NOTE:
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions, labels and the Scaffold Industry
Association’s MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES. Perform the following steps each day before use.
1. Open modules and inspect for damage, oil leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the hydraulic oil level sight gauge on the hydraulic tank with the platform fully lowered. Add fluid if
necessary.
3. Check that fluid level in the battery is correct (see “Battery Maintenance” on page 15).
4. Check the engine oil level and fuel level.
5. Check that all guardrails are in place, the slide-out deck extension is secured with the pin, and all fasteners are properly tightened.
6. Check tire pressure: LX31 and LX41 - 3,4 bar (
7. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for damage such as cracked welds in structural members,
loose or missing parts, oil leaks, damaged cables or hoses, loose connections and tire damage.
8. Carefully inspect the limit switches for signs of tampering.
9. Dual Fuel Models: set the dual fuel selector to the desired position. Set to the center position to purge
the system when switching fuels. If the machine is to be operated on propane, open the supply valve on

NOTE:
When using LP gas, use clean, water-free liquid petroleum gas, preferably from a bulk storage tank. Follow the
instructions located on the power module tray for filling the tank.
If you smell propane, close the supply valve on the tank immediately until you have located and
corrected the leak.
10. While the engine is cool, check the engine coolant level.
DO NOT check coolant when engine or radiator is hot; hot coolant can cause severe burns.

NOTE:
If the engine is cold:
- on dual fuel models, hold the choke button in while starting the engine;
- on diesel models, depress the glow plug button and hold for 6 seconds to heat the glow plugs.
6. Position the Lift/Drive switch to the DRIVE position. The drive enable light should be ON.
7. With the speed range switch first in HIGH TORQUE and then in HIGH SPEED, depress the interlock
lever switch and slowly push the control lever to FORWARD then REVERSE positions to check for
speed and directional control. The farther you push or pull the control lever, the faster the machine will
travel.
8. Push steering switch RIGHT then LEFT to check for steering control.
9. Optional Outrigger Equipped Machines:
a. With the Lift/Outrigger/Drive switch in DRIVE, depress the interlock lever switch on the control lever
and position each Outrigger switch to the EXTEND position.
• Outriggers should be disabled. If an outrigger extends during this test
machine from service until it is repaired.
b. Turn the Drive/Outrigger/Lift switch to OUTRIGGER.
c. Depress the interlock lever switch on the control lever and position each Outrigger switch to the
EXTEND position to deploy all four (4) outriggers.
• Check the outrigger indicator lights; they should be ON.
NOTE:
When the platform is elevated 1 m (3 ft.) or higher the outrigger function should be disabled.
d. Depress the interlock lever switch on the control lever and position each Outrigger switch to the
RETRACT position.
• Partially retract all four (4) outriggers. The outrigger indicator lights should FLASH.
• Fully retract all four (4) outriggers. The outrigger indicator lights should be OFF.
10. Rehook the controller on the front guardrail.
11. Open the Control Module covers to gain access to the chassis controls and tilt sensor.
12. Turn the Platform/Chassis switch to CHASSIS.
13. Push the throttle button in. Push the Raise button to elevate platform while pushing the tilt sensor off of
level. The platform should only partially elevate and the tilt alarm should sound. If the platform continues to elevate and/or there is no alarm,
14. Release the tilt sensor and fully elevate the platform.
15. Visually inspect the elevating assembly, lift cylinder, cables and hoses for damage or erratic operation.
Check for missing or loose parts.
16. Lower the platform partially by pushing in on the Lower button, and check operation of the audible lowering alarm.
17. Open the chassis emergency lowering valve to check for proper operation by pulling and holding the
knob out (refer to “Emergency Lowering” on page 9). Once the platform is fully lowered, close the valve
by releasing the knob.
18. Turn the Platform/Chassis switch to PLATFORM.
19. Close and secure the module covers.
20. Enter the platform making sure the gate is latched.
21. Position the Lift/Drive switch to LIFT.
22. Depress the interlock lever switch and slowly push the control lever to UP to raise the platform; fully
actuate the control lever to check proportional lift speed. Slowly pull the control lever to the DOWN position to lower the platform. Check that the lowering alarm sounds.
23. Optional Outrigger Equipped Machines:
a. With the Lift/Outrigger/Drive switch in LIFT, depress the interlock lever switch on the control lever and
position any outrigger switch to the EXTEND position.
• Outriggers should be disabled. If an outrigger extends during this test,
and remove the machine from service until it is repaired.
