SAFETY RULES
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in a stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and
near holes and drop-offs.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
groundcontrols.
Do not push off or pull
toward any object outside
of the platform.
Maximum allowable
manual force - Australia
2 person 90 lbs / 400 N
1 person 45 lbs / 200 N
Do not alter or disable machine components that in
any way affect safety and stability.
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform.
Mounting attachments for holding tools or other
materials onto the platform, toeboards or guard rail
system can increase the weight in the platform and
the surface area of the platform or the load.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on
a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds on the chassis only when the
machine is on a slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform. Move the machine to a firm,
level surface. If the tilt alarm sounds when the
platform is raised, use extreme caution to lower the
platform.
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not drive over 0.5 mph / 0.7 km/h with the
platformraised.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the surface area of the
platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed to
the wind will decrease machine stability.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the platform raised.

Pre-operation Inspection
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Alwaysperformapre-operation
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.

Observe and Obey:
Only routine maintenance items specified in this
manual shall be performed by the operator.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
completed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer's specifications
and the requirements specified in the
responsibilitiesmanual.
MaintenanceSymbolsLegend
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
free of corrosion.
3 Be sure that the battery hold downs and cable
connections are tight.
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.

Fundamentals
The Function Tests are designed to discover any
malfunctions before the machine is put into
service. The operator must follow the step-by-step
instructions to test all machine functions.
A malfunctioning machine must never be used. If
malfunctions are 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
