Do not alter or disable machine components that in
any way affect safety and stability.
Do not place or attach fixed or overhanging loads to
any part of this machine.
Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or
against any part of this machine.
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform.

You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.

inspection.
Knowandunderstandthepre-operation
inspection before going on to the next
section.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a
pre-operationinspectionand routine maintenance.
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything
is apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator performs the function tests.
The pre-operation inspection also serves to
determine if routine maintenance procedures are
required. Only routine maintenance items specified
in this manual may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items and locations for modifications,
damage or loose or missing parts.
A damaged or modified machine must never be
used. If damage or any variation from factory
delivered condition is discovered, the machine
must be tagged and removed from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a
pre-operation inspection again before going on to
the function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
performed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer's specifications and
the requirements listed in the responsibilities
manual.

responsibilitiesmanual.
Maintenance Symbols Legend
The following symbols have been
used in this manual to help
communicate the intent of the
instructions. When one or more of
the symbols appear at the
beginning of a maintenance
procedure, it conveys the meaning
below.
Indicates that tools will be required to
performthis procedure.
Indicates that new parts will be required to
performthis procedure.
Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper levels is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil
level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic
system problems.
Perform this procedure with the
platform in the stowed position.
1 Visually inspect the oil level in the hydraulic
tank through the sight gauge in the side of the
powerunit module.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within
the full and add marks on the oil level indicator
decal.
2 Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.

Check the Batteries
Proper battery condition is essential to good engine
performance and operational safety. Improper fluid
levels or damaged cables and connections can
result in engine component damage and hazardous
conditions.
This procedure does not need to
be performed on machines with
sealedormaintenance-free
batteries.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with
hot or live circuits may result in
death or serious injury. Remove all
rings, watches and other jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries
contain acid. Avoid spilling or
contacting battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking soda
andwater.
Perform this test after fully
charging the batteries.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are
tight and free of corrosion.
3 Be sure that the battery retaining fasteners are
in place and secure.
4 Remove the battery vent caps.
5 Check the battery acid level of each battery. If
needed, replenish with distilled water to the
bottom of the battery fill tube. Do not overfill.
6 Install the vent caps.
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance
Maintenanceperformedquarterly, annually and
every two years must be completed by a person
trained and qualified to perform maintenance on this
machine according to the procedures found in the
service manual for this machine.
Machines that have been out of service for more
than three months must receive the quarterly
