, or pull the lever back for reverse travel.

NOTE: The speed of the unit is proportional to the distance the lever is moved.

To steer, press the steer rocker switch on the end of the drive control lever to the left or right as required.

Although the machine can be driven with the platform positioned at either end of the unit, the operator may find driving easier from the stowed position. The stowed position can be identified by the steer axle on the undercarriage. If driving is attempted with the platform over the opposite axle, you must remember that all directions given to the steer and drive controls will be in reverse.

When descending a ramp (incline), it is necessary to control the speed of the unit. To slow the unit, move the drive control lever slowly toward the center "neutral" position.

BRAKING

For parking, the brakes are automatically applied when the drive control lever is moved to the center "neutral" position.

RELEASE OF THE DRIVE CONTROL LEVER OR ACTUATION OF THE PLATFORM "EMERGENCY STOP" BUTTON WILL APPLY BRAKES IMMEDI-ATELY!

THIS MAY CAUSE UNEXPECTED PLATFORM MOVEMENT AS THE MACHINE COMES TO A SUDDEN STOP.

Page 44

BOOM, SUPERSTRUCTURE AND PLATFORM

Press the foot switch, then select the required function. Available functions are:

Lower Boom UP or DOWN
Upper Boom UP or DOWN
Upper Boom EXTEND or RETRACT
Superstructure swing LEFT or RIGHT
Platform level UP or DOWN
Platform rotate RIGHT or LEFT (option)

Each of these functions can be selected by moving the appropriate joystick or switch in the proper direction.

NOTE: Function speeds are generally proportional to joystick movement.

Multiple function control is possible by operating more than one function at the same time; however, this may reduce hydraulic fluid flow to each function, slowing response time and varying function speeds.

OPERATION

Page 45

OPERATION

SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURES

When finished with the machine, place it in the stowed position.
Park the machine on a level surface. Secure to prevent vandalism and to discourage children from climbing or plaving on it.
Turn off the main power key switch. Remove key to prevent unauthorized operation.

Page 46

TRANSPORTING THE UNIT

TRUCK OR TRAILER TRANSPORT

ALWAYS ATTACH THE UNIT TO A WINCH WHEN LOADING OR UNLOADING FROM A TRUCK OR TRAILER. UNASSISTED LOADING OR UNLOADING OF ANY MOBILE PLATFORM IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

THE WINCH OPERATOR AND UNIT OPERATOR MUST COORDINATE MOVEMENT WHILE LOADING THE UNIT. AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF THE WINCH TRYING TO PULL A STATIONARY MACHINE.

1. Enter the platform.
2. Raise the boom so that the platform will clear any obstacles as the machine is driven up the loading ramp. It may be necessary to raise the boom to allow greater ground clearance.
3. Carefully maneuver the unit onto the truck or trailer with the aid of a winch.
4. Confirm that the boom sections are fully retracted, and that the platform will not contact any other item, including the bed of the truck or trailer.

The platform or boom must not be tied down to the truck or trailer bed in any way.

5. The negative battery cables should be disconnected for long distance transport.
6. Tie down locations are located on all four corners of the undercarriage. Use four (4) 1/2 inch, "Grade 7" chains from each of the tie down lugs, and run the chains as shown in the diagram. (Refer to illustration on facing page.)

Ratchet type load binders are recommended. If using lever type load binders, wire or strap them shut, or wrap chains around them to prevent opening.

Tie Down of Unit (Recommended Method).

Page 48

EMERGENCY SYSTEM AND PROCEDURES

IF THE UNIT FAILS WHILE THE OPERATOR'S PLATFORM IS RAISED OR EXTENDED, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLIMB DOWN THE BOOM ASSEMBLY. SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.

EMERGENCY PUMP

This machine has an emergency pump which can be operated from the ground control station to briefly operate the machine when the unit has lost power.

Ground Operation:

Screw in (turn clockwise) appropriate knob on manifold to shift valve.
Pump emergency hand pump to perform the desired function. (Pump handle is stowed on the lower boom post.)

EMERGENCY ROTATION

The emergency rotation of the superstructure is performed by a mechanical override or the emergency pump.

For the mechanical override procedure, use a 30 mm socket, extension and ratchet handle attached to the hexagon extension shaft of the rotate drive gearbox.

For the emergency pump procedure, activate the emergency pump and engage the valve closest to the platform on the superstructure valve control bank.

Care should be taken not to override the electrical rotation stop to avoid damaging the hoses which pass through the rotation ring. Always rotate the machine to the normal stowed position by the shortest route. After using emergency rotation, check hoses for damage.

Page 49

UNPOWERED EMERGENCY VEHICLE MOVEMENT

• Every attempt should be made to restore primary power to the machine before using this procedure.

THIS PROCEDURE REQUIRES RELEASING THE MACHINE BRAKES, WHICH RESULTS IN NO MEANS TO STOP THE UNIT'S TRAVEL. SIMON RECOM-MENDS USING THIS PROCEDURE ONLY IN CASES OF EMERGENCY, AND ONLY FOR A SHORT DISTANCE.

BE AWARE OF UNIT RUNAWAY ON SLOPING SURFACES. MOVEMENT SPEED SHALL NOT EXCEED 3 M.P.H. (5 K.P.H.).

1. Secure the unit to the tow vehicle with chains or ropes.

This machine is equipped with tie down lugs (front and rear) that can be used for towing the unit. The chains or ropes must be of sufficient capacity to move the machine.

ALWAYS BLOCK THE WHEELS BEFORE YOU RELEASE THE BRAKES TO PREVENT UNEXPECTED UNIT MOVEMENT ON SLOPES.

2. Block/chock wheels.
3. Release brakes and disconnect transmission by fully screwing in (turning clockwise) the disengage plug located in the center of both rear wheel hubs. Use a 6 mm hexagon key.

After unblocking the wheels, the unit will be ready to be moved; however, there is no provision for steering the machine.

After primary power has been restored to the machine, fully unscrew (turning counterclockwise) the disengage plug with a 6 mm hexagon key.
The machine is now ready for normal operation.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. They must be protected from contamination (including rain) at all times.
Never open a hydraulic system when there are contaminants in the air.
ALWAYS clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic system.
Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible lubricants may be as harmful as no lubrication.
Report any makeshift "fixes" which can jeopardize safety as well as lead to more costly repairs.
Any work platform found not to be in safe operating condition should be removed from service until repaired. All repairs should be made by authorized personnel in conformance with the manufacturer's operating, maintenance, and repair manuals.

Page 56

HYDRAULIC PRESSURE CHECK

Install an hydraulic pressure gauge (5000 psi rated) into port P1 of the valve manifold located inside the rear compartment.
Turn the main power key switch to the "PLATFORM" position.
Enter the platform and press the steer rocker switch with the foot switch depressed.

When the wheels have turned to the full limit of travel, remain pressing the rocker switch while pressing the foot switch. This is called "deadheading", and will lead to maximum compensator setting of the pump system pressure registering on the gauge at the valve manifold. Have a second person read the hydraulic pressure gauge.

• Check that the hydraulic pressure is as stated in the specifications. Refer to the "Machine Specifications" of this manual for the "Maximum Hydraulic Pressure" for this unit.

HYDRAULIC OIL FILTER CHECK

Position booms over side of the undercarriage for convenience.
Select one of the boom controls. While running the hydraulic pump observe the filter condition indicator.

If the indicator shows a green band, the filter condition is satisfactory.

If the indicator shows a red band, the filter should be changed as soon as possible.

CONTROLLER DIAGNOSTICS

This machine is fitted with a Controller in the rear undercarriage compartment. The unit controls the variable output signals to both the traction motors and boom power pack. It contains a green diagnostic LED which illuminates constantly when the machine is powered up and functional (machine switched "ON" and foot switch depressed).

In the event of a fault condition occurring, the controller LED will automatically indicate the type of fault by varying the number of times the LED flashes between pauses.

The most important checks to perform on a machine which does not operate are:

check battery condition
check the cable connections and Controller connection plug.

NOTE: When the keyswitch is moved to ground or platform controls, the LED will indicate a "6" Flash condition, which is normal operation. If a boom or drive function is selected, the LED will remain on constantly.

BATTERY CHARGER

The battery charger supplied with this lift is designed to recharge deep-cycle, lead-acid batteries. It is a highly reliable unit with a minimum of moving parts.

To operate, turn key to "OFF" position, and connect the power supply cord to the proper electrical outlet. A green light turns on while charging the batteries. As they approach being fully charged, the green light dims, and the charger outputs a trickle charge. The charger DC output cord should remain connected to the batteries. Required charge time varies with depth of discharge.

AWARNING

CONNECT ONLY TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED THREE-PRONG, SINGLE PHASE OUTLET. TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT TOUCH UNINSU-LATED PARTS OF THE CHARGER DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR, BATTERY CONNECTOR OR TERMINALS. BE SURE CHARGER IS IN GOOD CONDITION, AND THAT BATTERY CONNECTORS MAKE ADEQUATE ELECTRICAL CONTACT AND ARE NOT CRACKED OR CORRODED. OVER-HEATING AND PROPERTY DAMAGE MAY RESULT.

LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES. NO SMOKING! KEEP SPARKS AND FLAME AWAY FROM BATTERIES. NEVER DISCON-NECT THE DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR FROM THE BATTERIES WHILE THE CHARGER IS OPERATING.

IF THE CHARGE CYCLE MUST BE INTERRUPTED, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM ITS OUTLET; DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DC OUTPUT CONNECTOR FROM THE BATTERY CONNECTOR.

BATTERY CHARGER TROUBLESHOOTING

HIGH VOLTAGE! WITH THE CHARGER ON, THE INTERNAL CHARGER CAPACITOR VOLTAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 650 VOLTS.

Always unplug the electrical cords from the AC outlet and the batteries before attempting any repairs to the charger.

NOTE: Modifying the charger for use other than that for which it was specifically intended, repairs by unqualified persons or use of other than original equipment replacement parts will void the warranty.

Page 59

MAINTENANCE

BATTERY CHARGER TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)

Due to the way these chargers are constructed, only basic troubleshooting is practical. Perform the following checks:

1. Make sure battery connections are electrically and mechanically sound.
2. Check AC source for power.
3. For models that have an exterior fuse, check it and replace it, if required, with one having the same rating.
4. Check battery condition. A highly sulfated battery may take some additional time before current begins to flow through it.

Limited Warranty

Simon Aerials Inc. (the "Company") warrants, to the original Buyer only,

(a) that new units of equipment manufactured and sold by it conform to the Company's published specifications;
(b) that all component parts manufactured by it shall be free from defects in material or workmanship for 12 months from the date the unit is first placed in service.
(c) that all structural components manufactured by it shall be free of any structural defect in materials or workmanship for 60 months from the date the new unit is first placed in service. Structural components covered under this section include and are limited to superstructure weldments, undercarriage weldments, boom weldments, platform support weldments (excluding rotary actuator), scissor arm weldments, turntable weldments, extendable axle weldments, and outriager or stabilizer weldments; and
(d) that component parts not manufactured by the Company shall be free from defects in material or workmanship for the period warranted by the Company's vendor.

If the Buyer discovers within the warranty period a failure to conform to the Company's published specifications or a defect in material or workmanship, it must promptly submit written notice of such condition to the Company and return the nonconforming part(s) to the factory, freight prepaid, together with a properly completed Simon Aerials Inc. Warranty Claim Form as furnished by the Company. In no event shall such notice be accepted later than 30 days following expiration of the applicable warranty period. If, after inspection by factory Quality Assurance personnel, the returned part(s) are judged to be not in conformity with specifications or defective in material or workmanship, the Company will correct such condition by delivering repaired or new replacement part(s) to the Buyer, free of charge. Any labor cost involved in removal or replacement of such part(s) shall be the responsibility of the Buyer. This remedy is the Buyer's exclusive remedy for breach of warranty.

This warranty does not cover damage caused by shipment, misuse of the unit (including operation beyond unit specification limits), failure to properly service and maintain the unit in accordance with the Company's Manual or Factory Service Bulletins, alteration of the unit, or natural disasters (such as fire, flood, wind and lightning) and shall be void if

(1) the unit is altered or repaired contrary to the Company's authorized instructions,
(2) the unit is altered or repaired in such a way as to affect its performance or reliability, or
(3) the unit is mounted on a chassis or carrier which does not meet the Company's published minimum requirements.

The foregoing warranty is in Lieu of All other warranties, express or implied, including but not Limited to the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

If field repair or parts replacement is necessary on warranted components, the Company will reimburse distributors for direct labor costs incurred therefor according to the Company's current authorized field service rate, providing that advance approval for said work is granted by Simon Aerials Service Department. In no event shall the Company be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential or special damage (including without limitation loss of profits, loss of revenue, cost of capital, cost of substitute equipment, downtime, claims of third parties and injury to person or property) based upon any claim of breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, strict liability in tort, or any other legal theory. This limited warranty allocates the risks of product failure between the Company and the Buyer, and that allocation is recognized by both parties and is reflected in the price of the goods.

This written warranty is understood to be the complete and exclusive agreement between the parties, superceding all prior agreements, oral or written and all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of this warranty. No employee, agent or distributor of the Company or any other person is authorized to state or imply any additional warranties on behalf of the Company, nor to assume for the Company any other liability in connection with any of its products, unless made in writing and signed by an officer of the Company.
