Original instructions written in English.
.
The purpose of this Maintenance Manual is to provide qualified service personnel with information for servicing and
maintaining Hy-Brid Lifts. All information in this manual must be read and understood before any attempt is made to
service this machine.
The operation and safety manual is considered a part of the work platform and contains instructions and operating
procedures essential to properly and safely operate the Custom Equipment Hy-Brid Lift. Users must read and under-
stand all information in the Safety and Operations Manual before operation.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
ANY MODIFICATION ON THIS MACHINE WITHOUT THE EXPRESS
WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE MANUFACTURER IS PROHIBITED.

1.2 | GENERAL RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING WILL
CAUSE DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY.
“DANGER” indicates an imminently hazardous situation,
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING MAY
CAUSE DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY.
“WARNING” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation, which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury
CAUTION
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING MAY
CAUSE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result
in minor or moderate injury or damage to
equipment
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, Inc. Conforms to specified ANSI & OSHA, it is the responsibility of the owner to instruct
operators with the safety requirements made not only by Custom Equipment, Inc., 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.
WARNING
NEVER REACH BETWEEN SCISSORS LINKS OR PROP UP PLATFORM.
CAUTION
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.

1.3 | SAFETY FEATURES
• Puncture-proof Wheels.
• Guardrails—42 in (1.07 m) height with 4 in (10.16 cm) kick plates.
• Non-slip Deck.
• Entrance Gate.
• Automatic Parking Brake.
• Free Descent Protection. A velocity fuse is installed in the hydraulic circuit to prevent the platform from descend-
ing in case of a ruptured hydraulic hose. The platform is hydraulically locked until hose has been replaced.
• Decals: Danger, Caution, and Warning decals are displayed at various locations on this unit.
• Key Switch Security. A key switch is required to prevent unauthorized use.
1.4 | SAFETY INDICATORS & INTERLOCKS
Tilt Alarm
An audible alarm sounds when the machine is tilted more than 2°. Lower the platform and move to a level surface.
Descent/Motion Alarm
An audible alarm sounds when the machine is lowering. Some models also sound an alarm when the machine is
elevating or driving.
Pothole Protection
Pothole guards are required to be in place when the lift is in the elevated position. If the guards are blocked or not
functioning properly, elevating functions will be inhibited. Lower the machine and do not operate until the problem is
repaired or the obstruction is removed.
Pothole Guard
1.5 | SAFETY CONTROLS
Descent - Manual Override
For manually lowering the scissors, a manual valve on the pump is provided. Lift the panel on the side cover and
locate valve on the hydraulic pump. Push and turn the knob located on down valve counterclockwise to open. Knob
will pop up. To reset, push and turn counterclockwise direction.

WARNING
IF PLATFORM SHOULD FAIL TO LOWER, DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO CLIMB DOWN THE BEAM ASSEMBLY. SERIOUS INJURY
MAY RESULT. HAVE AN EXPERIENCED OPERATOR USE THE
EMERGENCY LOWERING PROCEDURE TO SAFELY LOWER
THE PLATFORM.
WARNING
BEFORE LOWERING PLATFORM, RETRACT THE DECK EXTENSION.
Emergency Stop
This lift is equipped with two emergency stop switches, one at the platform control and one at the base control, that
when activated, will render the unit inoperable until reset. To reset, pull the button out.
WARNING
PUSHING THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON WILL APPLY BRAKES IMME
DIATELY. THIS MAY CAUSE UNEXPECTED PLATFORM MOVEMENT AS THE
MACHINE COMES TO A SUDDEN STOP. BRACE YOURSELF AND SECURE
OBJECTS ON THE PLATFORM DURING OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
1.6 | MAINTENANCE LOCK
The maintenance lock pins must be placed into position whenever the machine is being serviced in the raised or par-
tially raised position. Serious injury and/or death could result if maintenance lock is not used properly.

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 recom-
mended.
To release brake for winching or pushing, rotate brake handles. Do not push at speeds more than 2 mph (0.9 m/s).
NOTE: The drive system will not function if the parking brake is in the down release position.
