THIS MACHINE IS
NOT INSULATED!
THIS MACHINE IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY! Do not use out of doors.
USE OF THE AERIAL WORK PLATFORM: This aerial work platform is intended to lift persons and his tools as well as the material
used for the job. It is designed for repair and assembly jobs and assignments at overhead workplaces (ceilings, cranes, roof structures,
buildings etc.). All other uses of the aerial work platform are prohibited!
THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED! For this reason it is imperative to keep a safe distance from live parts of electrical equipment!
Exceeding the specified permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Special Limitations” on page 4 for details.
The use and operation of the aerial work platform as a lifting tool or a crane (lifting of loads from below upwards or from up high on
down) is prohibited!
NEVER exceed the manual force allowed for this machine. See “Special Limitations” on page 4 for details.
DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps, curbs, or debris;
and avoiding them.
OPERATE machine only on surfaces capable of supporting wheel loads.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push EMERGENCY STOP switch to deactivate all powered functions.
Climbing up the railing of the platform, standing on or stepping from the platform onto buildings, steel or prefab concrete structures, etc.,
is prohibited!
Dismantling the entry gate or other railing components is prohibited! Always make certain that the entry gate is closed and securely
locked!
It is prohibited to keep the entry gate in an open position (held open with tie-straps) when the platform is raised!
To extend the height or the range by placing of ladders, scaffolds or similar devices on the platform is prohibited!
NEVER perform service on machine while platform is elevated without blocking elevating assembly.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, loose wire connections, and damaged
cables or hoses before using.
VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using.
NEVER use a machine that is damaged, not functioning properly, or has damaged or missing labels.
To bypass any safety equipment is prohibited and presents a danger for the persons on the aerial work platform and in its working
range.
NEVER charge batteries near sparks or open flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas.
Modifications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by UpRight.
AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning keyswitches off and removing key.
This manual covers operation of the UL25, UL32, and UL40 Work Platforms. This manual must be
stored on the machine at all times.

1. Raise the loader support brackets and engage
the retaining pin in the top hole of the loader
channel.
2. Secure the loader to the loader support bracket with the gravity hook.
3. Position the unit so the back of the machine comes into contact with the tailgate or vehicle bed.
4. Release the gravity hook and slide the loader down until it comes into contact with the tailgate or vehicle
bed. Then reposition the loader support bracket so that the retaining pin is in the first available hole
above the loader.
5. Release the locking pin and pull the T-handle out until the locking pin engages the hole in the end of the
T-handle.
6. Lift up on the T-handle, using the loader as a pivot, until the unit rotates to a horizontal position in the
vehicle bed.
7. 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.
8. Return the T-handle to the stored position, making sure that the locking pin engages the T-handle.
9. Secure the unit with suitable tie straps using the forklift pockets located under the base of the unit, and
either the upper caster axle on the UL25 models or the tilt back frame on the UL32 and UL40 models.

3. Roll the unit back until the rear wheels are off the edge of the tailgate or vehicle bed.
4. Pull downward on the T-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 unit’s weight by applying an upward force on the T-handle. This allows
the unit to settle gently on the wheels, avoiding undue impact on the unit.
5. Return the T-handle to the stored position, making sure that the locking pin engages the T-handle.

CAUTION
Before tilting the machine onto the rear Tilt Back assembly, be sure that the retaining pin is fully inserted
with the hair pin retainer installed and the cylinder assembly is fully extended.
DO NOT drop the Tilt Back frame.
Keep out from under the Tilt Back frame and machine when tilting.
1. Be sure that the area is clear of personnel and obstructions.
2. While holding the Tilt Back frame, remove the hair pin retainer and the retaining pin.
3. Lower the Tilt Back frame until the hole in the cylinder assembly align with the upper mounting bracket
pin hole. Secure the cylinder assembly to the upper mounting bracket using the retaining pin and hair pin
retainer.
4. Extend the Tilt Back Handle to the tilt/lift position by releasing the locking pin and pulling the handle out
of the Tilt Back assembly until the locking pin engages.
5. Push down on the Tilt Back Handle until the unit comes to rest on the Tilt Back frame.
• As the mast tilts back, counterbalance the machine’s weight by increasing upward force on the end of
the Tilt Back Handle. This allows the machine to gently come to rest on the Tilt Back casters.
6. Pull down on the handle on the back of the mast to compress the cylinder assembly.
7. Return the Tilt Back Handle to the storage position, making sure that the locking pin engages the handle.

AISING
1. Lift up on the mast handle to extend the cylinder assembly.
2. Fully engage the Tilt Back Handle until the locking pin engages.
3. Lift up on the Tilt Back Handle.
• As the mast approaches vertical, counterbalance the machine’s weight by increasing downward force
on the end of the tilt Back Handle. This allows the machine to settle gently on the front casters.
4. Return the Tilt Back handle to the storage position, making sure that the locking pin engages the handle.
5. While holding the Tilt Back frame, remove the retaining pin and raise the Tilt Back assembly to the
stowed position.
6. Secure with the retaining pin, making sure that the retaining pin is fully inserted, and that the hair pin
