NOTE:
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, labels, and operating instructions; then perform the
following steps each day before use.
Perform a complete visual inspection of the entire unit prior to operating. Check the following areas for discrepancies:
1. Open the covers and check hydraulic components and hoses for damage or leaks.
2. Check electrical components and wiring for damage or loose connections.
3. Inspect the chassis, axles, hubs, and steering linkage for damage, deformation, buckled paint, loose or
missing hardware, and cracked welds.
4. Air-filled tires: check for damage, punctures, and inflation; tire pressure must be 5.5 bar (
5. Check all hoses and cables for wear.
6. Inspect the elevating assembly for damage, deformation, buckled paint, loose or missing hardware, and
cracked welds.
7. Inspect the platform and guardrails for damage, deformation, buckled paint, loose or missing hardware,
and cracked welds. Ensure that the gate operates freely and latches securely.
8. Check the hydraulic fluid level with the platform fully lowered.
9. Check the battery fluid level.
10. Check the fuel level; add fuel if necessary.

NOTE:
When using propane, use clean, water free liquid petroleum gas, preferably from a bulk storage tank.
!
WARNING
If you smell propane, close the supply valve on the tanks immediately until you have located and
corrected the leak.
12. Ensure that the radiator is cold; check coolant level. Add if necessary.
!
WARNING
NEVER remove the cap from a hot radiator. Hot coolant can cause severe burns.
13. Retract the locking pins.
• The locking pins prevent turret rotation during transport and loading or
unloading from a truck or trailer. There are two pins; one on each side,
at the base of the turret, at the front of the machine.
a. Lift the locking pin with the pin stop rod.
b. insert the snap pin into the bottom hole.

1. Move the machine to a firm level surface with room to fully elevate and extend the platform.
2. Before performing the following tests, check the area around the machine and overhead for obstructions, holes, drop-offs, and debris.
3. Ensure that the locking pins are retracted (refer to Figure 4 on page 5).

CAUTION
Attempting to rotate the turret with locking pins engaged may cause damage to the machine.
4. Turn the chassis key switch to the left (CHASSIS).

Stop button to the ON position, and start the engine.
8. Push in the Platform Emergency Stop button; the engine should stop. Return the Platform Emergency
Stop button to the ON position, and start the engine.
9. Make sure that the Function Speed Control (on the platform controls) is not at zero.
• Operate each function switch on the lower control panel to raise/lower, extend/retract, rotate left/right,
each section of the elevating assembly, and observe the operation of the machine.
• All functions should operate through full cycle smoothly.
10. Stop the engine.
11. Turn chassis key switch to the right (PLATFORM).
12. Mount the platform, lower the bar, and attach an approved fall restraint to the designated platform
anchorage point. Attach only one fall restraint to each point.
13. Start the engine.
14. Without depressing the foot switch, move the Drive Control handle; the machine should not function.
15. Depress the foot switch and move the Drive Control handle forward and reverse. Observe that the proportional functions operate smoothly, and that the brakes apply quickly after the control is released.
16. While depressing the foot switch, operate the steer switch to left and right. Observe that the steering
wheels turn properly.
17. While depressing the foot switch, turn the Function Speed Control knob to the desired setting, and
operate the boom controls.
• Observe that the boom operates smoothly, and that the upper boom, jib, turret rotation, platform level,
riser, and boom extend operate proportionally in conjunction with the Function Speed Control knob.
• Observe that the platform maintains level when the boom is elevated.
