------------------------------ “Serving the Greater Delta Area since 1979” -----------------------------------
Like anything else at our location, each and every piece of equipment has an inherent risk of operator error that can .
lead to accidents and injury. An aerial work platform (AWP), like other equipment when properly used by skilled .
operators, is relatively safe. However, should an incident happen, the chances of a catastrophic accident are greater .
than with other equipment. This statement applies to our “Bil-Jax #4727A”, Battery .
Operated, Towable Articulated Boom Lift. We have tried to cover safety information and .
issues as we know them at this time. With that in mind, please take a few moments to go .
over the information printed below. These recommendations are from the equipment .
manufacturer, the rental industry, trade magazine articles, insurance companies and our .
own staff. We have compiled them to help to lessen the chances of accident or injury! .
While our “Operational and Safety” information only hits a “few high point” and contains .
“some” useful information, we strongly encourage you to take the time to read and review .
The “complete” manufacturer’s “Operation and Safety Manual”. TRC also encourages .
Reading and reviewing the safety publication; Statement of Best Practices for Workplace .
Risk Assessment and Aerial Work Platform Equipment Selection. This booklet was .
developed to aid the identification of workplace hazards, offer guidance for workplace .
risk assessment and implementing control measures and assists in the selection of the .
most appropriate AWP equipment for the work required. If you should have any questions,.
please stop and call TRC immediately at our store location; [phone] or after hours .
at; [phone] or [phone]. Never use “any equipment” in doubt! .

of potential hazards and what could happen.
SIMPLE SERVICE - MACHINE MAINTENANCE;
…on extended rentals (more than 1-day) or if conditions warranty, closer care maybe needed.
1. Daily Service Checks; The following Maintenance procedures should be performed daily or before each
Operation. (see the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, pages; 26 - 29, for further instructions).
Hydraulic Fluid Level; The oil level “sight gage” should be Figure 4-2 Hydraulic Reservoir
“visually checked with the boom down and the trailer on
a level surface. When looking at the lift from the trailer
tongue end, the hydraulic reservoir will be on the left side
of the machine. It will be located directly under the side
cover. The hydraulic reservoir will be clearly marked and
the sight gauge will be recognizable. It will be facing
outward, located in the top left hand corner). The hydraulic
oil level should be visible in but not above the sight gauge.
If the hydraulic oil level is not visible to at least half way up
the sight gauge “contact TRC”… so that “we may correct”
the hydraulic fluid level. “Never attempt” to add hydraulic
fluid to this equipment.
Battery Charging;
** (see the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, pages; 3-8).
** (recharging instructions are on page; 9 - of these instructions).
The DC boom lift batteries should be recharged after each 8-hour work shift or more often if needed.
When the lift is not in use, the batteries should be recharged at least once per week. The normal charge
time is 10 to 12-hours. If the battery charge is extremely low, a full charge may take up to 24-hours.
WARNING; Recharge the batteries in a “well ventilated” area only. Do not charge batteries near
fire, flame or other ignition sources. Batteries being charged may emit highly explosive hydrogen
gas. Failure to properly ventilate the charge gases may result in serious injury or death.
2. Weekly Service Checks; Inspect all electrical wiring for cuts, loose terminals, broken wiring, chafing or
corrosion. Inspect transport hitch components for damage. Inspect boom lift for missing, loose or damaged
hardware. Inspect hydraulic system components; including pump, motor and cylinders for damage, leaks,
loss of pressure or speed and unusual noise or vibration.
3. Monthly Service Checks; Contact TRC.
MACHINE INSPECTION;
1. “Overall Visually inspection”unit for damages or worn parts; check for cracked welds, trailer tongue,
hydraulic leaks, damaged wiring, loose wiring connectors, damaged outriggers, etc.
2. Decal Check; verify that all decals are in position and in plain site. (refer to Manufacturer’s “Operator’s
Manual”, section 5 for decal locations). If any decals are missing or have been damaged, contact TRC
immediately.
3. Controls and Indicators; verify that controls and indicators at ground and platform control stations
operate properly. (as defined in the Operator’s Manual, section 4).

6. Hydraulic Leaks; This is best done by walking around the machine. Do not expose yourself to any potential
shear or pinch points. Check the hydraulic hose and fittings for leaks and damages daily. Always use
care when visual inspecting for hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin or
eyes and cause serious injury. Always wear a face shield or safety goggles for eye protection whenever
you are operating or “visually” inspecting the machine. Always wear gloves but avoid touching hydraulic
fluids. Use cardboard to confirm hydraulic fluids on machinery. Dispose of cardboard in a responsible
manner. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must be removed within a few hours by a doctor familiar
with this type injury. Do not operate this equipment if; damages occurs, leaks appear or if there are
any operational abnormalities or any controls malfunctioning. Stop immediately and contact TRC at
[phone], [phone] or [phone].
WORK SAFETY; (see the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, pages; 1-4 and 1-5).
ELECTRICAL; This machine is not insulated for use near electrical power lines and “DOES NOT” provide
protection from contact with or close proximity to any electrically charged conductor. Operator must maintain
safe clearance at all times (10 feet minimum) and always allow for platform movement such as wind induced
sway.
WARNING; The IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) states that an extended boom lift
should always be at least 50’ from electrical pylons and 30’ from cables on wooden poles. These
recommended safe distances meet or exceed those specified in ANSI standards and OSHA
requirements. Boom lifts are one of the safest ways of doing temporary work at heights, so the
burden is on “the operators” to stay safe near power lines and conductors are any other energized
source, etc. Electrocutions can be prevented thru proper planning, risk assessment and
management of work at height, including operator training and familiarization. Assume “EVERY
POWER LINE” is live. Always contact the power company before performing work near power lines.
IF machine contacts energized power lines, NEVER touch or operate until power lines are shut off.
Minimum Safe Approach Distances; (Consult the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, pages; 1-4).
Voltage Range Minimum Safe Approach Distances
(Phase to Phase) (Feet) (Meters)
0 to 300 V ………………………. Avoid Contact
Over 300V to 50KV ……………….. 10’ 3.05
Over 50KV to 200KV ……………… 15’ 4.60
Over 200KV to 350KV ……………. 20’ 6.10
Over 350KV to 500KV ……………. 25’ 7.62
Over 500KV to 750KV ……………. 35’ 10.67
Over 750KV to 1000KV ………….. 45’ 13.72
Always position the lift far enough away from a power source to ensure that no part of the lift can accidently
reach into an unsafe area. This includes full extension of the boom through 360 degrees rotation.
OPERATIONAL USE; Always report any misuse of the equipment to the proper authorities. Horseplay is
prohibited. Stay clear of wires, cables, eves and other overhead obstructions. Make personnel aware and
keep them away from potential pinch points, shear points and from potential crush hazards as indicated by
machine decals attached to the machine. Keep the safety bar lowered at all times unless personnel are entering
or exiting the work platform. Always keep personnel and obstructions clear of the machine when repositioning
or operating the boom and basket. Cordon off the work area surrounding the outriggers to keep personnel,
vehicles and moving equipment away from the machine. Always exercise caution when rotating the boom
(slew) from the ground control station. Watch for personnel inside the radius of the turret and boom arm when
rotating the boom lift from the ground or platform controls. Keep a wide stance to help maintain sure footing
on the work platform. Keep the platform and all work areas free of debris.
WARNING; “Welding Information” … Never allow electrode contact with any part of the basket if
welding is being performed from the platform. Never use the machine as a ground for welding.
Never use without the outriggers fully extended, locked and firmly based. When on soft surfaces, always use
outrigger base plates. Never operate on a slope exceeding 12.5 degrees. Never override or by-pass the
manufacturer’s safety devices. Never attach a safety harness to an adjacent structure, pole or equipment while
working from the boom lift. Never release the outrigger locks or move with a person or materials on board.
Never release the outriggers or move the trailer with the boom extended. Never stand or sit on cage bars. Work
only within the work cage and do not lean out over the cage to perform work. The operator shall not use railings,
planks, ladders or any other devices in or on the work platform for achieving additional working height or reach.
Never allow ropes, electrical cords, hoses, etc., to become entangled in the equipment, especially when the
basket is being raised or lowered. Always make sure all tools and equipment are safely stowed. Do not exceed
load ratings by transferring loads to the basket at elevated heights. Never use cage to carry materials and never
allow overhang of materials when raising or lowering the basket. Never push or pull with the boom or basket
and never use the boom to lift any part of the trailer. Never use the boom or basket to place a “dead man” load
(to prop up other items) against any structure, materials or equipment. Never climb up or down a down boom.
Never leave the keys in the boom lift while unattended or not in use. Never leave an elevated platform unattended.

WARNING; There are very few occasions
where this maneuver would be used. “Do Not
Attempt” this without direct TRC involvement
and approval.

I. RECHARGING LIFT BATTERIES;
(for further information, see the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, page; 22).
Recharge the “Boom Lift” batteries after each 8-hour work shift or as needed. When the “Boom Lift” is not in
use, batteries should be recharged at least once per week. Under normal circumstances, battery recharge
should take approximately 10-12 hours. However, a full recharge may take up to 24-hours, if the battery
charge is extremely low.
NOTE; TRC ask that the batteries be recharged overnight (when possible) before returning
the next morning. This will help us with our scheduling and allow quick turnaround to the next
customer.
WARNING; Recharge batteries in a well-ventilated area only. Do not charge batteries near
fire, spark or other potential ignition sources. Batteries may emit highly explosive hydrogen
gas while charging. Failure to properly ventilate the charge gases may result in serious injury
or death. Always charge “Boom Lift” batteries away from flammable materials.
To recharge the “Boom Lift” batteries as follows;
1. Move the boom lift to a “well-ventilated” area with direct access to a grounded 120 VAC electrical
outlet. Keep the boom and batteries away from open flames or other ignition sources.
2. Attach a 12 AWG (outdoor-rated) multi-strand, ground (3-prong) (figure; 3-7)
extension cord with a length no longer than 20’. Plug it into the Battery Charger Faceplate
cord with a length no longer than 20’. Plug it into the receptacle
located on the cargo plate in front of the turnable.
WARNING; Using an underrated or longer power cord will
reduce the output of the battery charger and may extend
the charge time or worse do damage to the battery
charger.
3. Plug the extension cord into the outlet. Verify that the green
CHARGING indicator LED is lit on the battery charger faceplate
(figure 3-7).
4. The Charging indicator LED remains lit continuously during the
first stage of the charge cycle. The bulk mode CHARGE CURRENT
will be displayed on the battery charger faceplate.
5. Press and hold the BATTERY VOLTAGE button to display the
detected battery voltage.
6. If a battery fault is detected, the appropriate fault code will appear on the CHARGE CURRENT display.
The red CHECK BATTERY indicator LED will become lit.
(sub to Table 4-1 for battery fault codes)
WARNING; Do not disconnect any output leads or connectors between the batteries and the charger
when the charger is on. To stop a charge in progress, always unplug the extension cord from the AC
power source.
7. When the battery charge reaches 80% of capacity, the yellow 80% CHARGED indicator LED will become lit
and the green CHARGING indicator LED will begin to flash.
8. When the batteries have reached a full charge, the green and yellow indicators LEDs will turn themselves off.
CC (Charge Complete) will appear on the CHARGE CURRENT display. After two hours, this display will fade
and the CHARGE CURRENT will read 00.
9. Unplug the extension cord from the outlet and charger receptacle on the boom lift.
CAUTION; Always unplug the battery charger power cord before moving the boom lift. Failure to
disconnect power cord will cause damage to the equipment.
2015 -BIL-JAX #4725A, “TOWABLE - ARTICULATE BOOM LIFT”- OPERATIONAL & SAFETY INFO…page 9 - 12

J. BOOM LIFT TRANSPORT - ROAD TRAVEL;
The boom lift trailer is a single axle trailer fitted with a two-inch ball hitch, surge brakes, breakaway safety cable,
safety chains, brake lights and side marker lights. Proper boom lift transport requires the correct hookup and
inspection of these trailer components before towing. Use the following procedure to hitch, tow and back the boom
lift trailer. When backing up, avoid sharp turns to keep from jackknifing the trailer and doing damage to the trailer
tongue, coupling and frame.
CAUTION; Obtain, read and obey all recommendations set forth by the tow vehicle manufacturer
before attempting to transport equipment. Verify that equipment weight does not exceed the vehicle’s
towing capacity. Exceeding the tow vehicle’s rated capacity may result in damage to tow vehicle,
boom lift and create a dangerous situation.
TRAILER HITCHING;
(For better understanding, please look in the Manufacturer’s
“Operating & Safety” Manual, this is a more detail illustration,
than figure; 3-8 on page 23).
1. Back the tow vehicle to the trailer. Verify that he ball
and hitch are in line and that the trailer hitch will clear
the ball. Jack up the tongue as needed.
2. Align the ball and hitch. Wrap and fasten the break-
away safety cable around the ball hitch.
3. Hold ball hitch release lever open and lower hitch
onto the ball. Let go of the release lever to secure the
ball.
4. Crank the jack down to check for secure coupling. If
jacking will raise the tow vehicle bumper two or three
inches, the ball hitch coupling is secure.
5. Pull the pin keeper and pivot locking pin, raise the jack
to the travel position and reinstall the pivot locking pin
and pin keeper.
CAUTION; Always cross and attach the safety chains before towing. Failure to attach safety chains
properly will allow tongue to drop in case of ball hitch failure, resulting in serious damage to the trailer
and equipment.
6. Attach the trailer safety chains to the tow vehicle. Make sure the chains cross under the trailer tongue. If
needed, cross the chains over then under the tow bar to prevent dragging.
7. Connect the trailer lights to the tow vehicle power plug
8. Check the position of the breakaway safety cable indicator block. If the indicator block is not in the brakes-
released position, the brakes may drag.
TOWING; We ask that you refer to the Manufacturer’s “Operator’s Manual”, (page; 23) for instructions when preparing
to tow the boom lift. The Lift should be prepared for road travel (see page 18). Place the loader boom and
outriggers in the transport position and the boom in the transport lock position. Approach intersections with caution,
observe speed and traffic control signs. Don’t speed. Know your stopping distance at a given speed. Avoid panic
stops and sharp turns. If travel backs up, pull over and allow other vehicles to pass. Avoid traveling on any surfaces
that adversely affect vehicle stability. The driver should be alert and aware of potential hazards when traveling. The
driver should also make use of their headlights and flashers when towing the boom lift. Try to avoid peak traffic time
movement; 7-8 am, 12-1 pm and 5-6 pm. Do not travel during “low visibility” hours and times; early morning, dust
dark, fog, rain, smoke, etc.) or at night. Use great care when turning, always use hand signals and turn signals.

Towable - Articulate “Boom” Lift ...
I have read or will read TRC’s “twelve pages” of operational and
safety information on this “Towable - Articulate “Boom” Lift” and I fully
understand or will understand this printed material as well as any verbal
instructions, before attempting to use or operate this equipment! I
further understand that TRC “strongly encourages”me to review the
complete Manufacturer’s “Operation and Safety” Manual, located on
board the lift and also available online, prior to use. That the information
printed in the proceeding twelve pages only hits a few of the high
points and contains “some” useful information but the Manufacturer’s
“Operation & Safety Manual” contains the complete instructions (OS
Manual is located on the machine). For additional safety… “we suggest”
using a (ground) spotter (a TRC trained operator) to help locate, recognize
and anticipate dangers that might not be seen or acted on by the basket
operator while working above the ground.
We TRC ask that you agree to faithfully abide by these restrictions and
guidelines to help lower the chances of an accident or injury to any
“qualified” participants using this equipment! That you further agree to
be responsible for the equipment, until “it is returned” to our store
location at 1560 Highway 1 South, MLK Blvd., in Greenville, Mississippi,
and checked in during our business hours by you (the customer) or a
representative or it is “picked-up” by TRC uniformed personnel (as
specified in the rental contract agreement)!
