ENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SL26/30SL Work Platform consists of the platform, controller, elevating assembly, leveling system,
power module, control module, and chassis
(Figure 1-1).
Platform
The platform has a reinforced wood floor, 43.5 inch
(1.11 m) high guardrails with midrail, 6 inch (152 mm)
toeboards and an entrance gate at the rear of the
platform. The guardrails can be folded down for
access through doors or for shipment, except when
equipped with the optional roll-out deck extension.
Controller
The controller contains the controls to operate the
machine. It should be hung on the front, left, or right
guardrail, but may be hand held if necessary. To
operate the machine, the interlock lever must be
depressed to operate any function. A complete explanation of control functions can be found in Section 2.
Elevating Assembly
The platform is raised and lowered by the elevating
assembly, a two section arm pivoting on a gear, and
powered by a single stage lift cylinder. The hydraulic
pump, driven by the engine, actuates the cylinder.
Solenoid operated valves control raising & lowering.
Power Module
The power module contains the engine, hydraulic
pump, fuel tank, battery, and starter solenoid.
Control Module
The control module contains the hydraulic tank,
hydraulic valve manifold, horn/alarms, volt/hour
meter, electrical terminal strips, and chassis controls.
A complete explanation of the chassis control functions is found in Section 2.
Leveling System
The base of the elevating assembly is mounted on
two pivots. Hydraulic cylinders at the side and rear of
the elevating assembly tilt the elevating assembly
and platform side to side or fore and aft. Instructions
for leveling the platform and elevating assembly are
found in Section 2.
Chassis
The chassis is a structural frame that supports all the
components of the SL26/30SL Work Platform.
Purpose of Equipment
The SL26/30SL Work Platform is designed to elevate
personnel and materials to overhead work areas and
be driven with the platform elevated on firm, level surfaces only.
Note: Travel with the platform raised is limited to
a creep speed range and will only travel if the
platform is less than 8 meters high
Special Limitations
The objective of the SL26/30SL is to provide a
quickly deployable, self-propelled, variable height
work platform for worksite use that can be driven over
rough terrain.
WARNING
!!
DO NOT use the maintenance platform without
guardrails properly assembled and in place with
fasteners properly torqued.
DANGER
!
!
The elevating function shall ONLY be used
when the work platform is level and on a firm
surface. The work platform is NOT intended to
be driven over uneven, rough or soft terrain
when elevated.

NTRODUCTION
General Functioning
The engine directly drives a hydraulic pump. The
pump supplies oil under pressure to operate all the
work platform functions. The oil flow is directed to the
different functions by electrically activated solenoid
valves.
Driving
With the Controller Key Switch ON, and the engine
running, both chassis and controller Emergency Stop
Switches ON, the Interlock Lever depressed, and the
Drive/Lift Switch on DRIVE, the machine will drive
forward or reverse at a speed proportional to the
angle the control lever is pushed or pulled.
Driving with the Platform Lowered
Selecting HIGH SPEED with the Drive Speed Switch
and moving the Control Lever forward or reverse with
the platform fully lowered will energize the cutout
relay thru the Platform Down Relay contacts, the
Series/Parallel Coils, the Proportional Coil and the
Forward or Reverse Coil to allow oil to flow into the
Parking Brake (releasing the Brake) and serially
through the Hydraulic Motors. The Proportional Valve
closes or opens in proportion to the movement of the
Control Lever (from center). As the Proportional
Valve closes, more oil is allowed to flow to the Forward or Reverse Valve increasing drive speed.
Selecting HIGH TORQUE (low speed) with the Drive
Speed Switch the Series/Parallel Valves are not
energized, allowing the oil to divide through the
Hydraulic Motors producing the high torque/low drive
speed.
Driving with the Platform Elevated
Raising the platform (see RAISING AND LOWERING
THE PLATFORM, below) opens the Platform Down
Switch which cuts power to the Platform Down Relay.
This energizes the cutout relay thru the tilt sensor
and prevents the axle float valve solenoid from energizing, locking the axle in place. Also de-energized
are the Series/Parallel coils and the controller high
speed circuit. When raised, the platform will only
drive at low speed (motors in parallel) and then only
if the front axle parallel with the rear axle and the
platform is level.
Steering
On the top of the Control Lever is a momentary
rocker switch for steering the machine left and right.
Pressing the right or left side of the rocker switch will
energize the Steering Coils and allow oil to flow
through the Steering Valve to the Steering Cylinder.
Releasing the rocker switch de-energizes the Steering Coils and holds the Steering Cylinder in position.
The Steering Cylinder will not automatically
return to center. The Steering Switch must be
activated to change the wheels direction.
Leveling
With the controller key switch ON (and the engine
running), both chassis and controller emergency stop
switches ON, and the Level/Drive/Lift switch on
LEVEL, the machine can be tilted right or left with the
side/side switch forward and backward with the fore/
aft switch to allow centering of the platform bubble
indicator. The side/side switch and the fore/aft switch
energize the steering bypass coil, to direct oil to the
tilt valves, and the tilt valves directing oil to the right/
left tilt cylinder and fore/aft tilt cylinder, respectively.
Raising And Lowering The Platform
With the Controller Key Switch ON (and the engine
running), both chassis and controller Emergency
Stop Switches ON, the Interlock Lever depressed,
and the Drive/Lift Switch on LIFT, the machine will
elevate at a speed proportional to the angle the Control Lever is pushed forward.
Pushing forward on the Control Lever energizes the
Cutout Relay thru the tilt sensor, Proportional Coil,
Up Coil and accelerator or throttle relay to increase
the engine speed. The greater the angle (from center) of the Control Lever the more the Proportional
Valve closes. As the Proportional Valve closes more
oil is allowed to flow through the Lift Valve to the Lift
Cylinder increasing lift speed.
Lowering the platform electrically energizes the
Down Alarm and the Down Coil. This allows the oil to
flow out of the Lift Cylinder through an orifice, which
controls the rate of descent, then back to tank. During the last 304 mm (12 in.) of lowering the Cushion
Down Valve is energized forcing the oil thru another
orifice slowing the platform rate of descent. Lowering
the platform manually with the Emergency Down
Valve allows the oil to flow out of the Lift Cylinder in
the same manner but there is no Down Alarm.

ATTERY MAINTENANCE
Battery Inspection & Cleaning
Check battery fluid level daily, especially if work platform is being used in a warm, dry climate. If required,
add distilled water ONLY. Use of tap water with high
mineral content will shorten battery life.
The battery and cables should be inspected regularly
for signs of cracks in the case, electrolyte leakage
and corrosion of the terminals. Inspect cables for
worn spots or breaks in the insulation and for broken
cable terminals.
Clean the battery when it shows signs of corrosion at
the terminals or when electrolyte has overflowed during charging. Use a baking soda solution to clean the
battery, taking care not to get the solution inside the
cells. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Clean battery and cable contact surfaces to a bright metal finish whenever a cable is removed.
CAUTION
!!
DO NOT support or raise the front of the platform during any maintenance operation as this
may result in damage to the tension members.
WARNING
!!
BEFORE performing, maintenance on work
platform, while elevated, ensure that elevating
assembly is properly supported.
DO NOT stand in elevating assembly area while
installing or removing jackstand.
WARNING
!
!
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks,
flame, and smoking material away from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working with
batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly
rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water.

Battery Charging
The battery is charged by the alternator whenever
the engine is running and should not require any
other charging. If the machine has not been in service or if for some other reason the battery has been
discharged, perform the following:
Check the battery fluid level. If the electrolyte level is
lower than 10 mm (3/8 in.) above the plates, add
clean, distilled water only.
Battery Specific Gravity
After charging, if necessary, the specific gravity of all
cells should be checked with a hydrometer. The temperature corrected specific gravity should be 1.260. If
the battery contains any cells with corrected readings
below 1.230, the battery should be replaced.
Do not check the specific gravity in a cell to which
water has just been added. If there is not enough
electrolyte in a fully charged cell to obtain a sample
for the hydrometer, add water and continue charging
for 1 to 2 hours to adequately mix the water and electrolyte.
