BODILY INJURY HAZARD

Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic leak. High pressure hydraulic leaks can

penetrate, cut and/or burn skin.

Do not leave a wrench on the electric outrigger over-ride nut located on top of the electric

outriggers.

TOWING CAUTIONS/WARNING

1. Caution should be taken when towing to avoid high speeds and short turns. Unit may tip over
and this could result in death or serious injury.

1/31/2008 - 11 -

2. Remove all cargo from the scissors lift before towing. Failure to do this could result in
death or serious injury.

3. Do not operate unit in high speed winds, death or serious injury could occur.

4. Tow only with outriggers in transport position

5. Tow only with extension deck retracted and
pinned

6. Tow only with the deck lowered in transport
position

7. All tires must be properly inflated. Find the
recommended cold tire pressures on the tire
sidewall or trailer decal which is located inside
of the bottom control box. Do not over inflate
the tires. Tire pressures go up during driving.
Checking the tire pressure when the tires are
warm will give you an inaccurate pressure
reading.

8. Increase the distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front of you to twice the normal
following distance when towing a trailer. Allow
more following distance in adverse weather.

9. Slow down for downgrades and shift your
transmission into a lower gear.

10. Slow down for curves, hazardous road
conditions, freeway exits, and when driving in
adverse weather. Remember that your PLE Lift
may have a center of gravity that is higher than
the vehicle that is pulling it.

11. When passing other vehicles, be sure to leave
enough room for the extra length of the trailer.
You will need to go farther beyond the past
vehicle before you can return to your lane.

12. When turning with a trailer, avoid jerky or
sudden movements.

13. Heavy winds, excessive speed, load shifting or
passing vehicles can cause the trailer to sway
while driving. If this occurs, do not brake, do not speed up, and do not turn the steering
wheel. Turning the steering wheel or applying the brakes can cause the vehicle and trailer
to jackknife. Let up on the gas pedal and keep the steering wheel straight.

14. If the vehicle and/or trailer inadvertently travel off the paved road, hold the steering
wheel firmly and let up on the gas pedal. Do not apply the brakes. Do not turn sharply.

1/31/2008 - 12 -

Slow down to less than 25 mph or 40 km/h. Gradually turn the steering wheel to get back
on the road. Proceed with caution when entering traffic.

15. Always drive slowly when backing a trailer.

16. Keep your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Move your hand to the left to turn
the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to turn the trailer to the right. Your
PLE Lift has a short wheel base so small moves of the steering wheel have large effects on
the trailer.

17. Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots when operating.

18. It is recommended that operators wear an approved hard hat when operating the machine.

19. Check the work area for overhead obstructions or other possible hazards.

20. Be aware of crushing hazard when grasping the platform guardrail.

21. Do not operate a machine in the path of any crane or moving overhead machinery unless the
controls of the crane have been locked out and/or precautions have been taken to prevent
any potential collision.

22. Do not lower the platform unless the area below is clear of personnel and obstructions

CRUSHING HAZARDS

1. Keep hands and limbs out of the scissors.

2. Use common sense and planning when operating the machine with the controller from the
ground.

firmer ground

4. With the control switch on the control box in either the ground position, push the green
button marked ‘LEVEL MACHINE’

Problems with Machine Leveling

The scissors lift will level itself, unless there is a problem.

Problems could include the following.

1. Dead battery,

1/31/2008 - 23 -

2. The slope the machine is on is over five degrees,

3. Either of the two emergency stop buttons is pushed
(one of the emergency stop buttons is on the platform).

4. Failed or out of adjustment of outrigger switches.

5. The ground is soft and the machine settles as the outriggers are
extending.

6. The ground is too rough or un-level such that the legs (or leg) have
reached the extent of their travel. If this condition occurs the operator
rectify the condition before trying again. The machine will not level
of more than five degrees.

7. Failed or out of adjustment of scissors stack position switch.

8. If the machine is mal-functioning. The machine should not
be used until the malfunction is remedied.

Machine controls with option “variable height”

at ground level

Your TP 7000 or TP 9000 can be equipped with a variable height selector option. Activation
of this feature is achieved by turning the selector switch to the “variable height position.” Variable
height selection gives you the option to operate the machine with the outriggers in the “in” or at
their narrowest position. This feature still requires that the outriggers “sense” pressure. The unit
will not operate if the outrigger pads are not firmly on the ground. With the selector turned to the
“variable height” position, you may safely operate the lift to a height of twelve (12) feet. The
machine will automatically stop rising at the twelve foot level. It is important to note: Your TP
7000 or TP 9000 will only rise to its full height with all four (4) of the outriggers in the fully
deployed (extended) position.

ALARMS AND ALARM LIGHTS

•

•

1. DOWN ALARM

1/31/2008 - 26 -

2. When the platform is being lowered the alarm horn is activated. The purpose for this is to
warn personnel to stand clear of the scissors lift.

3. OUT OF LEVEL ALARM

4. If the alarm light is flashing ½ second on and ½ second off the out of level alarm is on. With
‘OUT OF LEVEL ALARM’ active the scissors lift is not level. See leveling procedure.

5. PLATFORM OVERLOADED

6. If ‘OVERLOADED’ LED is lit the weight rating for the load has been exceeded. The
operator should lower the loading to below the maximum rating. The lift will not operate in
over-loaded condition if it has the optional overload sensing device.

7. LEG POSITION

8. There are four outrigger position indicating lights. These lights must be on to operate the
machine. Exception, the scissors lift may be equipped with the variable height option. These
machines will have a switch on the control box that allows operation at a lower height if on.
The machine is stable to this lower height with the outrigger legs in. If the machine is not
equipped with the green indicator light for variable height the switch will be off, the alarm
light will be lit and the alarm horn will sound. In this state the operator will not be able to
lift the platform.

9. LOW VOLTAGE ALARM

10. If the battery has a low charge the low battery light will be lit. The alarm light will

be lit and the horn will sound. The batteries must be charged before continuing operation of

the lift.

DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE WITH LOW

CHARGE ON THE BATTERIES.

“proximity” switch. The photo on the right is the ‘end’ view of the outrigger switch housing. In this
picture the right side of the housing shows the “pressure” switch and the left side shows the
proximity switch. The outrigger pin must be in place before the proper adjustment of the switches
can be made.

Caution: when inserting the outrigger legs care is needed. Do not force the outrigger leg

into position. The leg must be started in at an angle so as to get past the switches. Then the
outrigger leg can be slid into place. If the legs are forced in the legs will break the switches and
they will have to be replaced.

Preconditions for adjusting switches:

1. The scissors lift should be resting on the tires/wheels, not the outriggers.

2. The outriggers should be in position for lifting. That is the outriggers should be extended
into position so that they are ready to be put in use.

3. The pin holding the outriggers must be inserted so as to position the outrigger properly
(extended).

PROCEDURE FOR PRESSURE SWITCH:

1. Lift the outrigger leg so that it is not resting on the frame and is lifted high enough so that
it is in the same position with regard to the frame as it would be if the outrigger was
holding up the frame.

2. Loosen the adjustments screws so that the pressure switch can be moved.

3. Move the switch up then down.

4. While moving it down a slight click can be heard – that click is the switch opening.

5. Slowly lift the switch until a click is heard a second time. This click is the switch closing.
The switch should be moved only slightly so that the opening and closing of the switch will
happen when the outrigger leg is lifted or lowered.

6. Tighten that switch. This switch should now be calibrated.

Procedure for the proximity switch:

1. The proximity switch handle or leg should be directly over the detent in the outrigger leg.

2. Loosen the proximity switch screws.

3. Lift the leg

4. Lift the switch and then lower it until a click can be detected.

5. Raise the switch until the click can be detected the switch should be lifted slightly.

6. Tighten the proximity switch screws.

1/31/2008 - 28 -

7. Test the switch by removing the outrigger retention pin, move the outrigger in and out while
the outrigger leg is held with slight upward pressure. The proximity switch should open and
close as the outrigger leg is moved in and out.

8. Extend the outrigger leg and replace the retention pin.

9. The proximity switch should be calibrated.

TESTING:

1. Ensure everything is properly adjusted by lowering the outrigger leg so as to slightly lift
the corner of the scissors jack. With a continuity tester check to see if there is continuity
across the contacts of the switches. If there is not continuity then the procedure must be
redone.

2. Next lift the outrigger leg so that there is no pressure on the leg. There should no longer
be continuity across the contacts on the pressure switch.

3. Pull the outrigger retention pin

4. Move the outrigger leg in about 5 cm.

5. Lower the outrigger leg until there is upward pressure.

6. test continuity across the proximity switch, there should be no continuity,

The outrigger should now be ready for use.

pre-delivery and inspection report for additional information

- 92 - 8002/13/1

2. Check pinned connections on outriggers. The outrigger retaining pins are to be removed and
each outrigger is to be pulled out of its transport position. Replace the outrigger in a
vertical position so that the outrigger pad faces down. Replace the security pin from where
it was removed with the outrigger in its extended position. Always replace the spring loaded
security pin in each outrigger pin.

3. The outrigger is held in place with a hitch-type pin and a hairpin clip. Do not use if the pin
or clip is missing. Replace before use.

4. Check to see that the deck gate chain is in place. Do not use machine if the chain is missing.

Hydraulics – ATF Mercon/Dexron III Hydraulic Oil

1. Check hoses for any leaks or wear.

2. Check oil level in the reservoir. Oil level should be 2” below the top of fill tube when the
lift is fully lowered. Total oil capacity is 3 gallons. Do not overfill as this will result in fluid
discharge from the tank vent plug.

3. Vent plug on cylinder should be free of external debris. Do not use lift if vent plug on
cylinder is missing. Replace vent plug with factory supplied plug before use.

Scissors Stack

1. Check scissors stack connections for wear.

2. A washer and external snap ring hold stack sections in place. Do not operate lift if snap ring
or washer is missing. Replace before use.

3. Scissors stack sections require no lubrication

Battery

Proper battery condition is essential to good machine performance and operational safety.

Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and connections can result in component damage and
hazardous conditions.

1. Put on protective clothing and eyewear.

2. Be sure that the battery cable connections are free of corrosion.

1/31/2008 - 30 -

3. Be sure that the battery retaining fasteners and cable connections are tight.

4. Inspect the battery charger plug and pigtail for damage or excessive insulation wear.
Replace as required.

5. Connect the battery charger to a properly grounded AC power supply.

6. You can expect a minimum of 35 to 75 complete up and down cycles from your UPRIGHT Lift.

7. Eight hours are required to completely recharge your machine with the onboard automatic

Scissors Lift Arm Wear Pads

Maintaining the scissor arm wear pads is essential to safe machine operation. Continued use

of worn out wear pads may result in component damage and unsafe operating conditions. Apply a thin
layer of dry film lubricant to the area of the chassis where the scissor arm wear pads make
contact.

Electrical Wiring

Maintaining electrical wiring in good condition is essential to safe operation and good

machine performance. Failure to find and replace burnt, chafed, corroded or pinched wires could
result in unsafe operating conditions and may cause component damage.

WARNING: Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live circuits could result in
death or serious injury. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.

1. Inspect the underside of the chassis for damaged or missing wires.

2. Inspect the following areas for burnt, chafed, corroded and loose wires:

a. Ground control box

b. Scissors arms

c. Platform controls

Hydraulic Tank Cap Venting System

A free-breathing hydraulic tank cap is essential for good machine performance and service

life. A dirty or clogged cap may cause the machine to perform poorly. Extremely dirty conditions
may require that the cap be inspected more often.

1. Remove the breather cap from the hydraulic tank

2. Check for proper venting.

- 13 - 8002/13/1

RESULT: If the air does not pass through the cap, clean or replace the cap.

NOTICE: When checking for positive tank cap venting, air should pass freely
through the cap.

Using a mild solvent, carefully wash the cap venting system. Dry the venting system by

using low-pressure compressed air. Repeat vent check.

Install the breather cap onto the hydraulic tank.

The hydraulic tank is a vent-type tank. The breather cap has an internal air filter that can

become clogged or, or over time, can deteriorate. If the breather cap is faulty or improperly
installed, impurities can enter the hydraulic system, which may cause component damage.
Extremely dirty conditions may require that the cap be inspected more often.

1. Remove and discard the hydraulic tank breather cap

2. Install a new cap onto the tank.

Bleeding air from the hydraulic system- System “lock”

It may be necessary to “bleed” air from the hydraulic system after service has been
performed. If the system is not free of air, the safety system will activate and the “velocity
fuse” in the manifold will “lock” the machine. This lock can be over-ridden by pulling the manual
release at the same time as you raise the machine.

Please follow the following procedure:

1. Locate the hydraulic return line (located at the top of pump)

2. Remove line and place this line in a container.

3. Pull (don’t jerk) manual release (emergency lowering valve located at the back of machine)

and have an assistance raise machine at the same time until oil comes out of the hose.
(Usually takes about two seconds) be careful as air and oil will exit the system with some
velocity.

4. Release manual release and raise lift. It will be necessary to add oil to the system when the

lift platform reaches ten feet of elevation.

5. Extend the platform until it hits the cylinder stop (twenty-four feet) and reconnect the

hydraulic return line.

6. Lower unit and cycle system.

Tires and Wheels

Maintaining the tires and wheels in good condition is essential to safe operation and
good performance. Tire and/or wheel failure could result in a machine tip-over. Component
damage may also result if problems are not discovered and repaired in a timely fashion.

1. Check the tire surface and sidewalls for cuts, cracks, punctures and unusual wear.

2. Check each wheel for damage, bends, or cracks.

MAINTENANCE SECTION:

Inspection :

1. Inspect machine for any metal fatigue or wear.

2. Do not use if any cracked welds are found. Cease operation and contact UPRIGHT, if any
defects are found. Refer to UPRIGHT pre-delivery and inspection report for

additional information

3. Check pinned connections on outriggers

4. The outrigger retaining pins are to be removed and each outrigger is to be pulled out of its
transport position. Replace the outrigger in a vertical position so that the outrigger pad
faces down. Replace the security pin from where it was removed with the outrigger in its
extended position. Always replace the spring loaded security pin in each outrigger pin.

5. The outrigger is held in place with a hitch-type pin and a hairpin clip. Do not use if the pin
or clip is missing. Replace before use.

6. Check to see that the deck gate chain is in place. Do not use machine if the chain is missing.

Hydraulics – ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
Mercon/Dexron III

1. Check hoses for any leaks or wear.

2. Check oil level in the reservoir. Oil level should be 5 cm below the top of fill tube when the
lift is fully lowered. Total oil capacity is 0.0114 Kilo liter. Do not overfill as this will result
in fluid discharge from the tank vent plug.

3. Vent plug on cylinder should be free of external debris. Do not use the lift if vent plug on
cylinder is missing. Replace vent plug with factory supplied plug before use.

Scissors Stack

1. Check scissors stack connections for wear.

2. A washer and external snap ring hold stack sections in place. Do not operate the lift if a
snap ring or washer is missing.

3. Scissors stack sections require no lubrication

Battery

Proper battery condition is essential to good machine performance and operational safety.

Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and connections can result in component damage and
hazardous conditions.

Before starting with battery maintenance, put on protective clothing and eyewear.

- 74 - 8002/13/1

1. Be sure that the battery cable connections are free of corrosion.

2. Be sure that the battery retaining fasteners and cable connections are tight.

3. Inspect the battery charger plug and pigtail for damage or excessive insulation wear.
Replace as required.

4. Connect the battery charger to a properly grounded AC power supply.

5. With properly maintained batteries, a minimum of thirty-five complete up and down cycles
from your UPRIGHT Lift. As batteries age the number of cycles may decrease – eventually
the batteries may need replacement.

6. Eight hours are required to completely recharge your machine with the onboard automatic
charger

Scissors Lift Arm Wear Pads

Maintaining the scissor arm wear pads is essential to safe machine operation. Continued use

of worn out wear pads may result in component damage and unsafe operating conditions. Apply a thin
layer of dry film lubricant to the area of the chassis where the scissor arm wear pads make
contact.

Electrical Wiring

Maintaining electrical wiring in good condition is essential to safe operation and good

machine performance. The most common reason that wires may show over-heating is improper
connections. If you find wires that show over-heating replace them. If they over heat and have
proper connections that lift should be taken in for examination by trained technicians, since it is
possible that parts may need to be repaired or replaced. Failure to find and replace burnt, chafed,
corroded or pinched wires could result in unsafe operating conditions and may cause component
damage.

WARNING: Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live circuits could result in death or

serious injury. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.

1. Inspect the underside of the chassis for damaged or missing wires.

2. Inspect the following areas for burnt, chafed, corroded and loose wires:

a. Ground control box

b. Scissors arms

c. Platform controls

WARNING: Crushing hazard. Keep hands clear of the safety arm when lowering
the platform.

Inspect the center chassis area and scissor arms for burnt, chafed and pinched cables.

1. Scissor arms

2. Power to platform controls

3. Power to platform wiring

- 84 - 8002/13/1

Hydraulic Tank Cap Venting System

A free-breathing hydraulic tank cap is essential for good machine performance and service

life. A dirty or clogged cap may cause the machine to perform poorly. Extremely dirty conditions
may require that the cap be inspected more often.

1. Remove the breather cap from the hydraulic tank

2. Check for proper venting.

RESULT: If the air does not pass through the cap, clean or replace the cap.

NOTICE: When checking for positive tank cap venting, air should pass

freely through the cap.

Using a mild solvent, carefully wash the cap venting system. Dry the system using low-

pressure compressed air. Repeat vent check.

Install the breather cap onto the hydraulic tank. The hydraulic tank is a vent-type tank.

The breather cap has an internal air filter that can become clogged or over time, can deteriorate.
If the breather cap is faulty or improperly installed, impurities can enter the hydraulic system,
which may cause component damage. Extremely dirty conditions may require that the cap be
inspected more often.

1. Remove and discard the hydraulic tank breather cap

2. Install a new cap onto the tank.

Bleeding air from the hydraulic system- System “lock”

It may be necessary to “bleed” (or relieve) air from the hydraulic system after service has

been performed. If the system is not free of air, the safety system will activate and the “velocity
fuse” in the manifold will “lock” the machine. This lock can be over-ridden by pulling the manual
release at the same time as you raise the machine.

Please follow the following procedure:

1. Locate the hydraulic return line (located at the top of pump).

2. Remove the line and place this line in a container.

3. Pull the manual release (the emergency lowering valve located at the back of machine)

and have an assistant raise machine at the same time until oil comes out of the hose.
This usually takes about two seconds, be careful as air and oil will exit the system with
some velocity.

4. Release manual release and raise lift. It will be necessary to add oil to the system when

the lift platform reaches ten feet of elevation.

5. Extend the platform until it hits the cylinder stop (twenty-four feet) and reconnect the

hydraulic return line. 6. Lower unit and cycle system.

Tires and Wheels

Maintaining the tires and wheels in good condition is essential to safe operation and good

performance. Tire and/or wheel failure could result in a machine tip-over. Component damage may
also result if problems are not discovered and repaired in a timely fashion.

1. Check the tire surface and sidewalls for cuts, cracks, punctures and unusual wear.

2. Check each wheel for damage, bends, or cracks.

Other lubrication

Grease fittings are provided on both the top and bottom ends of the main hydraulic cylinder.

Lift the machine and place the safety prop in position in order to grease these fittings.

Alarms (a horn in control box and a red light on platform)

Outrigger proximity and pressure switches- Audible/Visual alarm

Occasionally it may be necessary to adjust outrigger proximity and pressure switches. The

proximity switch is a “normally closed switch which opens into a depression in the outrigger. You
can easily locate this depression on the outrigger. The pressure switch is a normally open switch
which closes as the outrigger jack is deployed downward and comes in contact with the ground. If
the proximity switch is in the correct position for operation of the lift a green LED will light in the
corresponding position as the leg.

The switches are the same part number and can be interchanged. They are adjusted by

loosening two screws on each side of the switch cover. The proper adjustment is noticed by hearing
a “click” when each switch is activated or deactivated.

Level sensor- Audible/Visual alarm

The level sensor is designed to give an audible signal at out of level attitudes of 3 degrees

front to back and 2 degrees side to side. The level sensor is pre-set at the factory and it is leveled
with the frame of the machine using three bracket bolts with spring tension on them. Always level
the machine to the frame using both the indication level on the sensor and a four foot contractor’s
level.

The lifts with auto-level will automatically level the lift to much less than 2 degrees.
