Mounted Work Platform. This manual must be stored on
the machine at all times.
Pre-Operation & Safety
Inspection
WARNING
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety
rules and operating instructions. Perform the
following steps each day before use. DO NOT
perform service on the Work Platform with the
platform elevated unless theelevating assembly is
properly supported.
1. Remove module covers and inspect for damage, oil
leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the platform
fully lowered. Oil should be visible on the filler cap
dip stick. If necessary top-up using ISO#46
hydraulic oil.
3. Check that the electrolyte level in the batteries
is correct. (Battery Maintenance, Page 9)
4. Verify batteries are charged.
5. Check that the A.C. extension cord has been
disconnected from the charger.
6. Carefully inspect the entire machine for damage
such as cracked welds or structural members, loose
or missing parts, oil leaks, damaged cables or hoses,
loose connections and tyre damage.
7. Move machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area
where machine can be fully elevated.
8. Check that the surface is capable of supporting
the outrigger loads, and is generally level. Apply the
handbrake.
9. Check that all four limit switches are undamaged
and then taking each outrigger in turn, pull the
locking pin release lever out while simultaneously
lowering the outrigger leg. Ensure the locking pin
snaps into position in the lower slot. (See Figure 1).
10. Lower all screw jacks until the load is just removed
from the road wheels. Level the machine as
necessary using the bubble level on the chassis to
check in both longitudinal and lateral directions.
Retract the jockey wheel until it is clear of the
surface. For a more detailed description of this
WARNING
Do not use a machine that is damaged or
malfunctioning. Tag and remove the unit from
service until it is repaired.
SYSTEM FUNCTION INSPECTION
NOTE:
Refer to Figure 2 & Figure 3 for the Chassis Control
and Platform Control locations.
WARNING
STAND CLEAR of the Work Platform while
performing the following checks.
BEFORE operating the Work Platform survey the
work area for surface hazards such as holes, dropoff’s (curbs), bumps and debris.
CHECK in all directions, including above the
Work Platform, for obstructions and power lines or
cables.
CORDON off the area within the platform’s
working area to keep passers-by clear of the
booms.
11. Turn both Chassis and Platform Emergency Stop
buttons ON (rotate clockwise).
12. Turn the Keyswitch on the Lower Control box to the
position marked CHASSIS (clockwise position).
13. Using the chassis control Toggle Switches, fully
ELEVATE Booms 1 and 2.
14. Visually inspect the elevating assembly and cage
mounting/structure, lift cylinders, cables and hoses
for leaks, damage or erratic operation. Check for
missing or loose parts such as nuts, bolts and
circlips.
15. Test the Emergency Lowering Valves on the Upper
and Lower Lift Cylinder are operating correctly as
detailed on Page 6. PUSH/TURN the Emergency
Stop Button to identify that functions will indeed
cease when depressed.
16. Check the SLEW left and right function.
17. Return the machine to an elevated position just
above the Boom Rest 1 ft (300 mm). To confirm
that the Outriggers and Outrigger Limit Switches
2
Page 3
will operate correctly while the machine is elevated,
it is then vital that each Outrigger Limit Switch is
individually tested. Raise the Rear Left Screw Jack
until the switch is no longer activated (will simulate
Outrigger out of deployment). At this point the TL33
should have the following characteristics;
the alarm will sound and the DOWN & SLEW Boom
functions only will be operable from the Lower
Controls.
The above test should be repeated for all Outriggers.
18. Lower each boom until the Elevating Assembly is
fully stowed. Repeat all the above tests from
the Platform Controls.
19. While testing the Platform Controls it is also
necessary to test that the Emergency Override
functions will work. While elevated in the Platform
request a colleague to activate the Tilt Sensor. The
alarm should sound and normal controls should
cease. By turning the Platform Selector Switch to
the Emergency Override position the DOWN
functions and SLEW functions only will be
activated.
The Emergency Override functions should also give
the Down & Slew functions only when an
Outrigger Limit Switch is deactivated. Carry out
the tests as outlined in Item No.17 in this section.
The System Function Inspection is then complete.
PRE-TRANSPORT INSPECTION
20. Lower the jockey wheel until it is in contact with the
surface.
21. Retract the Outriggers fully, making sure that they
will rest in the vertical position. To do this the
operator must do the following for each Outrigger:
l Raise the Screw Jack until the Locking Pin can be
released from the lower slot on the Quadrant Plate.
l Release the Locking Pin and rotate the Outrigger
Assembly until the Locking Pin will securely slot into
the upper slot on the Quadrant Plate.
22. Return the Keyswitch to the OFF (centre) position.
Check tyre pressures and thread depth. These
procedures are further detailed on Page 8.
Operation
Before operating the TL33 Work Platform it is
imperative that the Pre-Operation Inspection has
been completed and any deficiencies have been
corrected. The operator must also be fully trained
on this machine.
TOWING
WARNING
Before Towing, ensure that the Elevating Assembly
is properly stowed and secured using the Locking
Pin, and that the Outriggers are raised, retracted
and locked into position. See Pre-Transport
Inspection as before. Ensure the tyres are free
from damage, inflated to the correct pressure and
have sufficient thread depth. Ensure the breakaway
cable is properly attached to the towing vehicle
before driving away.
Adjust the Jockey Wheel using the screw handle until
the Towhitch is just above the height of the tow ball on
the towing vehicle.
Position the tow vehicle and fit the breakaway cable to
a suitable attachment point on the towing vehicle (not
the tow ball stem or towing pin).
While pushing the release button on the Towhitch lower
the Receiver onto the Tow Bar using the screw handle
on the Jockey Wheel, until the catch snaps into position.
Then when the receiver is secure and the Tow Bar is
taking some of the machines weight retract the Jockey
Wheel to its full extent, at which point the Jockey
Wheel will be in its locked position. Retighten the
clamp. This will negate the possibility of the wheel
moving and so the possibility of the Jockey Wheel
screwing down during transport.
Connect the electrical lead to the tow vehicles socket.
Check all lights for correct operation before transporting
the machine.
WARNING
If there are any concerns about the safe use or
operation of the TL33 following this
Pre-Operation Inspection DO NOT USE THE
TL33 WORK PLATFORM. Contact your
supplier or UpRight’s Product Support
Department.
NOTE:
Exercise caution during brake “Running In” period
(First 500 miles or 850 Km). When parking on
slopes fully tension the Hand Brake. When moving
the TL33 in reverse ensure that the Hand Brake
spring is fully compressed. Check that the TL33 is
moving in reverse. When not in use it is advisable to
chock wheels to prevent movement.

To deploy the Outrigger
the Locking Pin should
be released using the
spring loaded clamp.
The Outrigger can then
be rotated until the
Outriggers Locking Pin
engages the lower slot.
Vertical load increases
as the Outrigger Jack is
screwed down forcing
the Locking Pin further
into the slot.
Figure 1: Deploying the Outriggers
The Outrigger Locking Pin moves
further and strikes the limit switch
plunger when load is applied to
the Outrigger Jack.

DEPLOYING THE OUTRIGGERS
Position the TL33 on a firm, level surface. Apply the
handbrake and then lower the Jockey Wheel until it comes
into contact with the surface and retighten the clamp. As
the Jockey Wheel is further lowered release the locking
mechanism on the Tow Hitch Receiver. When clear of the
tow bar move the towing vehicle a small distance away
from the TL33. Next ensure that the TL33 is switched to
the ON position using the Keyswitch on the Lower Control
Box and that the Emergency Stop Buttons are also OFF
(turned clockwise to release).
ELEVATING & LOWERING THE TL33
WORK PLATFORM
When the TL33 has been thoroughly inspected, and has
been set up in accordance with the correct Outrigger
Deployment procedures, the Elevating Assembly can then
be used.
WARNING
LOOK up and around for obstructions before
performing the lift function.
DANGER
It is important that all outriggers are correctly
deployed on a firm surface capable of withstanding
the loads imposed. The Chassis MUST be
correctly levelled before elevating the platform.
WARNING
DO NOT use the TL33 Work Platform unless the
System OK LED (Outriggers Ready) is illuminated.
1. Pull out the locking handle and lower the Outrigger
until the Locking Pin locks into position in the lower
slot. Ensure the pin is completely seated in this slot.
Reference Figure 1.
2. Repeat for the remaining three outriggers
3. When all four Outriggers are seated in the lower slot
on the Quadrant Plate the operator can then proceed
to begin the process of levelling the Chassis.
4. Screw down all four jacks until they come into
contact with the firm surface.
5. Begin to adjust each of the Screw Jacks individually
in small increments until the Outriggers alone are
taking the machines weight. The Road Wheels
should be relieved of the machine’s load but they
should still just remain in contact with the surface.
6. Ensure that the machine is level in all planes using
the Bubble Level located at the rear of the Chassis.
7. Raise the Jockey Wheel on the Tow Hitch until it is
well clear of the ground.
The last operation to be carried out before entering the
Platform should be to check each of the Outriggers
individually for their stability and that in each instance the
Outrigger Limit Switch is activated. When the Keyswitch
is in the ‘ON’ position and the Outriggers are properly
deployed there should be no warning alarm.
ENSURE that the Elevating Assembly is clear of
the Chassis before engaging the Slew operation.
DO NOT overload the platform
DO NOT operate within 10 feet (3 metres) of any
electrical power cables. THIS WORK
PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED.
Cordon off the area within the platform’s working
area to keep passers-by clear of the booms.
NOTE: Chassis controls are for service use only.
1. Enter the Platform through the entrance provided
and ensure that the Drop Bar is in position. Where
applicable lock the Entry Step in the raised position.
2. Before using the machine all local Safety
Regulations involving helmets and restraining
devices should be observed. Safety harness
lanyards, not exceeding 1 m in length, should be
attached to the anchor points on the Platform floor.
3. Ensure the ‘ON/OFF/OVERRIDE’ switch on
the Upper Control Box switch is turned to the ON
, the Keyswitch on the Lower Control Box is turned
to CHASSIS position and all Emergency Stop
Buttons are OFF (twisted clockwise).
4. Check the green “System OK” L.E.D. is
illuminated. If not, and/or an audible alarm sounds,
check that the Outriggers are correctly deployed and
that the machine is level. The boom functions, nor
the slew function will operate if this is not correct.
5. Select “Boom 1” on the Function Selector Switch.
Check for overhead obstructions and when satisfied
squeeze the red Interlock control on the Joystick.
Slowly move the Joystick forward to elevate
Boom 1. The further the joystick is moved, the
faster the boom will move. Pressure must be applied
to the Interlock at all times while operation is
5
Page 6
required.
6. Select “Boom 2” or “Rotate” as required using the
‘Function Selector Switch’ and operate as described
above. For boom one or two functions the controls
will be forward for UP and backward for DOWN.
To rotate (Slew) RIGHT the Controller Joystick
should be moved forward. To rotate (Slew) LEFT
move the Controller Joystick backward.
7. Before lowering, check beneath the Platform floor
for obstructions. Operate as described above,
moving the Joystick to lower the Booms.
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS &
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE
In any emergency situation, the first action to be taken
should be to hit the red “Emergency Stop” button. This will
give instant cutout of all functions. It will then be required
to twist the button clockwise to release before the machine
can be operated again.
If the Audible warning alarm sounds, normal control
functions will cease to operate. This will be due to one of
the following problems ;
These are red knobs (push or twist type) mounted at the
base of the 2 Main Hydraulic Lift Cylinders (See Figure 4
below). The decal located on the TL33’s Lift Cylinder’s
will identify the Emergency Lowering Valves as either a
‘PUSH’ type or a ‘TWIST’ type.
Operate the lower boom first by pushing (turning
anticlockwise) slowly until the boom starts to descend. The
speed of descent iscontrolled by the amount the valve is
pushed (turned anticlockwise) - ensure that the rate of
descent is kept slow and under control. Descent can be
halted at any time by removing pressure from the red knob
for the ‘PUSH’ type, or turning the ‘TWIST’ type
clockwise.
Repeat the operation if necessary for the upper boom
when the cylinder is in reach of the ground.
With both main booms lowered fully it should then be
possible to leave the Platform safely. A small step ladder
can be used if necessary.
l deactivation of an Outrigger Limit Switch.
l the activation of the Tilt Sensor.
In this situation the procedure is to turn the Platform “ON/
OFF/OVERRIDE” Switch to the ‘EMERGENCY
OVERRIDE’ position, and hold it in this position while
using the boom controls as normal to descend in a
controlled manner to ground level. Do not begin to rotate
until close to the ground.
After leaving the Platform, check all Outriggers and adjust
to ensure each is correctly deployed. Note that during
emergency operation, controls will operate only at a
fixed, slow speed and will not allow the raising of the
Booms. The Booms can only be lowered.
Emergency Lowering
CAUTION
When operating this function, extreme care must be
taken to ensure that the person carrying out the task
does not become trapped by the Elevating
Assembly.
Should the machine become inoperable when elevated
request a person on the ground to lower the platform using
the emergency lowering valves.
Before operating the Emergency
Lowering Valves the surrounding
area should first be cleared of any
potential obstructions. It is also
important that when the valve is
pushed/turned, it is initially done
slowly. This is so that sudden
movement will not occur in the
Elevating Assembly, leading to a
potentially unstable machine.
Figure 4: Emergency Lowering
MANUAL ROTATION
1. Ensure booms are lowered as far as possible, but
just clear of the Tow Bar Weldment, and that the
Emergency Stop Button is pressed to prevent any
accidental powered operation.
2. Apply a or 17 mm (or 13 mm if required) socket
wrench to the Gearbox Drive Shaft and turn to
rotate the Elevating Assembly. The Gearbox Drive
Shaft for the 17 mm type gearbox is shown opposite.
3. Remove the wrench.

method of lifting. UpRight recommends the
procedure below for handling the machine.
To rotate the Elevating Assembly first apply a 17 mm
(13 mm) socket wrench to the shaft and turn to rotate
the ElevatingAssembly. When finished remove the
wrench.
Figure 5: Manual Rotation
CONTROL FROM GROUND LEVEL
1. Chassis Controls are fitted at the base of the
Elevating Assembly. These should only be used
when no operator is in the Platform (for
maintenance/service or inspection purposes), or if
the operator has become incapacitated.
2. It should be noted that in order to activate any of the
Lower Control Toggle Switches the Keyswitch, also
located on the Lower Controls, must be turned
clockwise to the CHASSIS position.
3. Use the appropriate toggle switch to raise or lower
Boom 1, Boom 2 or rotate as required.
AFTER USE EACH DAY
1. Ensure that the Platform is fully lowered.
2. Park the machine on a level surface, preferably
undercover, secure against vandals, children or
unauthorised operation. Apply the Hand Brake.
3. Turn the Keyswitch to OFF and remove the key to
prevent any unauthorised operation.
4. Recharge the batteries in accordance with the
instructions on Page 9.
BY CRANE
WARNING
See specifications (Page 16) for the weight of
the work platform and be certain that lifting
apparatus is of adequate capacity to lift the
platform.
The TL33 may be lifted by an overhead hoist/crane in the
following manner:
Four lifting straps capable of safely supporting the total
weight of the TL33 (2,734 lbs (1,240 Kg)), and at least 8
feet (2.5 m) long are required. This minimum length is
important to ensure the correct lifting angle. The straps
should be positioned as shown in Figure 6.
The four lifting straps (Positions 1, 2, 3 & 4) should be
positioned at the points indicated in Figure 6. Care must be
taken to ensure the straps do not interfere with any other
parts of the TL33.
The two rear lifting straps should be positioned between
the Outrigger Quadrant Plates and the Chassis Main
Member as indicated by positions 1 and 2. Care must be
taken that these two straps will not damage the cable for
the Outrigger Limit Switches.
The two front lifting straps should be positioned under the
Tow Bar Weldment, directly in front of the brake cable
anchor plate, as indicated by positions 3 and 4. Note that
the two straps are essential at this position as one must
pass each side of the Lower Boom, on the interior sides of
the Tension Bar Weldments.

Figure 6: Lifting the TL33
BY ROAD
CAUTION
It is important that before commencing transport
to ensure the vehicle used is capable of towing
2,734 lbs (1,240 Kg).
Care should always be taken while towing the TL33 on an
uneven or sloped surface. It is recommended that the set
of procedures that follow should be incorporated into a
normal working practice for towing the TL33 Work
Platform. The Procedures which should be followed when
transporting the TL33 are:
1. The Platform is to be fully lowered and slewed in
the correct position.
2. The Platform is to be securely stowed by inserting
the Boom Lock Down Pin in its place. This is
located at the Boom Rest.
3. The Jockey Wheel that is fitted to the Towhitch is
to be extended until the Receiver is close to the
height of the vehicle’s tow bar.
4. The Hand Brake is pulled to engage the brakes
(important if the machine is not on a level surface).
5. The Outriggers are to be fully retracted and secured
in position.
6. The key is turned to the off position.
7. Move the vehicle as close as possible to the
Receiver.
8. Lift the Towhitch on to the tow bar and make sure
the Receiver is properly secured.
9. Release the Hand Brake and retract the Jockey
Wheel.
CAUTION
The TL33 is a road approved vehicle and therefore may be
transported behind a motor vehicle of suitable towing
capacity. It is recommended that the vehicle used should
have a tow bar where the top of the ball is at a height of
between 1.42 ft (435 mm) and 1.64 ft (500 mm) above
surface level. These dimensions are also indicated below in
Figure 7. This is for the following reasons;
l the bottom of the Platform may be in danger of
hitting the surface while driving if the tow hitch is
above the upper limit.
l the towing vehicle will support too much weight if
the Towhitch is too low.
1.64 ft (500 mm)
1.42 ft (435 mm)
Figure 7: Allowable Tow Hitch Height
It is important that the Jockey Wheel is retracted as
fully as possible so that the wheel will not slew (turn)
while being transported. Failure to do so could
result in damage to the Jockey Wheel.
10. The tailboard harness is connected to the vehicle’s
braking system by means of a 7 Pin Plug.
11. Attach the Breakaway Safety Cable to the towing
vehicle.
The TL33 may then be towed.
If the TL33 is to be transported by other means then it
must be securely tied down to the transporting unit at
several points.
Recommended securing points are the four outrigger
support members on the Chassis and the Tow Bar
Weldment. Further securing points should be used if the
terrain on which the unit is travelling is rough or uneven.
Care should be taken when using tie downs that sensitive
parts of the TL33 (i.e. hosing, cabling etc.) are not
affected.
ALWAYS ensure that the Hand Brake is fully applied, that
all the booms are FULLY stowed and that the Boom Lock
Down Pin is in place.

Page 9
Maintenance
Basic Rule for maximum duty cycle of deep cycle
traction batteries:
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Electrical energy for the motor is supplied by four 6 volt
batteries wired in series to give a 24 volts DC supply.
Proper care and maintenance of the batteries and motor
will ensure maximum performance from the work
platform.
WARNING
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep
sparks, flames and smoking materials away from
batteries
Always wear safety glasses when working
with batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Rinse away
any spilled fluid thoroughly with clean water.
BATTERY INSPECTION AND
CLEANING
l Use the machine until it shows signs of weak / slow
performance.
l Allow the charger to charge the batteries until it
automatically shuts off.
l Avoid intermittent charging as the batteries develop
a memory effect similar to Nicad batteries.
BATTERY CHARGING
Batteries do not have their full potential until they have
been through 50 charge/discharge cycles (however the
rate at which the potential increases is exponential, and the
batteries will normally have 95% potential after 15 charge/
discharge cycles). Hence do not use a new battery in a
battery pack that already has more than 15 cycles. Charge
batteries at the end of each work shift or sooner if
batteries have been discharged. A battery is considered to
have a faulty cell if it has less than 80% of the potential of
the other batteries in the pack while measured under load.
WARNING
Check battery fluid level daily, especially if work platform
is being used in a warm, dry climate. If required, add
distilled water; use of tap water with a high mineral content
will shorten battery life.
CAUTION
If battery water level is not maintained, batteries will
not fully charge, creating a low discharge rate which
will damage Motor/Pump unit and void warranty.
Batteries should be inspected periodically for signs of
cracks in the cases, electrolyte leakage and
corrosion of the terminals. Inspect cables for worn spots or
breaks in the insulation and for broken cable terminals.
Clean batteries that show signs of corrosion at the
terminals or onto which electrolyte has overflowed during
charging. Use a baking soda solution to clean the batteries,
taking care not to get the solution inside the cells. Rinse
thoroughly with clean, warm water. Clean battery and
cable contact surfaces to a bright metal finish whenever a
cable is removed.
Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
Do not charge batteries in the vicinity of sparks or
flames.
Permanent damage to batteries will result if they are
not immediately recharged after discharging.
Never leave charger operating unattended for more
than two days. Keep charger dry.
Never disconnect cables from batteries when
charger is operating.
To ensure a proper charge several items must first be
checked.
1. Correct voltage and current are available to charger.
2. Extension cord is in good condition, is no longer than
26 ft. (8 m) and is 12 ga (1.5 mm2) or larger.
3. Charger will have an adequate time to allow a full
charge i.e. ensure that power supply will not be
switched off overnight.
4. A.C. Voltage Selector Switch (110/220V) is in the
correct position.
All UpRight battery operated Work Platforms, including the
TL33, are suitable for use in freezing and low temperature
conditions (to a value of -4ºF (-20ºC)). However for this
there are two provisions which must be met.
9
Page 10
l The ISO#46 grade of hydraulic oil normally used in
UpRight Work Platforms must be replaced with a
grade suitable for these low temperature conditions.
l When ambient temperatures fall below 65ºF (18ºC)
batteries cannot deliver 220 Ampere hours and so
should be placed on charge as soon after use as
possible. Under such conditions a 4 hour equalize
charge once a week in the early afternoon will
improve state of charge and battery life.
Charging
1. Check battery fluid level. If electrolyte level is
lower than 3/8 in (10 mm) above plates add
distilled water only. (DO NOT OVERFILL)
2. Connect battery charger lead to properly
earthed outlet of correct voltage and frequency.
3. The Charger will turn on automatically after a
short delay. The LED’s will indicate the rate
of charging.
4. Charger turns off automatically when batteries
are fully charged.
HYDRAULIC OIL
With the Platform fully lowered i.e. stowed, oil should be
visible on the dipstick. If oil is NOT visible, fill the tank
until oil is then visible on the dipstick. DO NOT fill above
the upper line on the dipstick or when the platform is
elevated.
LUBRICATION
Refer to the Service & Parts Manual for the lubrication
chart and guidelines.
DECALS
Refer to Figure 8 on Pages 12 & 13 for the locations of the
Decals used on the TL33 Work Platform. These Decals
must be present and in good condition before operating the
Work Platform. Be sure to read, understand and follow
these Decals when operating the Work Platform.
