Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
Tip-over Hazards
Occupants,equipment and materialsshall not
exceed the maximum platform capacity or the
maximum capacity of the auxiliary platform (if
equipped).Weight inthe auxiliaryplatform (if
equipped) is part of the total platform load.
Maximum capacity

SAFETY RULES
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above
horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface before raising the platform. If the tilt alarm
sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme
caution to retract the boom and lower the platform.
Donot rotate theboom while lowering.Move the
machine to a firm, level surface before raising the
platform.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
thatiscaught, snaggedorotherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnelmust beremoved from theplatform
before attempting to free the platform using the
groundcontrols.
Do not raise the boom when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed
28 mph / 12.5 m/s when the boom is raised, lower
the boom and do not continue to operate the
machine.
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.

5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a
pre-operationinspectionandroutinemaintenance.
Thepre-operation inspection is a visualinspection
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.
Thepre-operationinspectionalsoservesto
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.
Ifdamageor any unauthorizedvariationfrom
factory delivered condition is discovered, the
machinemust betaggedand removedfrom
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.

MAINTENANCE
Check the Engine Oil Level
Maintaining the proper engine oil level is essential
to good engine performance and service life.
Operating the machine with an improper oil level
can damage engine components.
Check the oil level with the
engine off.
1 Check the oil level dipstick. Add oil as needed.
Result: The oil level should be at the FULL mark
on the dipstick.
Kubota Engine Z482-E
Oil viscosity requirements 10W-30
Engine oil should have properties of API classification
CC/SE, CD/SE, CC/SF or CD/SF grades. Units ship
with 10W-40 SG/CC
Check the Engine Coolant Level
Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is
essential to engine service life. Improper coolant
level will affect the engine's cooling capability and
damage engine components. Daily checks will
allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant
level that might indicate cooling system problems.
1 Check the fluid level in the coolant recovery
tank. Add fluid as needed.
Result: The fluid level should be at the
FULLmark.
Coolantspecification 50%/50%
water and coolant
Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level 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.
1 Be sure the boom is in the stowed position, then
visually inspect the oil level in the hydraulic
tank.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within
the FULL and ADD marks on the hydraulic tank.
Hydraulic oil specifications
Hydraulic oil type Mil-5606H
Mil-83282D
Scheduled Maintenance
The scheduled maintenance items 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
inspection before placing the machine back into
service.

Function Tests
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
perform a pre-operation inspection and function
tests again before putting the machine into service.
Do Not Operate Unless:
