  • 20. ENGINE THROTTLE/SPEED OPERATION - (STANDARD) Engine "speed" (RPM) increases automatically to preset limit whenever foot operated switch in platform is operated. Engine speed advances to "next" preset limit whenever drive control lever is operated. Release drive control lever to return engine to lower speed. Release foot operated switch to return engine to idle speed.
  • 21. TRAVEL ALARM - (OPTION) Operation is not selected. Dual tone alarm turns "on" whenever DRIVE/STEER CONTROL LEVER is moved from center off position to notify that aerial lift is driving. Return of lever to off position turns alarm off.
  • 22. ALL MOTION ALARM - (OPTION) Operation is not selected. Dual tone alarm turns "on" whenever foot operated switch is depressed or ground aerial selector switch is moved to GROUND to notify that aerial lift is operating. Release of switch turns alarm off.
  • 20. OSCILLATING AXLE - (OPTION) Operation is not selected. With boom "stowed" (fully down and in) steering axle moves 60 (up or down 30 from horizontal) in response to changes in contour of travel surface, to keeps all driving wheels in contact with the ground thus provide maximum traction over uneven terrain.

Lifting boom up or extending boom out "locks" axle in position. This may result in wheel on high slide of slope no longer contacting ground, if aerial lift is driven onto an even surface from an uneven surface. To lower wheel onto ground, first retract and than lower boom.

  • 21. 4 WHEEL DRIVE - (OPTION) Operation is not selected. All 4 hydraulic drive motors are used continuously in drive operation to provide greater torque than that provided by standard 2 wheel drive system. Maximum tractive effort is obtained with drive speed select switch to LOW.
  • 22. SELF CORECTING DIRECTIONAL CONTROLS - (OPTION) Operation is not selected. Drive and steer operation on aerial lifts "not" equipped with this option match drive control handle movement "only" when boom is centered over steering wheels (operator facing controls). Rotating boom 900 or more results in operation in a direction opposite than that of handle movement.

Self correcting directional controls "REVERSE" drive and steer functions to continuously operate them in direction handle is moved. Reversal occurs "AUTOMATICALLY" whenever boom is rotated more than 900 from over steering wheels.

When simultaneously driving and rotating drive/steer operation remains unchanged. Release of drive/steer lever enables reversing of operation to keep function corresponding to handle direction.

25. 4 WHEEL STEER - (OPTION) Operation is not selected. Operation of steering function results in all four wheels turning in desired steering direction at the same time, to enable greater maneuverability in close or confined areas

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

BEFORE OPERATION CHECK

Before operating the aerial lift, perform the following procedures:

  • 1. Visually inspect all exposed parts of the aerial lift and report all deficiencies. DO NOT OPERATE aerial lift until all deficiencies noted have been corrected!
  • 2. Refer to the Maintenance section and perform the periodic maintenance.
  • 3. Check the fuel tank level. Check and/or fill the propane tank (if equipped).
  • 4. Test the operation of the controls at the ground control station. Release the EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH by turning the knob clockwise and turn the MASTER SWITCH to START. Release the switch after the engine has started and test the EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH by pushing "in" on the knob. Restart the engine pull the GROUND/AERIAL SELECTOR SWITCH to GROUND and operate all of the function switches momentarily in both directions. Check the operation of the emergency pump by pushing the EMERGENCY PUMP SWITCH to the EMERGENCY PUMP position. Upon completion of the test inspect the aerial lift for any signs of leaks.
  • 5. Enter the platform. Ensure that the entry gate is closed and latched. Attach the lanyard of your personnel restraint device to the indicated attachment point. Repeat the test in step 5 at the aerial control station. Release the EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH by turning the knob clockwise. Turn ENGINE OFF/ON/START & EMERGENCY PUMP SWITCH to START. Release switch after engine has started and test the EMER-GENCY STOP SWITCH by pushing "in" on the knob. Restart engine, step down on pedal of FOOT OPER-ATED SWITCH and operate all control levers and function switches momentarily in both directions. Check emergency pump by turning the ENGINE OFF/ON/START & EMERGENCY PUMP SWITCH to the EMER-GENCY PUMP position.
  • 6. Your aerial lift is equipped with fully proportional controls. When using any proportional function, move the control lever "gradually" in the desired direction. The control lever is spring-centered and will return to the "OFF" position when released.
  • 7. The normal drive configuration is with the boom located over the steering wheels. This provides the best weight distribution for maximum traction. If the boom is rotated 180° the drive and steer decals read in reverse, therefore the operator must reverse the drive and steer functions in order to move in the desired direction. The arrow type decals on each end of the base demonstrate the direction of the base without regard to the position of the turret.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

BEFORE OPERATION CHECK

A. Interlocks, Cut-outs and Warnings: What Interlocks, Cut-outs, And Warnings Do I Have?

*Operating Instructions To Check Interlocks, Cut-Outs, & Warnings
1. Unstable Condition Warning Light & Alarm

The aerial lift is equipped with an UNSTABLE CONDITION WARNING LIGHT & ALARM. When the alarm is "on" the aerial lift is in a potentially unsafe out-of-level or unstable position and all "boom" functions will be disabled. The system is automatically activated whenever the boom is elevated or extended. An unsafe out-of-level condition is defined as the boom being either raised or extended and the aerial lift is tilted at an angle greater than 5° from the front to the rear or from side to side.

The unsafe condition is indicated by a red warning light located on the top center of the aerial control station and an audible "dual-tone" alarm. When the UNSTABLE CONDITION WARNING LIGHT & ALARM turn "on" the BOOM UP/DOWN, RISER UP/DOWN, BOOM IN/OUT, TURRET ROTATE, PLATFORM TILT, PLATFORM ROTATE and JIB functions will not operate. The DRIVE and STEER operation are not affected and will operate. Should the UNSTABLE CONDITION WARNING LIGHT & ALARM come on, maneuver the aerial lift back in the direction it came from until it is, once again, on a safe level operating surface. When the UNSTABLE CONDITION WARNING LIGHT & ALARM turn "off" all functions will be restored.

To determine if unstable condition warning light & alarm are operational and controls disabled:

  • 1. Move the boom fully "in" (retract) and down!
  • 2. With the DRIVE SPEED SELECT SWITCH to LOW, drive the aerial lift onto a slope slightly greater than 50 but not greater than 100. Be sure the platform is pointed down the slope. Drive the aerial lift partially up the slope and come to a complete stop. Release the foot operated switch. The UNSTABLE CONDITION WARNING LIGHT & ALARM should turn "on". DO NOT operate the aerial lift if the alarm does not turn on!
  • 3. If the alarm turns "on", step down on pedal of the foot operated switch (the alarm will turn off) and operate the BOOM IN/OUT control lever to extend the boom out slightly. The alarm should turn "on" and the boom out function should stop. DO NOT continue to operate the function if the alarm does not turn "on" or if the boom out function does not stop!
  • 4. If the alarm turns "on" and the boom out function stops, check the other functions to ensure that they are not operable. DO NOT use the aerial lift if any function other than the drive or steer are operable!
  • 5. To turn off the UNSTABLE CONDITION WARNING LIGHT & ALARM and regain full operation of the controls, drive the aerial lift back down the slope onto a level surface. Drive in a slow controlled manner with the platform pointed down the slope. Once the aerial lift is on a slope of less than 50 the alarm will turn off and full operation will be restored.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

BEFORE OPERATION CHECK

2. Fast drive speed cut-out

The aerial lift is equipped with a fast drive speed cut-out . When the boom is slightly "up" (raised) or "out" (extended) the aerial lift's drive speed is limited to a maximum of 1.5 miles per hour (2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive will be slightly slower). To obtain the maximum travel speed of 3.0 miles per hour, move the boom fully "in" (retract) and "down" (lower) and select FAST with the DRIVE SPEED SELECT SWITCH.

To determine if fast drive speed cut-out is operational:

  • 1. Select a test area having a smooth, prepared surface and one which is free from obstacles or personnel posing a potential collision hazard.
  • 2. Position the platform with the boom centered over the steering axle. Move the boom fully down. Raise the jib up sufficiently far to prevent the platform from contacting the ground and move the boom "out" approximately 12 to 15 inches.
  • 3. Place the DRIVE SPEED SELECT SWITCH to SLOW.
  • 4. Straighten the wheels and drive aerial lift carefully in reverse a short distance.
  • 5. Place the DRIVE SPEED SELECT SWITCH to FAST and drive aerial lift carefully in reverse a short distance.
  • 6. If the fast drive speed cut-out is operational, the aerial lift will have operated only in slow speed during both checks.
  • NOTE: If the drive speed is faster with the boom out, DO NOT operate the aerial lift until repairs have been made by a qualified technician.
  • 7. Center the boom over the steering axle and raise the boom up approximately 12 inches (raise the jib up to obtain a good field of view to the front of the aerial lift).
  • 9. Place the DRIVE SPEED SELECT SWITCH to SLOW.
  • 10. Straighten the wheels and drive aerial lift forward a short distance.
  • 11. Place the DRIVE SPEED SELECT SWITCH to FAST and drive aerial lift carefully forward a short distance.
  • 12. If the fast drive speed cut-out is operational, the aerial lift will have operated only in slow speed during both checks.
  • NOTE: If the drive speed is faster with the boom up, DO NOT operate the aerial lift until repairs have been made by a qualified technician.

How Can The Aerial Lift Be Loaded?

  • A. Under Own Power
  • B. Not Under Own Power
  • C. Lifting Aerial Lift With Crane

A. Loading Aerial Lift Under Own Power

  • 1. Visually inspect aerial lift for any sign of damage, leaks, or loose wires. If any problems are identified, repairs must be made before loading.
  • 2. If loading ramps are being used, select ramps of adequate capacity to support the weight of the aerial lift. These ramps must be wide enough to allow plenty of side clearance beyond the wheels. Information on the weight and width of the aerial lift is contained in the Specifications Section of this manual.
  • 3. It is suggested to use a winch for loading and unloading the aerial lift. If the angle of the ramp(s) exceeds 14° (25%), a winch must be used to load the aerial lift. Attach the winch cable to the loops provided for this purpose on the front of the base. Using a winch will assure greater safety in loading the aerial lift.

LOADING

  • 4. Position ramp or truck bed so that the centerline is in line with the centerline of aerial lift to ensure the aerial lift will not run off side of ramp.
  • 5. Position the aerial lift at the bottom of the ramp(s) directly behind the bed of the truck with the nonsteering wheels touching the ramp(s) and the platform pointed away from the truck.
  • 6. When going up or down a grade the platform should always be pointed down the slope (riser or counterweight end facing up slope) and with the boom centered over the steering wheels.
  • 7. At ground control station, turn MASTER SWITCH to ON and turn knob of EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH clockwise to activate controls at aerial control station.

  • 8. At aerial control station, enter platform, ensure entry gate is closed and latched. Attach fall protection gear to designated attaching point. Turn knob of EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH clockwise and start engine.
  • 9. Straighten the wheels to allow direct travel up ramp
  • 10. Switch the DRIVE SPEED SELECT SWITCH to SLOW.
  • 11. Remove all unnecessary personnel from the loading area.
  • 12. Use great care while driving and steering the aerial lift up the ramp. Use SLOW drive speed and keep all slack out of the winch cable (if used). If a winch is used and the ramp is too steep for the aerial lift to climb, the winch will pull the aerial lift up the ramp. Keep the drive function control engaged while winching, to avoid damaging the aerial lift.
  • 13. Lift and/or lower the jib as needed to prevent the bottom of the platform from contacting the ground, ramp(s), or truck, do not raise the jib any higher than neccesary to do so (do not raise the boom )
  • 14. When the aerial lift is on the truck and the aerial lift's weight is properly distributed on the truck's axles, the aerial lift is ready to be tied down. Turn the ENGINE OFF/ON/START & EMERGENCY PUMP SWITCH to OFF and push "in" on the EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH at both the aerial and ground control stations. Turn the MASTER SWITCH at the ground control station to OFF.
  • 15. Tie down the aerial lift as shown later in this section.

  • 9. Remove all unnecessary personnel from the loading area and position steering wheels to permit winching the aerial lift up the ramp(s) and exit the platform. If you must steer the aerial lift to keep it properly aligned to the ramp(s), block the non-steering wheels and enter the platform only to operate the DRIVE/STEER CONTROL LEVER. Do not stand in the platform when loading the aerial lift not under it's own power.
  • 10. The jib can be raised and/or lowered as needed to prevent the platform from contacting the ground, ramps, or truck. Raise or lower the jib from the ground control station only, stop the winch before performing this task.
  • 11. When the aerial lift is on the truck and it's weight is properly distributed on the truck's axles, turn the MASTER SWITCH to OFF and push "in" on the EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH at both the aerial and ground control stations.
  • 12. The torque hubs must be reengaged before the aerial lift is tied down.

To reengage the sorque hubs:

  • a. Remove the two (2) bolts fastening the disconnect cap to the torque hub.
  • b. Rock the wheel until the plunger in the center of the torque hub "pops" back out. DO NOT operate the drive function until the torque hubs are properly engaged.
  • c. Turn the disconnect cap back over so that the nipple is pointed away from the face of the torque hub.

MAINTENANCE

INTRODUCTION

In addition to the "Before Operation Checks" described in Section 5, a regular program of periodic preventive maintenance is absolutely essential to prolonging the life of the aerial lift, maximizing efficient service and minimizing downtime. This section details a series of checks and procedures which are performed at daily, weekly, monthly and semi-annual intervals.

Even if the operator is not directly responsible for maintenance of the aerial lift, he should perform daily, all of the inspections listed in the "Before Operation Check", in Section 5 of the "Operator's Manual".

NOTE: Report and repair all deficiencies noted during the "Before Operation Check". The operator should be assured that the aerial lift has been properly maintained and inspected before operating it.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE (ref pg. 9-2 - 9-3)

The maintenance checks prescribed for longer intervals include those required for the shorter intervals. Thus, the weekly check includes all items in the daily check, the monthly check includes all items in the weekly and daily checks, and so on through the semiannual check, which includes the quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily checks.

The maintenance schedule provided serves a guide to assure that the minimum basic preventive maintenance requirements will be met under average operating conditions. Conditions which impose greater wear, loads or strain on the aerial lift may dictate reducing the interval between these checks. Before altering the recommended maintenance schedule, reevaluate the aerial lift's operation and review the owner's inspection records. Consider all factors involved and develop a revised schedule adequate to meet routine maintenance requirements.

Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for engine maintenance requirements. Should any discrepancy occur relative to the maintenance schedule provided in this manual and those provide by the engine manufacturer, the engine manufacturer's recommendations take precedence over those in this manual.

OWNER'S INSPECTION RECORD (ref pg. 9-5

Periodic maintenance of the aerial lift is the responsibility of the owner. The "Aerial Lift Inspection Report" shown on page 9-3 is to be used for recording the date of each inspection, person(s) performing the inspection, any deficiencies found, and corrective action.

This record also serves as a tool toward detecting problem areas and reanalyzing maintenance requirements.

Air Cleaner

The air cleaner should be checked and cleaned on a weekly basis. To clean the air cleaner:

  • Loosen the clamp securing the cup to the air cleaner
  • Remove the cup and clean out any dirt or foreign matter in the cup.
  • Reinstall the cup and tighten the clamp.
Coolant Level

The coolant level must be checked daily. The coolant level is checked at the coolant reservoir. Ensure that the coolant level is between the Full and Low marks on the coolant reservoir while the engine is cool. If the coolant level is near or below the Low mark, add a equal amounts of antifreeze and water until the level is at the Full mark. Do not add alcohol or methanol antifreeze. Refer to the engine manufacturers manual for additional information. CAUTION do not open hot radiator! Allow radiator to cool if engine has been operated recently.

MAINTENANCE

Hydraulic & Engine Oil

Various hydraulic fluid manufacturer's use different additives which may cause problems in a hydraulic system when mixed together. This situation is rare but can cause sludge, which can plug filters, or acid which can etch machined surfaces in hydraulic components or deteriorate seals. Any of the above conditions can result in a hydraulic component warranty being voided. If, knowing all this, you still choose to add fluid different from that initially supplied ("NORTRAN automatic transmission fluid", equivalent DEXRON II), stay with a single brand as this will minimize the likelihood of problems occurring. Then at the first complete hydraulic fluid change, you may switch to the brand you prefer to use.

If engine oil needs to be added, the aerial lift owner must be contacted to find out what brand and viscosity of oil is being used. Use the same brand and viscosity of oil that is presently being used in the aerial lift when adding engine oil. The aerial lift owner should refer to the engine manufacturers manual to select the proper oil to use.

Hydraulic Oil

Check the hydraulic fluid level on a daily basis. The oil level must be between the "HIGH" and "LOW" marks in the sight glass of the hydraulic tank. Add fluid as needed through the filler neck on top of the hydraulic tank. The hydraulic system was filled at the factory with Nortran automatic transmission fluid (equivalent Dexron II). Any oil used in this aerial lift's hydraulic system must meet the specifications of Dexron II.

Engine Oil

Check the engine oil level on a daily basis. The oil level must be within the "SAFE" level on the engine oil dipstick. Add oil as needed in the filler cap on top of the engine. Refer to the engine manufacturer's manual for the recommended type oil.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL

MAINTENANCE

BATTERY

Avoid Battery Hazards!

  • Batteries produce flammable and explosive gasses. Keep electric arcs, sparks, flames, and lit cigarettes (pipes, cigars, etc.) away from batteries.
  • Battery acid will damage eyes or skin on contact. Always wear a face shield during battery maintenance to avoid getting acid in eyes. Always wear rubber gloves and protective clothing to keep acid off skin.
  • Never check the battery by placing a metal object across the posts. Serious burns or an explosion can result.
Checking the Battery Electrolyte Level

Check the colored "eye" in the top of the battery, a green color indicates that battery electrolyte level is okay.

Water or Acid Loss to Batteries

Water loss from the battery occurs mainly as the result of evaporation brought on by temperature rises during charging. A small amount may be lost due to gasses formed during charging. Electrolyte may be lost if the case becomes cracked or the battery tips over. Therefore, electrolyte is seldom needed.

Checking the Electrolyte (Battery Water) level "physically"

When checking the electrolyte level, don't allow dirt to enter into the battery cells once the caps have been removed. Take particular care to avoid setting the battery-cell caps down on a dirty surface. Replace the caps immediately after checking the level.

FILLING THE BATTERY

MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

  • 1. Battery Filler Bottle
  • 2. Distilled Water

If the battery water level is below the plates add only enough water to cover the plates approximately 1/2 inch, DO NOT fill to indicator ring.

Note : With proper attention to water level the battery should have a long, useful life.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

This section provides information on the procedures to be followed and on the systems and controls to be used in the event of an emergency.

A. Engine Dies With Platform Elevated

If the engine dies; make sure the EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH is released by turning the knob clockwise. Attempt to restart the engine by first turning the ENGINE OFF/ON/START & EMERGENCY PUMP SWITCH to the OFF position and then back to START. If the engine does not start promptly, do not hold the starter engaged for an extended period.

Prolonged "engagement" (operating) of the starter may damage the starter or drain battery power. The battery may be needed to operate the EMERGENCY PUMP to enable the platform to be lowered. If the engine restarts, lower the platform to the ground and determine the cause of the engine failure before attempting further of use the aerial lift.

If the engine fails to start after a number of attempts, turn the IGNITION SWITCH to the OFF position and back to the ON position. Turn the ENGINE OFF/ON/START & EMERGENCY PUMP SWITCH to EMERGENCY PUMP, step down on the pedal of the FOOT OPERATED SWITCH and operate the platform controls in the normal manner to lower the platform to the ground.

Once the platform is safely on the ground, exit the platform and DO NOT attempt to operate the aerial lift again until the cause of the engine failure has been determined and corrected.

B. Operator In Platform Becomes Incapacitated

If the operator in the platform becomes incapacitated or is unable to lower the platform from the aerial control station, the platform can be lowered from the GROUND CONTROL STATION.

To lower the platform from the ground control station:

  • turn the knob of the EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH clockwise.
  • make sure the MASTER SWITCH is turned to ON.
  • if the engine is not running or cannot be started, push the EMERGENCY PUMP SWITCH to EMERGENCY PUMP.
  • use the BOOM IN/OUT, BOOM UP/DOWN RISER UP/DOWN and TURRET ROTATE switches as needed to lower the platform to the ground (it is not necessary to hold the AERIAL/GROUND SELECTOR SWITCH to GROUND to enable operation of the controls)
C. Incident Notification

It is imperative that Mark Industries be notified immediately of any incident involving a Marklift. Even if no injury or property damage is evident, the factory should be contacted and provided with all necessary details.
