3.1 GENERAL

IMPORTANT

THE MANUFACTURER HAS DIRECT CONTROL OVER MACHINE APPLICATION AND
OPERATION. THE USER AND OPERATOR ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING

WITH GOOD SAFETY PRACTICES.

This section provides the necessary information needed to understand control function and

operation.

3.2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION

The SPM20 Model Lifts are electric self-propelled machines with an aerial work platform
mounted to an elevating aluminum mast mechanism. The personnel lift’s intended purpose is
to personnel access to areas above ground level.

The primary control station is located in the platform. From the Platform Control Console the
operator can drive the machine and raise or lower the platform.

The controls of the programmable Ground Control Station are to be used during machine

power-up, machine maintenance or in case of emergency should the operator in the platform
be unable to lower the platform.

Vibrations emitted by these machines are not hazardous to an operator working in the
platform.

The continuous A-Weighted sound pressure level at the work platform is less than 70db (A).

3.3 MACHINE OPERATION

Getting Started

The following control conditions must be met before the machine can be operated from either

the Ground or Platform Controls.

The batteries contain enough voltage to operate the machine.•

The Main Power Selector Switch on the Ground Control Station must be set for either •

Ground Control Mode or Platform Control Mode.
Both Emergency Stop Switches, one on the Ground Control Station the other on the •

Platform Control Console must be in the RESET position.
If equipped, the On/Off Key Switch on the Platform Console must be set to the ON •

position.

3.4 BATTERY CHARGING

SPM20 machines are equipped with an AC voltage input/DC voltage output battery charger.
The charger automatically terminates charging when the batteries reach full capacity.

NOTE: The machine’s platform drive function is disabled when the battery charger is plugged
into an AC receptacle.

+0° F to +210° F (-18°C - 99°C ) 20W-20

Hydraulic oils must have anti-wear qualities, and sufcient chemical stability for mobile
hydraulic system service. The manufacturer recommends Mobil uid 424 hydraulic oil, which
has an SAE viscosity of 10W-30 and a viscosity index of 152.

For cold weather applications, i.e. When temperatures remain consistently below +20 ° F (­7 c ) T he manufacturer recommends using Mobil DTE 13 hydraulic oil.

Aside from The manufacturer’s recommendations, it is not advisable to mix oils of different
brands or types, as they may not contain the same required additives or be of comparable
viscosities. If use of hydraulic oil other than Mobil uid 424 is desired, contact the
manufacturer for proper recommendations.

(b) Recommended lubricating intervals are based on normal use. If machine is subjected

to severe operating conditions, such as a high number of cycles, location, corrosive/dirty
environment, etc., user must adjust lubricating requirements accordingly.
(c) Prior to checking hydraulic oil level, operate machine through one complete cycle of lift
function (full up and down). Failure to do so will result in incorrect oil level reading on the hydraulic
reservoir.
