PERATION AND SAFETY INSPECTION
Reference:• “Specifications” on page 12
• “Battery Maintenance” on page 9
• “Figure 1:Controls” on page 4
NOTE: Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, labels, and operating
instructions, then perform the following steps each day before use.
1. Open panels and check hydraulic components and hoses for damage or leaks. Check electrical components and wiring for damage or loose connections.
2. Inspect chassis, axles, hubs, and steering linkage for damage, deformation, buckled paint,
loose or missing hardware, and cracked welds.
3. With platform fully lowered, check the hydraulic oil level sight gauge on the hydraulic tank. Add
ISO #46 hydraulic oil if necessary.
4. Check that fluid level in all batteries is correct.
5. Check that all guardrails are in place. Insure that gate operates freely and latches securely.
6. Check tires for damage.
7. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for damage such as cracked welds or structural
members, loose or missing parts, oil leaks, damaged cables or hoses, and loose connections.

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, drop-offs, bumps and debris.
Check in ALL directions, including above the work platform, for obstructions
and electrical conductors.
Protect control console cable from possible damage while performing checks.
1. Unhook controller from front guardrail. Firmly grasp controller hanger in such a manner that
the interlock lever can be depressed, while performing the following checks from the ground.
2. Turn platform controller key switch clockwise to ON.
3. Position drive/lift switch to DRIVE position. Drive enable indicator light will be illuminated.
4. With the speed range switch first in LOW SPEED and then again in HIGH SPEED depress
the interlock lever and slowly push the control lever to FORWARD then REVERSE positions
to check for speed and directional control. The farther you push or pull the control lever the
faster the machine will travel.
5. Push steering switch RIGHT then LEFT to check for steering control.
6. Hook controller on guardrail in original position.
7. On chassis controls, turn key switch to Chassis.
8. From lower controls, push chassis raise button to elevate platform while pushing the tilt sensor off of level. The platform should only partially elevate and the tilt alarm should sound. If
the platform continues to elevate and/or there is no alarm STOP and remove the machine
from service until it is repaired.
9. Release the tilt sensor and fully elevate platform.
10. Visually inspect the elevating assembly, lift cylinder, cables and hoses for damage or erratic
operation. Check for missing or loose parts.
11. Lower the platform partially by pushing in on the chassis lower switch, and check operation of
the audible lowering alarm.
12. Open the chassis emergency lowering valve to check for proper operation by pulling and holding the knob out. Once the platform is fully lowered, close the valve by releasing the knob.
13. On chassis controls, turn key switch to platform.
14. Mount the platform making sure the gate is latched.
15. Turn platform controller key switch clockwise to ON. Position drive/lift switch to LIFT.
16. Depress the interlock lever and slowly push the control lever forward to raise the platform, fully
actuate the control lever to check proportional lift speed. Elevate the platform to 12 feet (3.7
m).
17. Slowly pull control lever to DOWN position to lower platform. Check that lowering alarm
sounds.
18. Turn platform controller key switch to OFF, push the emergency stop button and dismount the
platform.
19. Close and secure module covers.
