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 Pop-Up+ is to operate is capable of
supporting the weight of the machine (including the weight of the operator plus
tools and materials). Be aware of floors or coverings (e.g. manhole covers) that
may not withstand point loadings exerted by the castor wheels.
and legs are fully deployed before the work platform can be raised. It is essential
that each of the four stabiliser feet are located on firm, solid ground. The Pop-Up+
auto brake kit enables the removal of stabilisers for use in 0m/sec wind conditions.
2. Ground flatness
The Pop-Up+ 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.
Noise and vibration
Noise levels emitted from this machine do not exceed 70 dB(A). Hand and
arm vibration experienced on this machine does not exceed 0.5 m/s

.
Limitations
The Pop-Up+ is limited to operation indoors. The machine must not be used
outdoors. Please consult the manufacturer if you are unsure of any application
for which the machine is to be used.
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
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 and Maintenance Handbook (
0120723
In indoor exposed areas with wind speeds up to 12.5m/sec the Pop-Up+ can be
used with a stabiliser pack. An interlock system ensures that the stabiliser beams
3. Obstructions
When manoeuvring, raising and lowering, ensure that there are no obstructions
or persons that may be struck by the platform.

Safety Rules
NEVER Exceed the rated capacity (Safe Working Load or SWL) of the platform (240kgs).
NEVER Use the Pop-Up+ 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 Manoeuvre the Pop-Up+ on an inclined surface otherwise it may become uncontrollable.
NEVER Manoeuvre the Pop-Up+ whilst in its elevated position, as this may cause instability.
NEVER Manoeuvre the Pop-Up+ 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
NEVER Operate the
NEVER Attempt to overreach.
NEVER Interfere with, wedge or attempt to override hydraulic, electrical or mechanical safety devices.
Pop-Up+ outdoors.
ALWAYS Undertake the daily checks recommended
ALWAYS Check that there are no obstructions or persons that may be struck by the platform before
and during the raising and lowering of the platform.
ALWAYS Ensure that the access gate is closed once the operator has entered the work platform.
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 Pop-Up+ 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 the manual rear brakes have been engaged before elevating the work platform.
ALWAYS Ensure that auto front brakes are functioning correctly before attempting to use the machine.
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 and 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
the area to prevent persons entering the danger area).
ALWAYS Ensure hands are kept within the confines of the guard rails whilst elevating the work platform.
