Special Limitations

Travel with the platform raised is limited to creep speed range. Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level surfaces only .

ADanger

The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the work platform is level and on a firm surface.

The work platform is NOT intended to be driven over uneven, rough, or soft terrain.

Platform Capacity

Two people and tools may occupy the platform. The maximum platform capacity for the aerial platform is stated in the “Specifications” on page 20.

ADanger

DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or the platform occupancy limits for this machine.

Manual Force

Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to objects such as walls or other structures outside the work platform.

The maximum allowable manual force is limited to 200N (45 lbs) of force per occupant, with a maximum of 400 N (90 lbs) for two occupants.

ADanger

DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual force for this machine.

The system will remain in error mode until the excess load is removed from the platform and the emergency stop button or start switch is cycled off and back on, resetting the system. At that time, the machine functions are operational.

ACaution

The emergency power system is for emergency lowering and stowing only. The length of time the pump can be operated depends on the capacity of the battery. Do not use this system for normal operation.

If the platform overload sensing system is tripped while operating the machine or if the system is in error mode and can not be reset, the emergency power system may still be used for emergency machine operation.

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated on the platform rating placard.

The overload sensing system is not active when the machine is being driven with the booms in the stowed position. This allows the machine to be driven without the system sensing an overload due to rough ground conditions.

To eliminate repeated tripping of the system during machine operation, there is a five second delay in machine functions following:

starting the engine.

•

Platform Overload Sensing System

All functions are stopped from the upper and lower controls, when the platform overload limit is exceeded. The horn will sound intermittently and the platform overload light will blink until the excess load is removed from the platform. At that time, the machine functions are again

operational. If the platform becomes significantly overloaded, or if an

upward force on the platform exceeds approximately 2225 N (500 lbs), the system will enter into error mode, stopping all functions from the upper and lower controls. The horn will then sound constantly and the overload light will stay illuminated at the upper and lower controls.

Operation

The aerial platform may be operated from either the lower or upper controls.

ADanger

The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor. Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by national safety regulations.

Pinch points may exist between moving components. Death or serious injury will result from becoming trapped between components, buildings, structures or other obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the machine before moving the chassis, booms, or platform. Allow sufficient room and time to stop movement to avoid contact with structures or other hazards.

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Operate the aerial platform on a firm, flat, level surface. Avoid travel speeds and/or rough terrain that could cause sudden changes in platform position. Do not drive or position the aerial platform for elevated use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft or uneven ground, or other tip-over hazard.

The engine may be equipped with a block heater. Plug the heater cord in eight hours before starting the engine. The heater will warm the engine block to make cold weather starting easier.

Unplug the power cord before starting the engine.

Hydraulic System Cold Weather Warm-Up

Some engines may have a hydraulic fluid warm-up system that will automatically warm the fluid upon activating the warm-up switch. The hydraulic fluid may also be warmed manually if the machine is not equipped with the optional warm-up system.

ACaution

Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hydraulic system. Some have poor lubricating characteristics and can increase component wear. Only use hydraulic fluid as recommended.

Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the machine General Specifications in temperatures of -12°C (10°F) or below.

Hydraulic System Warm-up Switch

This system may be used to warm the hydraulic fluid when the ambient temperature is below 0°C (32°F) and boom movement is sluggish because of cold fluid.

The platform rated work load is the total weight of the personnel and equipment that may be lifted in the platform. The work loads are stated on the platform rating placard mounted at the rear of the platform.

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated on the platform rating placard.

Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity and do not indicate aerial platform stability .

The operator bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the aerial platform is properly set up for the particular conditions encountered.

Cold Weather Start-Up

If the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F) or below, the engine and hydraulic system oil may need to be warmed before operation. Do not operate the engine at more than a fast idle until the engine and hydraulic oil has had a chance to warm. The engine may be equipped with an optional cold weather start kit.

Cold, thick hydraulic oil does not flow well and may cause delay in response to control movement and improper voltage output of the AC generator. Cold oil may also cause cavitation and pump damage. The hydraulic system may be equipped with an optional cold weather warm-up kit.

There may be a toggle switch for the warm-up system on the lower control panel and/or one on the left side of the upper control panel.

The engine must be running and the switch used to turn the system on must be at the same location that the engine was started. For example, if the engine was started from the lower controls, the warm-up switch at the lower controls must be used for the system to operate.

To operate the warm-up system:

1. Start the engine and place the engine throttle in the low position.

2. From the same control station that the engine was started, place the warm-up switch in the on position.

3. After the hydraulic fluid reaches 10°C (50°F) as indicated on the thermometer, place the warm-up switch in the off position.

Manually Warming The Hydraulic System

The hydraulic oil may be warmed by bottoming out the boom extension cylinder. Raise the main boom so it is horizontal and operate the boom retract function while the machine is stowed. With the cylinder bottomed out the oil flow will produce heat to warm the hydraulic oil.

ACaution

Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hydraulic system. Some have poor lubricating characteristics and can increase component wear. Only use hydraulic fluid as recommended.

AB60JRT 9

Operation

Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the machine General Specifications in temperatures of -12°C (10°F) or below.

Preparing for Operation

1. Perform a prestart inspection as described in the “Daily Preventative Maintenance Checklist” on page

17.

2. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position.

3. Close and latch the doors.

4. Before painting or sandblasting make sure the sandblast protection kit and the platform control cover are properly installed. These options, when used properly will protect the control placards and cylinder rods from paint overspray and abrasion while sandblasting.

Lower Controls

The lower controls override the upper controls. This means that the lower controls can always be used to operate the platform regardless of the position of the upper control emergency stop button.

Boom, turntable, and platform functions may be operated from the lower controls. The lower controls may be used for initial set up of the aerial platform, and for testing and inspection.

Use the following procedure to operate boom, turntable, or platform functions using the lower controls (ref: Figure 3 on page 6).

8. Place the ground operation switch in the off position when no functions are being operated.

5. Gradually turn the boom speed knob to control the boom extend, jib and platform rotate function speed.

6. Releasing the control to its neutral position, or releasing the foot switch will stop movement.

Driving and Steering

ADanger

The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not drive an elevated aerial platform on soft, uneven, or sloping surfaces. Do not drive the machine on grades that exceed 20 percent.

Operation

For operation on grades up to 20 percent, it is recommended that the riser and main booms be fully lowered and the jib elevated just enough to provide adequate ground clearance. A 20 percent grade is a 61 cm (24″) vertical rise in 3.05 m (10′) horizontal length.

Avoid driving with the platform over the front (steer) end of the chassis. In this position the machine is difficult to control because:

drive and steer control movements and their result-

• ing machine movements are reversed.

when driving fast, sudden turns or stops produce

• more severe reactions to platform occupants.

more turning space is required to prevent the

• platform from colliding with obstacles several feet beyond the path of the tires.

AWarning

Death or serious injury can result from improperly driving or steering the aerial platform. Read and understand the information in this manual and on the placards and decals on the machine before operating the aerial platform on the job.

The blue and yellow arrows on the chassis indicate the direction the chassis will move when the drive or steer control is moved toward the corresponding color.

When the machine is in the stowed position, with the booms centered between the rear wheels, the direction of drive and steer control movement corresponds with the direction of chassis movement.

When the turntable is rotated from the stowed position, with the booms to either side of or in front of the chassis, the direction of control movement does not correspond with the direction of chassis movement.

To avoid confusion, always drive to the work area or move between work areas with the turntable and booms in the stowed position. After arriving at the work area, the booms may be positioned to the side or the front of the chassis for final positioning. Always look in the direction of movement as indicated by the directional arrows on the chassis.

demand slow deliberate machine movement. Low range is for low speed, high torque operation.

2. Place the drive/boom selector switch in the drive position.

3. Step down on the platform foot switch.

4. Push the drive joystick forward to move the chassis forward, the direction of the blue arrow. Pull the joystick backward to move the chassis backward, the direction of the yellow arrow. The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position.

5. To stop drive motion, return the joystick to neutral.

6. Push the drive joystick to the right to steer to the right, the direction of the yellow arrow. Push the joystick to the left to steer to the left, the direction of the blue arrow.

Note The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the steering wheels straight ahead after completing a turn.

7. After driving to the desired location, release the foot switch, or push the emergency stop button to apply the parking brakes.

Drive Speeds

The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position. The farther the joystick is moved, the faster the travel speed.

Always slow down and shift the drive system to low range before traveling over rough terrain or any sloped surface.

Drive speed ranges are interlocked through a limit switch that senses the main boom position. When the boom is elevated, only the slowest drive speed will work regardless of the drive range switch position.

AWarning

The potential for an accident increases when safety devices do not function properly. Death or serious injury can result from such accidents. Do not alter, disable or override any safety device.

Use the following procedure to operate the drive and steer functions.

1. Determine the desired drive range for the specific driving conditions.

Use high range when traveling across ﬁ rm, ﬂ at,

• level surfaces. High range can only be activated when the booms are stowed. High range is for high speed, low torque operation.

Use low range for driving on loading ramps or

• other steep grades and when safety considerations

AB60JRT 11

Do not use the aerial platform if it drives faster than 1.1 km/h (0.7 mile per hour) [9.7 m (32 feet) in 30 seconds] when the booms are elevated from the stowed position.

Motion Warning Alarm

The optional motion warning alarm sounds loud intermittent beeps when the drive joystick is in the forward or reverse position.

AC Generator

The generator supplies power to the electrical outlet only when the engine is running and the machine is stationary . The machine functions will not operate when the machine/ generator selector switch is in the generator position.

Operation

ACaution

Cold hydraulic oil does not flow well and may produce improper generator output voltage. Improper outlet voltage can damage some electrical power tools and equipment. Warm the hydraulic oil before operating the generator.

Do not operate the generator unless the hydraulic oil temperature is at least 38°C (100°F). Refer to Cold Weather Start-Up for a hydraulic oil warm-up procedure.

Start the engine and place the machine/generator selector switch in the generator position (ref: Figure 4 on

page 6). The engine will run at high idle while the generator is

operating. The generator will continue to operate as long as the engine is running and the switch is in the generator position.

Air Line

The optional air line may be used to conduct air for tool operation at the platform. The input connector is at the rear of the chassis and the output connector is at the platform on the rotator guard. The maximum working pressure of the line is 1,723 kPa (250 psi).

The air line may be used to conduct fluids such as water or antifreeze. Contact your local distriburor or UpRight for compatibility information before using the air line to conduct other fluids.

the engine will not start or the emergency power system will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15 minutes each hour.

Platform Work Lights

The optional platform work lights are located on the top rail of the platform. The direction a light points can be adjusted by using two 1/2″ wrenches to loosen the clamp below the light.

The lights are operational when the upper controls emergency stop button is pulled up and the anti-restart master switch is turned on. The engine speed increases to high idle when the platform work lights are turned on.

Emergency Lowering

AWarning

If the platform should fail to lower, NEVER climb down the elevating assembly.

Stand clear of the elevating assembly while operating the Emergency Lowering Valve Knob.

The riser and main booms can be lowered in an emergency using their respective emergency lowering knobs. The emergency lowering knobs are at the base of the lift cylinders. The emergency lowering knobs allow the booms to be lowered only. Only use this method if the engine will not start and the emergency power system will not work.

ACaution

Fluid in the air line can damage some air tools or freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the air line after using it to conduct fluids.

Use the following procedure to drain the air line.

1. Close the input connector on the chassis.

2. Open the output connector at the platform.

3. Raise the boom slightly above horizontal.

4. Open the input connector on the chassis.

5. Allow the fluid to drain from the line.

6. Lower the boom and close both connections.

Driving Lights

The optional driving lights are for use in dimly lit areas and are not intended for driving on public roadways. There are two headlights at the front of the chassis and two blinking taillights at the rear of the chassis. The lights are operational when the battery disconnect switch and the master switch are turned on.

ADanger

Pinch points exist between boom components and between the booms and turntable. Death or serious injury will result if the booms or platform lowers onto personnel. Make sure all personnel stand clear while lowering the booms.

Riser Boom

Use the following procedure to manually lower the riser boom.

1. Slowly turn the knob (refer to Figure 5) to open the bleed down valve. Control the rate of descent by turning the knob.

AWarning

The potential for an accident increases when safety devices do not function properly. Death or serious injury can result from such accidents. Fully close the emergency lowering knob before operating the aerial platform.

Transporting the Machine

Preparing for Transportation

Use the following procedure to prepare the aerial platform for transportation.

1. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other loose objects from the platform.

2. Close and latch all cowling doors.

By Crane

Secure the straps to chassis lifting/lugs only . Know the approximate location of the center of gravity

before lifting the machine off the ground. Refer to Figure

ADanger

Lifting by Crane is for transport purposes only.

See Specifications for weight of machine and be certain that the crane is of adequate capacity to lift the machine.

By Truck

1. Maneuver the machine into transport position and chock wheels.

2. Place a wood block under the tip end of the jib foot. Lower the platform so the foot rests on the wood block.

ACaution

Ratchets, winches, and come-alongs can produce enough force to damage machine components. Do not over tighten the straps or chains when securing the aerial platform to the transport vehicle.

3. Use a nylon strap to securely fasten the platform against the wood block. Thread the strap over the toeboard. Refer to Figure 8.

Figure 8 – Platform

4. Secure the machine to the transport vehicle with chains or straps of adequate load capacity attached to the chassis lifting/tie down points.

AWarning

Never perform service while the platform is elevated.

Hydraulic Fluid

The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the chassis door. Refer to Figure 9.

Figure 9 – Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir

Battery Maintenance

AWarning

Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame, and smoking material away from batteries.

Always wear safety glasses when working near batteries.

Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water.

Always replace batteries with Snorkel batteries or manufacturer approved replacements weighing 26,3 kg (58 lbs) each.

Check the battery ﬂ uid level daily, especially if the

• machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.

If electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8″) above the plates add distilled water only . DO NOT use tap water with high mineral content, as it will shorten battery life.

Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.

• Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and

• for complete service instructions.

Note Never add fluid if the platform is elevated.

Check Hydraulic Fluid

1. Make sure that the platform is fully lowered.

2. Open the left front cowling door.

3. Check the fluid level on the gauge on the end of the reservior.

4. Add the appropriate fluid to bring the level to the FULL mark. See “Specifications” on page 20.

Engine

Open the engine compartment doors on both sides of the machine and visually inspect the engine and its components with the engine off.

Oil Level

Check the engine oil level before starting the engine so the oil has drained to the pan. The proper oil level is between the add and full marks on the dipstick.

The distance between the top and bottom dipstick marks corresponds to about 1 l (1 quart US). Add oil, if necessary , before starting the engine.

Inspection and Maintenance Schedule

The Complete Inspection consists of periodic visual and operational checks, along with periodic minor adjustments that assure proper performance. Daily inspection will prevent abnormal wear and prolong the life of all systems. The inspection and maintenance schedule should be performed at the specified intervals and after prolonged periods of storage before returning the machine to service. Inspection and maintenance shall be performed by personnel who are trained and familiar with mechanical and electrical procedures.

AWarning

Before performing preventative maintenance, familiarize yourself with the operation of the machine. Always block the elevating assembly whenever it is necessary to perform maintenance while the platform is elevated.

The daily preventative maintenance checklist has been designed for machine service and maintenance. Please photocopy the Daily Preventative Maintenance Checklist and use the checklist when inspecting the machine.
