OPERATOR‟S, SAFETY & MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK
Operating site
Select a site for the machine from which
the platform will be able to reach the
required work area. A visual inspection of
the operating site should be made before
setting up the machine. Particular attention
should be given to the following items
1. Ground conditions
Ensure that the ground on which the
machine is to operate is capable of
supporting the weight of the machine
(including the weight of the operator plus
tools & materials). Be aware of floors or
coverings (e.g. manhole covers) that may
not withstand point loadings exerted by the
castor wheels.
The PAX 8 machine is fitted with four
stabilizers to improve machine stability.
Ensure that the stabilizer beams and legs
are fully deployed before the work platform
raise. It is essential that each of the four
stabilizer feet are located on firm, solid
ground. Failure to ensure this may result in
machine instability.
Noise and vibration
Noise levels emitted from this machine do
not exceed 70 dB(A).
Limitations
This machine is intended for use
INDOORS ONLY, and must not be used
outdoors as wind forces may make it
unstable.
This machine has been tested for
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
however, operation near to high powered
radio transmission apparatus (e.g. radar,
antennae) or within strong electrical and/or
magnetic fields may affect some features
of this product.
WARNING
THIS MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN
DESIGNED FOR OPERATION WITHIN
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE
ATMOSPHERES
WARNING
2. Ground flatness
This machine must only be operated on flat
(0º chassis inclination) and level surfaces.
The allowable chassis inclination is
indicated when the spirit level bubble is
within the marked limits. All castor wheels
must be in full contact with the ground.
3. Overhead obstructions
Ensure that adequate clearance is
available above and around the platform
before elevation.
THIS MACHINE IS NOT
ELECTRICALLY INSULATED AND
MUST NEVER BE USED FOR LIVE
LINE WORKING. DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT
FROM CONTACT WITH, OR
INADEQUATE CLEARANCE FROM,
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS

OPERATOR‟S, SAFETY & MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK
Section 3
SAFETY RULES
NEVER exceed the rated capacity (Safe
Working Load or SWL) of the platform.
NEVER use this machine as a „crane‟ (e.g.
by suspending loads from beneath the
platform).
NEVER make any attempt to increase the
working height or outreach of the platform
(e.g. by use of stepladders in the platform).
NEVER maneuver this machine on an
inclined surface otherwise it may become
uncontrollable.
NEVER maneuver this machine whilst in its
elevated position, as this may cause
instability.
ALWAYS undertake the daily checks
recommended in this handbook prior to
operation of the machine.
ALWAYS ensure that all instructions,
warning and Safe Working Load decals are
clean and legible.
ALWAYS ensure the machine is positioned
on adequate ground to support the weight
of the machine.
ALWAYS ensure that sufficient clearance
is given if working near to live conductors.
ALWAYS ensure that castor brakes have
been engaged before elevating the work
platform.
NEVER maneuver this machine with a
person or materials in the platform.
NEVER enter or exit the platform unless
the platform is in the lowered and transport
position.
NEVER apply external side loads to the
platform or scissor structure.
NEVER allow persons at ground level to
operate the controls whilst the platform is
occupied (unless in an emergency
situation).
NEVER operate this machine outdoor, it
has not been designed to withstand wind
loading.
ALWAYS ensure that the platform does not
come into contact with fixed objects (e.g.
buildings, etc.) or moving objects (e.g.
vehicles, other plant equipment, etc.).
ALWAYS replace any removable guard
rails (e.g. close & lock access gate) to
enable full edge protection to be
maintained.
ALWAYS ensure that the load is evenly
distributed within the platform.
ALWAYS ensure the safety of persons that
may enter the area around the platform
(e.g. cordon off areas to prevent persons
entering the danger area).
ALWAYS ensure hands are within the
confines of the guardrails whilst elevating
the work platform.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The DAILY CHECKS page in Section 7 of
this handbook may be photocopied to
provide an aide memoir for operators when
undertaking these important checks.
Daily checks
Prior to operating the machine, the
following items must be checked
• Structure (e.g. damage, cracks,
corrosion, abrasion, welds, connections)
• Platform (floor, rails)
• Castors (smooth movement, damage)
• Brakes
• Hydraulic oil
• Limited switch
• Oil leaks
• Battery condition
• Raise and lower functions
WARNING
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
MACHINE, YOU MUST ENSURE
THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
ADEQUATELY TRAINED IN ITS USE
AND HAVE FULLY READ AND
UNDERSTOOD THIS OPERATOR’S
HANDBOOK, PAYING PARTICULAR
ATTENTION TO SECTION 3 ‐ SAFETY
RULES.
• Emergency stop and lowering functions
• Safety decals
• Stabilizers (if equipped)
The raise and lower functions can be
tested by removing the upper control box
from its holder in the work platform and
using the controls whilst at ground level.
NOTE – unless in an emergency situation,
this practice must not be employed when a
person is in the work platform.
If the above pre‐use checks reveal
malfunctions or damage on the machine,
then the machine must not be used until
the problem is rectified. If in doubt, seek
further assistance from the manufacturer.
If safety decals are no longer legible or
missing then contact the manufacturer for
replacements.
