PERATION AND SAFETY INSPECTION
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions, labels, and the Scaffold Industry Association’s MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES. Perform the following steps each
day before use.
1. Open module covers and inspect for damage, oil leaks, or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the platform fully lowered. Open the Left Module and
remove the reservoir cap. Oil should be visible in the filler screen. Add hydraulic fluid if necessary.
3. Check that fluid level in the batteries is correct (See “Battery Maintenance” on page 11.).
4. Verify that batteries are charged.
5. Check that A.C. extension cord has been disconnected from charger.
6. Check that all guardrails are in place with all fasteners properly tightened.
7. Check that the slide out deck extension is secured with the pin.
8. Inspect the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks,
damaged control cable, loose wire connections and wheel bolts.
9. Close and secure module covers.
10. Move the machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area to allow for full elevation.
11. Pull Chassis EMERGENCY STOP Switch to the ON position.
12. Pull Platform EMERGENCY STOP Switch to the ON position.
