SAFETY RULES

Safety Rules and Operating Instructions

NEVER elevate
platform unless all
four (4) outriggers
have been properly
installed. All wheels
or screwjacks must be
in solid contact with a
firm surface before the
platform is elevated.

NEVER operate the machine
within ten feet of power lines.

THIS MACHINE IS NOT
INSULATED.

MACHINE must be driven only on smooth level floor surface.
NEVER use ladders, planks or other devices to increase the height of the platform.
NEVER attach overhanging loads to the platform or increase the platform size.
NEVER elevate platform if it contains more than one person or more than rated load (see specifications back page).
LOOK up, down and around for overhead obstructions and electrical conductors.
NEVER change operating or safety systems.
NEVER use outriggers from one model on another model.
CLOSE and secure cage after entering platform.

Safety Rules and Operating Instructions

INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged control
or power cables and loose wire connections.

NEVER use the machine as a freight or personnel elevator.
NEVER recharge battery near sparks or open flame. Batteries that are being charged emit highly explosive hydrogen

gas.

AFTER USE secure the work platform against unauthorized use by turning key switch off and removing key.
NEVER replace any component or part with anything other than original UpRight replacement parts without the

manufacturer's consent.
NEVER use machine as a welding ground. Welding ground must be attached to same structural element which is

being repaired.

outrigger. Pull outward on outrigger to ensure
engagement.

4. Repeat the above steps for all other outriggers.
Make sure all four (4) locking pins are engaged.

5. Level the base, centering the bubble in the orbit
level on the base by adjusting the screwjacks at
the end of each outrigger (Figure 1). DO NOT
release the tension on an outrigger, by turning
counterclockwise, to level base.

IMPORTANT: All four (4) screwjack pads must be
in solid contact with a firm surface and each
outrigger indicator light must be lit before the
platform is elevated.

Level Sensor

1. After outriggers have been installed, turn
screwjacks clockwise until wheels can be

wheels.

2. Lower platform completely. Remove fill cap on
hydraulic tank and check for proper hydraulic oil
level.

3. Activate lift function on platform controller while
pushing level sensor out of alignment. Listen for
audible tilt alarm.

4. Platform should not elevate.

IMPORTANT: All four wheels must be in solid
contact with the ground and each outrigger indica­tor light must be lit before the machine is operated.

DO NOT use a machine that elevates when
level sensor is off of level or tension has
been released on an outrigger. Remove

machine from service and repair before
using.

5. Release level sensor and fully elevate platform.

6. Visually inspect elevating assembly, chains and
straps. Check for missing or loose parts.
