Custom Equipment, LLC
Original instructions are written in English.
The purpose of this Operations and Safety manual is to provide users with the instructions and operating procedures
essential to properly and safely operate the Custom Equipment Hy-Brid Lift for its intended purpose, and to position
personnel and their necessary tools and materials.
THE OPERATION AND SAFETY MANUAL MUST BE
READ AND UNDERSTOOD PRIOR TO OPERATING THE MACHINE.
• The user/operator should not accept operating responsibility until the manual has been read and understood as well
as having operated the lift under supervision of an experienced and qualified operator.
• Because the manufacturer has no direct control over machine application and operation, proper safety practices are
the responsibility of the user and all operating personnel.
ANY MODIFICATION ON THIS MACHINE WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE
MANUFACTURER IS PROHIBITED.
Fall protection notice:
The guardrail system around the perimeter of the platform is the fall protection system for self-propelled elevating
work platforms per the ANSI A92.6 Standard. It is prohibited to use an Mobile Elevated Work Platform manufactured
by Custom Equipment, LLC, with any portion—or all—of the guardrails removed. Lanyard anchorage points on
this type of equipment are not required to conform to the applicable standard. However, if anchorage points for
lanyard attachments are required by site authorities or other regulations, the anchorage points on all equipment
manufactured by Custom Equipment, LLC are recommended to be used for work positioning restraints of personnel
only. Lanyard lengths are to be determined by operator/owner to restrict the operator to the confines within the
guardrail system.
USE OF FALL ARREST SYSTEMS ATTACHED TO ANCHORAGE POINTS
ON EQUIPMENT MAY CAUSE MACHINE TO TIP, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

1.2 | GENERAL RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
An operator of any type of work platform is subject to certain hazards that cannot be protected by mechanical
means. It is therefore essential that operators be competent, careful, physically and mentally fit and thoroughly
trained in safe operation of this machine.
Although Custom Equipment, LLC conforms to specified ANSI & OSHA requirements, it is the responsibility of the
owner to instruct operators with the safety requirements made not only by Custom Equipment, LLC, but by the
various safety boards in your area, as well as additional requirements set forth by ANSI and OSHA. If you come
across a situation that you think might be unsafe, stop the platform and request further information from qualified
sources before proceeding.
NEVER REACH BETWEEN SCISSORS LINKS OR PROP UP PLATFORM.
STEERING BRACKETS EXTENDING BEYOND THE SIDES OF
THE BASE MAY OCCUR IN TIGHT TURNING SITUATIONS.
Potential damage to walls, etc., may occur in tight turning situations due to the steering brackets extending beyond
the sides of the base.

Custom Equipment’s Hy-Brid Scissors Lift is a mobile elevating work platform designed to be safe and reliable. The
purpose of the machine is to elevate personnel, along with their necessary tools and materials to overhead work
locations.
Manufacturer approval is required for any use other than the intended use.
Before operation, the operator must read and understand the manufacturer’s operating instructions and user’s safety
rules, or have them explained, understand all labels, warnings, and instructions displayed on the aerial platform or
have them explained, ensure that all occupant of the work platform wear appropriate protective equipment for the
conditions, including the environment in which the work platform will be operated.
The operator must inspect the workplace for environmental hazards such as, but not limited to drop-os, holes,
slopes, debris, floor or overhead obstructions, surface, wind and weather conditions, or presence of unauthorized
persons. Vibration does not create significant hazards on this machine.

SECTION 4 | TRANSPORT, HANDLING & STORAGE
4.1 | PRELIMINARY UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS AND DEALER INSPECTION
Maintenance locks must be engaged prior to inspecting or servicing the unit when the platform is elevated.
Inspect machine for any possible damage during shipment; perform pre-delivery inspection. See checklist in the
Maintenance Manual. Reset emergency stop switches, if necessary.
4.2 | STORAGE
After periods of storage or exposure to extremes of ambient conditions (heat, cold, moisture, dust etc.) inspect the
machine. Refer to the Pre-Delivery/Frequent Inspection Checklist of the Maintenance Manual.
4.3 | PREPARATION FOR TRANSPORT
Lower the work platform to the down position. Bring the platform slide-out extension into the retracted position
and lock in place. Turn the key switch to o position. Check the entire machine for loose or unsecured items.
Remove any loose items from machine.
The machine can be pushed by releasing the parking brake at the rear of the machine. Push both levers toward the
floor. To resume normal operation, make sure both levers are up.
Do not attempt to push or tow unit with the brakes applied. Severe gear damage will occur. Towing is not
recommended.
To release brake for winching or pushing
