Special Limitations
Special Limitations
Travel with the platform raised is limited to creep speed
range. Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level
surfaces only.
ADanger
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 driven over
uneven, rough, or soft terrain.
Platform Capacity
Two people and tools may occupy the platform. The maximum platform capacity for the aerial platform is stated in
the “Specifications” on page 21.
ADanger
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.
The maximum allowable manual force is limited to 200N
(45 lbs) of force per occupant, with a maximum of 400 N
(90 lbs) for two occupants.
The system will remain in error mode until the excess
load is removed from the platform and the emergency
stop button or start switch is cycled off and back on,
resetting the system. At that time, the machine functions
are operational.
ACaution
The emergency power system is for emergency lowering and stowing only. The length of time the pump
can be operated depends on the capacity of the battery. Do not use this system for normal operation.
If the platform overload sensing system is tripped while
operating the machine or if the system is in error mode
and can not be reset, the emergency power system may
still be used for emergency machine operation from either
the lower or upper controls.
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated
on the platform rating placard.
The overload sensing system is not active when the
machine is being driven with the booms in the stowed
position. This allows the machine to be driven without
the system sensing an overload due to rough ground
conditions.
ADanger
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual
force for this machine.
Platform Overload Sensing System
All functions are stopped from the upper and lower controls, when the platform overload limit is exceeded. The
horn will sound intermittently and the platform overload
light will blink until the excess load is removed from the
platform. At that time, the machine functions are again
operational.
If the platform becomes significantly overloaded, or if an
upward force on the platform exceeds approximately 2225
N (500 lb), the system will enter into error mode, stopping
all functions from the upper and lower controls. The horn
will then sound constantly and the overload light will stay
illuminated at the upper and lower controls.

Operation
Operation
The aerial platform may be operated from either the lower
or upper controls.
ADanger
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death
or serious injury will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach
distance as defined by national safety regulations.
Pinch points may exist between moving components.
Death or serious injury will result from becoming
trapped between components, buildings, structures
or other obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient clearance around the machine before moving the chassis,
booms, or platform. Allow sufficient room and time
to stop movement to avoid contact with structures
or other hazards.
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Operate the aerial platform on a firm, flat, level
surface. Avoid travel speeds and/or rough terrain that
could cause sudden changes in platform position. Do
not drive or position the aerial platform for elevated
use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft or uneven
ground, or other tip-over hazard.
Engine Cold Weather Start Kit
The optional engine cold weather start kit may be an
engine block heater, manifold air pre-heater, or a radiator hose in-line heater. The type of starting assist system
depends on the engine manufacturer.
The last two letters of the model number stamped on the
serial number placard indicates the engine manufacturer
(refer to Figure 5). The serial number placard is mounted
on the front of the turntable.

Start System
ether injection
The platform rated work load is the total weight of the personnel and equipment that may be lifted in the platform.
The work loads are stated on the platform rating placard
mounted at the rear of the platform.
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated
on the platform rating placard.
Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity and do
not indicate aerial platform stability.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring
that the aerial platform is properly set up for the particular
conditions encountered.
Cold Weather Start-Up
If the ambient temperature is 0°C (32°F) or below, the
engine and hydraulic system oil may need to be warmed
before operation. Do not operate the engine at more than
a fast idle until the engine and hydraulic oil has had a
chance to warm. The engine may be equipped with an
optional cold weather start kit.
Cold, thick hydraulic oil does not flow well and may cause
delay in response to control movement and improper voltage output of the AC generator. Cold oil may also cause
cavitation and pump damage. The hydraulic system may
be equipped with an optional cold weather warm-up kit.
Cummins — Ether Injection
Some Cummins engines may have an either injection
system instead of a block heater. Either injection should
only be used to start a cold engine when the ambient
temperature is below 0°C (32°F).
Make sure there is a can of ether installed in the holder, in
the engine compartment on the right side of the machine.
Use the following procedure to install a can of ether as
necessary:
1. Place the battery disconnect switch in the off position.
2. Unscrew the holding cup.
3. Place a new can of ether in the cup.
4. Screw the holding cup firmly into position.
5. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position.
Activate the toggle switch while the start switch is in the
start position to inject a measured amount of ether into
the intake manifold.
Note
Do not crank the engine longer than 20 seconds. If the
engine does not start wait for two minutes before trying
to start the engine again.

Operation
GM — Radiator Hose In-Line
Plug the heater cord into a 125 Volt AC, 600 watt source
eight hours before starting the engine. The heater will
warm the water in the lower radiator hose to make cold
weather starting easier.
Unplug the power cord before starting the engine.
Hydraulic System Cold Weather Warm-Up
The hydraulic oil may be warmed by bottoming out the
boom extension cylinder. Raise the main boom so it is
horizontal and operate the boom retract function while the
machine is stowed. With the cylinder bottomed out the oil
flow will produce heat to warm the hydraulic oil.
ACaution
Not all hydraulic fluid is suitable to use in the hydraulic system. Some have poor lubricating characteristics and can increase component wear. Only use
hydraulic fluid as recommended.
Use cold weather hydraulic oil as recommended in the
machine General Specifications in temperatures of
-12°C (10°F) or below.
Preparing for Operation
Use the following procedure to prepare the aerial platform
for operation.
1. Perform a prestart inspection as described in the “Daily
Preventative Maintenance Checklist” on page 17.
2. Place the battery disconnect switch in the on position.
3. Close and latch the doors.
4. Before painting or sandblasting make sure the sandblast protection kit and the platform control cover are
properly installed. These options, when used properly
will protect the control placards and cylinder rods from
paint overspray and abrasion while sandblasting.
3. Pull the emergency stop button outward. Insert the
key in the control selector and turn the switch to the
lower control position.
4. Press the start button until the engine starts, then
release. The engine will not start if the control selector switch is left in the lower control position for 30
seconds or longer before starting the engine. The

1. Step down on the platform foot switch. This switch
must be held down to operate the upper controls.
2. Hold the appropriate control in the desired direction.
Always look in the direction of movement.
3. Releasing the control to its neutral position, or releasing the foot switch will stop movement.
Driving and Steering
ADanger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over accident. Do not drive an elevated aerial platform on
soft, uneven, or sloping surfaces. Do not drive the
machine on grades that exceed 30 percent.
For operation on grades up to 30 percent, it is recommended that the main boom be near horizontal and the
jib elevated just enough to provide adequate ground
clearance. A 30 percent grade is a 0.91 m (36″) vertical
rise in 3.05 m (10′) horizontal length.
Avoid driving with the platform over the front (steer) end
of the chassis. In this position the machine is difficult to
control because:
drive and steer control movements and their resulting
•
machine movements are reversed.
when driving fast, sudden turns or stops produce more
•
severe reactions to platform occupants.
more turning space is required to prevent the platform
•
from colliding with obstacles several feet beyond the
path of the tires.
When the turntable is rotated from the stowed position,
with the booms to either side of or in front of the chassis,
the direction of control movement does not correspond
with the direction of chassis movement.
To avoid confusion, always drive to the work area or
move between work areas with the turntable and booms
in the stowed position. After arriving at the work area, the
booms may be positioned to the side or the front of the
chassis for final positioning. Always look in the direction
of movement as indicated by the directional arrows on
the chassis.
Use the following procedure to operate the drive and
steer functions:
1. Determine the desired drive range for the specific
driving conditions. Place the switch in the appro-
priate position to achieve the desired drive wheel
operation.
Use high range (two wheel drive) when traveling
•
across rm, at, level surfaces. High range can only
be activated when the booms are stowed. High
range is for high speed, low torque operation.
Use mid range (four wheel drive) when traveling
•
across soft surfaces or those with small inclines.
Mid range can only be activated when the booms
are stowed. Mid range is for medium speed, high
torque operation.
Use low range (four wheel drive) for driving on load-
•
ing ramps or other steep grades and when safety
considerations demand slow deliberate machine
movement. Low range is for low speed, high torque
operation.
2. Determine the desired steer mode for the specific
driving conditions. Place the switch in the four wheel
coordinated, two wheel, or crab steer mode position
to achieve the desired machine movement.
AWarning
Steer Modes
Death or serious injury can result from improperly
driving or steering the aerial platform. Read and understand the information in this manual and on the
placards and decals on the machine before operating
the aerial platform on the job.
The blue and yellow arrows on the chassis indicate the
direction the chassis will move when the drive or steer
control is moved toward the corresponding color.
When the machine is in the stowed position, with the
booms centered between the rear wheels, the direction
of drive and steer control movement corresponds with
the direction of chassis movement.

Operation
•
Use four wheel coordinated steer when a tight turning radius is desired for positioning the machine.
•
Use crab steer to travel in a diagonal motion in the
direction of the wheels.
Note
The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the steering wheels straight ahead after completing a turn and
before switching from one steer mode to another.
3. Place the drive/boom selector switch in the drive
position.
4. Step down on the platform foot switch.
5. Push the drive joystick forward to move the chassis forward, the direction of the blue arrow. Pull the
joystick backward to move the chassis backward,
the direction of the yellow arrow. The drive speed is
proportional to the joystick position.
6. To stop drive motion, return the joystick to neutral.
7. Push the drive joystick to the right to steer to the right,
the direction of the yellow arrow. Push the joystick
to the left to steer to the left, the direction of the blue
arrow.
Note
The steering wheels are not self-centering. Set the steering wheels straight ahead after completing a turn.
8. After driving to the desired location, release the foot
switch, or push the emergency stop button to apply
the parking brakes.
Drive Speeds
The drive speed is proportional to the joystick position.
The farther the joystick is moved, the faster the travel
speed.
Always slow down and shift the drive system to low
range before traveling over rough terrain or any sloped
surface.
Drive speed ranges are interlocked through a limit switch
that senses the main boom position. When the boom is
elevated, only the slowest drive speed will work regardless of the drive range switch position.
Motion Warning Alarm
The optional motion warning alarm sounds loud intermittent beeps when the drive joystick is in the forward or
reverse position.
AC Generator
The optional generator supplies power to the electrical
outlet only when the engine is running and the machine
is stationary. The machine functions will not operate when
the machine/generator selector switch is in the generator
position.
ACaution
Cold hydraulic oil does not flow well and may produce
improper generator output voltage. Improper outlet
voltage can damage some electrical power tools and
equipment. Warm the hydraulic oil before operating
the generator.
Do not operate the generator unless the hydraulic oil temperature is at least 38°C (100°F). Refer to Cold Weather
Start-Up for a hydraulic oil warm-up procedure.
Start the engine and place the machine/generator selector switch in the generator position (ref: upper controls
illustration on page 6).
The engine will run at high idle while the generator is
operating. The generator will continue to operate as long
as the engine is running and the switch is in the generator position.
Dual Fuel
The dual fuel switch is located on the front of the lower
control panel.
Before starting the engine, place the fuel switch in the
gasoline or the LPG position. Open the shut-off valve on
the LPG gas tank if using LPG. Always keep the LPG tank
shut-off valve closed when not using LPG.
To switch from gasoline to LPG with the engine running:
1. Open the shut-off valve on the LPG tank.
2. Place the fuel switch in the LPG position.
To switch from LPG to gasoline with the engine running:
1. Place the fuel switch in the gasoline position.
2. Close the shut-off valve on the LPG tank.
AWarning
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious
injury can result from such accidents. Do not alter,
disable or override any safety device.
Do not use the aerial platform if it drives faster than 1.0
km/h (0.6 miles per hour) [7.9 m (26 feet) in 30 seconds]
when the booms are elevated from the stowed position.

Air Line
The optional air line may be used to conduct air for tool
operation at the platform. The input connector is at the
rear of the chassis and the output connector is at the
platform on the rotator guard. The maximum working
pressure of the line is 1,723 kPa (250 psi).
Page 15
Operation
The air line may be used to conduct fluids such as water
or antifreeze. Contact your local distriburor or UpRight
for compatibility information before using the air line to
conduct other fluids.
ACaution
Fluid in the air line can damage some air tools or
freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the
air line after using it to conduct fluids.
Use the following procedure to drain the air line.
1. Close the input connector on the chassis.
2. Open the output connector at the platform.
3. Raise the boom slightly above horizontal.
4. Open the input connector on the chassis.
5. Allow the fluid to drain from the line.
6. Lower the boom and close both connections.
Driving Lights
The optional driving lights are for use in dimly lit areas
and are not intended for driving on public roadways.
There are two headlights at the front of the chassis and
two blinking taillights at the rear of the chassis. The lights
are operational when the battery disconnect switch and
the master switch are turned on.
Note
Working with the driving or platform work lights on, while
the engine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that
the engine will not start or the emergency power system
will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while
the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15
minutes each hour.
Ask a person on the ground to open the Emergency Lowering Valve to lower the platform. The Emergency Lowering Valve is located on the base of the lift cylinder.
1. Slowly turn the knob to open the bleed down valve.
Control the rate of descent by turning the knob.
2. To close, turn the knob.
NOTE: The platform will not elevate if the Emergency
Lowering Valve is open.
Figure 7 – Emergency Lowering Valve
After Use Each Day
1. Ensure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Park the machine on a firm level surface, preferably
under cover, secure against vandals, children and
unauthorized operation.
3. Turn the Chassis Key Switch to OFF and remove the
key to prevent unauthorized operation.
Platform Work Lights
The optional platform work lights are located on the top
rail of the platform. The direction a light points can be
adjusted by using two 1/2″ wrenches to loosen the clamp
below the light.
The lights are operational when the upper controls emergency stop button is pulled up and the anti-restart master
switch is turned on. The engine speed increases to high
idle when the platform work lights are turned on.
Emergency Lowering
AWarning
If the platform should fail to lower, NEVER climb down
the elevating assembly.
Stand clear of the elevating assembly while operating
the Emergency Lowering Valve Knob.

Transporting the Machine
Preparing for Transportation
Use the following procedure to prepare the aerial platform
for transportation.
1. Remove any unnecessary tools, materials, or other
loose objects from the platform.
2. Close and latch all cowling doors.
By Crane
Secure the straps to chassis lifting/lugs only.
Know the approximate location of the center of gravity
before lifting the machine off the ground. Refer to Figure
8.
ADanger
Lifting by Crane is for transport purposes only.
See Specifications for weight of machine and be
certain that the crane is of adequate capacity to lift
the machine.
By Truck
1. Maneuver the machine into transport position and
chock wheels.
2. Place a wood block under the tip end of the jib foot.
Lower the platform so the foot rests on the wood
block.
ACaution
Ratchets, winches, and come-alongs can produce
enough force to damage machine components. Do
not over tighten the straps or chains when securing
the aerial platform to the transport vehicle.
3. Use a nylon strap to securely fasten the platform
against the wood block. Thread the strap over the
toeboard. Refer to Figure 9.
Figure 9 – Platform
4. Secure the machine to the transport vehicle with
chains or straps of adequate load capacity attached
to the chassis lifting/tie down points.

Maintenance
Maintenance
AWarning
Never perform service while the platform is elevated.
Hydraulic Fluid
The hydraulic fluid reservoir is located in the chassis door.
Refer to Figure 10.
Figure 10 – Hydraulic Fluid Reservoir
Battery Maintenance
AWarning
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame,
and smoking material away from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working near batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse
away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Always replace batteries with Snorkel batteries or
manufacturer approved replacements weighing 26,3
kg (58 lbs) each.
Check the battery uid level daily, especially if the
•
machine is being used in a warm, dry climate.
If electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8″) above the
plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use tap water with
high mineral content, as it will shorten battery life.
Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
•
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and
•
for complete service instructions.
Note
Never add fluid if the platform is elevated.
Check Hydraulic Fluid
1. Make sure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Open the left front cowling door.
3. Check the fluid level on the gauge on the end of the
reservoir.
4. Add the appropriate fluid to bring the level to the FULL
mark. See “Specifications” on page 21.
Engine
Open the engine compartment doors on both sides of the
machine and visually inspect the engine and its components with the engine off.
Oil Level
Check the engine oil level before starting the engine
so the oil has drained to the pan. The proper oil level is
between the add and full marks on the dipstick.
The distance between the top and bottom dipstick marks
corresponds to about 1 l (1 quart US). Add oil, if necessary, before starting the engine.
