THIS MACHINE IS NOT
INSULATED!
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.
NEVER operate the machine when wind speeds exceed this machine’s wind rating. See “Beaufort Scale” on page 4 for details.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push EMERGENCY STOP switch to deactivate all powered functions.
IF ALARM SOUNDS while platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower platform. Move machine to a firm, level surface.
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 swing gate or other railing components is prohibited! Always make certain that the swing gate is closed and securely
locked!
It is prohibited to keep the swing 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 both keyswitches off and removing key.
The driving of MEWPs on the public highways is subject to regulations made under the Road Traffic Acts.
NEVER elevate the platform or drive
the machine while elevated unless the
machine is on a firm, level surface.
NEVER position the platform
without first checking for overhead
obstructions or other hazards.
Fall Hazard
NEVER climb, stand, or sit on
platform guardrails or midrail.

Crushing Hazards
Keep hands and limbs out of scissors.
Use common sense and planning when
operating the machine with the controller from
the ground. Maintain safe distances between
the operator, the machine and fixed objects.
Maintain a firm grasp on the platform rail when
removing the rail pins. Do not allow the platform
guard rails to fall.
Bodily Injury Hazard
Always operate the machine in a well-ventilated
area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic oil
or air leak. An air leak or hydraulic leak can
penetrate and/or burn skin.
Improper contact with components under any
cover will cause serious injury. Only trained
maintenance personnel should access
compartments. Access by the operator is only
advised when performing a pre-operation
inspection. All compartments must remain
closed and secured during operation.
Outrigger Safety
Do not lower the outriggers unless the machine
is on a firm surface. Avoid drop-offs, holes,
unstable or slippery surfaces and other possible
hazardous conditions.
When the auto level function is not being used
and the outriggers are being lowered
individually, the steer-end outriggers must be
lowered first.
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is
level. Do not set the machine up on a surface
where it cannot be leveled using only the
outriggers.
Do not raise the platform unless all four
outriggers are properly lowered, the footpads
are in firm contact with the ground and the
machine is level.
Do not adjust the outriggers while the platform
is raised.
Do not drive while the outriggers are lowered.

Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective
clothing and eye wear when working with
batteries.
Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid.
Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda
and water.

Pre-operation Inspection
Do Not Operate Unless:
√ You learn and practice the principles of
safe machine operation contained in this
operator's manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation
inspection.
Know and understand the pre-operation
inspection before going on to the next
section.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform
a pre-o
maintenance.
The pre-operation inspection is a visual
inspection performed by the operator prior to
each work shift. The inspection is designed to
discover if anything is apparently wrong with a
machine before the operator performs the
function tests.
The pre-operation inspection also serves to
determine if routine maintenance procedures
are required. Only routine maintenance items
specified in this manual may be performed by
the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check
each of the items.
peration inspection and routine
If damage or any unauthorized variation from
factory delivered condition is discovered, the
machine must be tagged and removed from
service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a
pre-operation inspection again before going on
to the function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
performed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer's specifications
and the requirements listed in the
responsibilities manual.
