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 (

For each outrigger, there is an outrigger switch and an outrigger indicator light (refer to Figure 3, Page 4).
Each outrigger switch will raise and lower one outrigger.
Each outrigger indicator light will indicate the position of one outrigger.

• When the indicator light is FLASHING - the outrigger is partially extended.
• When the indicator light is ON - the outrigger is in firm contact with the supporting surface.

EVEL THE PLATFORM
1. Make sure that the extension deck is retracted before operating the
outriggers.
2. Look around the machine; make sure that there is nothing obstructing the outriggers, and that the surface beneath them is suitable to
support the weight of the machine.
3. Position the Lift/Outrigger/Drive switch set to OUTRIGGER.
4. Depress the interlock lever switch on the control lever, and operate
the outrigger switches to extend each outrigger until it is making firm
contact with the supporting surface.
• Pushing the control lever forward will increase the speed of the
extending outriggers.
5. While observing the bubble level on the guardrail, extend the outrigger opposite the position of the bubble until the platform is level. For example: if the bubble is to the front and left in the orbit, extend the
rear right outrigger. Continue to adjust until the bubble is centered in the small circle indicating that the
platform is level.
6. Confirm that all four (4) outriggers are in firm contact with the supporting surface. The outriggers are in

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled
fluid with clean water.
Always replace batteries with UpRight batteries or manufacturer
approved replacements.
Check battery fluid level daily, especially if the work platform is
being used in a warm, dry climate.
If the electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (
add distilled water ONLY. Do not use tap water with high mineral
content; it will shorten battery life.
The battery and cables should be inspected regularly for signs of cracks in the case, electrolyte leakage
and corrosion of the terminals. Inspect the cables for worn spots or breaks in the insulation and for broken
cable terminals.
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and for complete service instructions.
Wash hands after handling.

AINTENANCE
The complete inspection consists of periodic visual and operational checks, along with periodic minor
adjustments to assure proper performance. Daily inspection will prevent abnormal wear and prolong the
life of all systems. The inspection and maintenance schedule is to be performed at regular intervals.
Inspection and maintenance shall be performed by personnel who are trained and familiar with mechanical
and electrical procedures.
Before performing preventative maintenance, familiarize yourself with the operation of the machine.
Always block the elevating assembly whenever it is necessary to enter the scissor assembly to perform
maintenance while the platform is elevated.
The preventative maintenance table has been designed for machine service and maintenance repair.
Please photocopy the Daily Preventative Maintenance Check List and use the table as a checklist when
inspecting the machine for service.
