Special Limitations

Special Limitations

Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level surfaces
only.

Danger

The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the
work platform is level and on a firm surface.

The work platform is NOT intended to be pushed over
uneven, rough, or soft terrain.

Platform Capacity

One person and tools may occupy the platform when the
machine is indoors only. The maximum platform capacity
for the aerial platform is stated in the “Specifications” on
pages 16 to 18.

Danger

DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or
the platform occupancy limits for this machine.

Manual Force

Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to
objects such as walls or other structures outside the
work platform.

In zero wind conditions the maximum allowable manual
force is limited to 200 N.

Lift Level Sensor Interlock

The aerial platform lift function is interlocked through a
level sensor system.

If the chassis is tilted more than 2 degrees side-to-side or
front-to-rear, an alarm will sound when the power is turned
on and the lift function will not operate. When the alarm
sounds, only the platform lower function will operate.

Position the machine on a level surface when the lift level
sensor alarm sounds. When the machine is properly po­sitioned on a level surface, the alarm will not sound and
all functions will be operational.

The lift level sensor system is for added protection and
does not justify operating on anything other than firm,
flat, level surfaces.

Lowering Alarm

When a platform control button is pressed to lower the
platform, the alarm emits a loud beeping sound to warn
personnel in the work area to stand clear.

Danger

Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death
or serious injury will result if the scissors structure
lowers onto personnel within the scissors arms or
under the raised platform. Stand clear while raising
and lowering the platform.

Danger

DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual
force for this machine.

Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep hands and
fingers away from the scissors structures components.

The aerial platform will not operate while the battery
charger is plugged in.

7. Visually inspect the battery charge indicator for proper
charging rate. The LED’s are visible on the left side of
the lower controls. Refer to Figure 7 for the function
of each LED. The battery should be fully charged
when the 95% LED is on.

Note
If the charging cycle exceeds 16 hours without the battery
being fully recharged, unplug the charger and have the
battery checked.

9. After the battery charger turns itself off, it is not nec­essary to immediately unplug the extension cord
from the battery charger. The charger will monitor
the charge state of the battery and recharge them if
the voltage drops off.

10. Slide the component tray open to access the battery.
Remove the caps from the battery.

11. Visually check the battery fluid level making sure the
level is within 6 mm (¼″) of the bottom of the filler neck
inside each hole. If needed, add distilled water.

12. Tightly replace the caps on the battery and close and
latch the component tray.

Inspection and Maintenance Schedule

Caution

Frequency and extent of periodic examinations may
depend on national regulations.

The Complete Inspection consists of periodic visual and
operational checks, along with periodic minor adjustments
that assure proper performance. Daily inspection will pre­vent abnormal wear and prolong the life of all systems.
The inspection and maintenance schedule should be
performed at the specified intervals and after prolonged
periods of storage before returning the machine to ser­vice. Inspection and maintenance shall be performed by
personnel who are trained and familiar with mechanical
and electrical procedures.

Warning

Before performing preventative maintenance, famil­iarize yourself with the operation of the machine.
Always block the scissors structure whenever it is
necessary to perform maintenance while the platform
is elevated.

The daily preventative maintenance checklist has been
designed for machine service and maintenance. Please
photocopy the Daily Preventative Maintenance Checklist
and use the checklist when inspecting the machine.
