WARNING
All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating
instructions and the Scaffold Industry Association's MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES
before performing maintenance on or operating any UpRight aerial work platform.
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.
NEVER sit, climb, or stand on the
platform guardrails or midrail.
1
NEVER elevate platform
without first leveling the base.
NEVER attempt to
push the UpRight
Lift with people or
materials on the
platform or with
the platform
elevated.

Outrigger Installation
Wheel Installation
1. Remove the outriggers from storage locations
on sides of mast.
2. Insert into outrigger socket in base (Figure 1).
3. Push in until locking pin engages hole in end of
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
installed.
2. Install rear wheels into rear outriggers. Pin
wheels in place using pins provided.

5. Lower screwjacks (turn counterclockwise) until
wheels are resting on ground. Be sure
screwjacks are high enough to avoid interference with the ground when machine is driven.
DO NOT use machine if screwjack limiting
tubes have been removed. Remove ma-
chine from service and repair before
using.
Pre-Operation & Safety
Test
NEVER perform this test from the platform.
1. On a solid level surface, install outriggers and
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.
7. Partially lower platform and listen for audible
lowering alarm.

Battery Maintenance
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep
sparks, flame and smoking materials away
from battery.
Always wear safety glasses when working
with batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Rinse
away any spilled fluid thoroughly with
clean water.
Always replace battery with UpRight battery
or manufacturer approved replacement
weighing at least 52 lbs. (23.6 kg) each.
Check battery fluid level daily, especially if
work platform is being used in a warm, dry
climate.
11. Check that the area below the platform is clear
before lowering the platform.
12. After use, secure unit from unauthorized use by
turning Key Switch to OFF and remove key.

If electrolyte level is less than
plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use tap
water with high mineral content, it will shorten
battery life.
Keep terminals and tops of batteries clean.
Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life
and for complete service instructions.

BATTERY CHARGING
Charge batteries at end of each work shift or
sooner if batteries have been discharged.
Charge battery in a well ventilated area.
Do not charge battery when the work
platform is in an area containing sparks or
flames.
Permanent damage to battery will result if
not immediately recharged after discharging.
Keep charger dry.
Loading
1. Disconnect the plug from the battery box and
remove the battery box from the rear of the
machine (Figure 6).
The battery box is heavy, 94.5 lbs. (42.9 kg),
lift properly (or have someone help you) to
prevent back injury.
Make sure loader fully engages tailgate or
vehicle bed.
1. Check battery fluid level. If electrolyte level is
lower than 3/8 in. (10 mm) above plates add
distilled water only.
2. Verify charger voltage switch is set to 12 volts.
3. Connect extension cord (12 ga. (1.5 mm²)
conductor minimum and 50 ft. (15 m) in length
maximum) to charger plug.
Connect extension cord to properly grounded
outlet of proper voltage and frequency.
4. Set charger control to "Conventional" setting.
Charger ammeter should indicate charge rate.
5. When battery is fully charged, charger automatically turns itself off. Disconnect extension
cord.

2. Raise the loader support bracket and engage
the retaining pin in the top hole of the loader
channel (Figure 6).
3. Secure the loader to the loader support bracket
with the gravity hook.
4. Position the unit so the back of the machine
comes in contact with the vehicle bed or tailgate.
5. Release the gravity hook and slide the loader
down until it comes into contact with the
vehicle bed or tailgate. Then reposition the
loader support bracket so the retaining pin is in
the first available hole above the loader.
6. Release the locking pin and pull the handle out
until the locking pin engages the hole in the
end of the handle (Figure 7).
7. Lift up on the handle, using the loader as a
pivot, until the unit rotates to a horizontal
position in the vehicle bed (Figure 8).
8. Push the base of the unit towards the front of
the vehicle bed. The machine will slide on the
loader until the rear wheels are on the bed. The
unit may then be rolled on the rear wheels and
upper casters.
9. Return the handle to the stored position, making
sure the locking pin engages the handle.

10. Secure unit with suitable strength rope or tie
straps using forklift pockets located under the
base of the unit and upper caster axle.
To prevent damage to the mast assembly,
do not place rope or tie straps across the
mast assembly when securing the unit for
transportation.
DO NOT overtighten the rope or tie straps,
damage to the machine will result.

UNLOADING
1. Unsecure the unit.
2. Release the locking pin and pull the handle out
until the locking pin engages the hole in the
end of the handle.
3. Roll the unit back until the rear wheels are off
the edge of the tailgate or vehicle bed.
4. Pull downward on the handle, allowing the
unit to slide on the loader. As the unit stops
sliding on the loader, it will pivot on the loader
to an upright position. Gradually counterbalance the units weight by applying an upward
force on the handle. This allows the unit to
settle gently on the wheels, avoiding undue
impact on the unit.
5. Return the handle to the stored position, making
sure the locking pin engages the handle.
6. Replace the battery and reconnect the battery
box plug making certain it is fully engaged.
