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.

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 control selector switch must be turned back to off before the engine will start.
5. Let the engine warm to operating temperature.
6. Turn the boom speed knob to slow.
7. Hold the ground operation switch in the on position while operating the boom and turntable control toggle switches.
8. Hold the appropriate toggle switch in the desired direction.
9. Gradually turn the boom speed knob to control the main boom raise/lower and turntable rotation speed.
10. Release the function toggle switch to stop move­ment.
11. Place the ground operation switch in the off position when no functions are being operated.

Upper Controls

The upper controls may be used for driving the aerial platform and positioning the booms and platform while on the job.
Use the following procedure to operate machine functions using the upper controls.
1. At the lower controls, pull the emergency stop button outward. Insert the key in the control selector and turn the switch to the upper control position.

Lower Controls

The lower controls override the upper controls. This means that the lower controls can always be used to operate the platform regardless of the position of the upper control emergency stop button.
Boom, turntable, and platform functions may be operated from the lower controls. The lower controls may be used for initial set up of the aerial platform, and for testing and inspection.
Use the following procedure to operate boom, turntable, or platform functions using the lower controls (ref: Figure 3 on page 6).
1. On dual fuel machines, set the fuel switch to either LPG or gasoline.
2. Open the shut-off valve on the tank if using LPG.

4. Enter the platform and securely close the gate.
5. Attach the fall restraint lanyard to one of the anchor points.
6. Pull the emergency stop outward.
7. Turn the anti-restart master switch to on and pause a few seconds while the alarm sounds to alert others that the machine is about to start. Turn the switch to start, then release it to on. The engine will not start if the switch is left in the on position for 30 seconds or longer before turning it to start. The switch must be turned back to off before the engine will start.
Page 13
Operation
8. Let the engine warm to operating temperature.

Boom Operation

Use the following procedure to operate the turntable, boom, or platform functions.
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.
SB85J Fixed Axle – 0112998 11
Four Wheel Coordinated
• Front wheels turn
in steer direction
• Rear wheels turn
in the opposite direction
Two Wheel
• Front wheels turn in steer direction
• Rear wheels do not turn
• Front and rear wheels turn in steer direction
Figure 6 – Steer Modes
Use two wheel steer for most machine operation
such as travel between jobs and to position the machine near the job location.
Crab
Page 14
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.

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.
