FOREWORD
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 Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) for its intended purpose.
This manual is considered part of the machine and must be stored on the machine at all times.
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 handbook has been read and understood
as well as having operated the MEWP 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.
Fall Protection Notice:
The guardrail system around the perimeter of the platform is the fall protection system for Mobile Elevating Work
Platforms per the MEWP standard. It is prohibited to use this MEWP with any portion--or all--of the guardrails
removed. Anchorage points are provided for work positioning restraints only. Lanyard lengths are to be determined
by the 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 THE
MACHINE TO TIP, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

2.2 | GENERAL RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
Custom Equipment, LLC designed the Hy-Brid Lift push-around scissor lift to be safe and reliable. It is intended for
elevating personnel, along with their necessary tools and materials to overhead work locations. Vibration does not
create significant hazards on this machine.
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 & 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.
DO NOT OPERATE MACHINE NEAR POWER LINES. THE PLATFORM AND ENCLOSURES ARE NOT INSULATED.
EQUIPMENT IS ONLY AS SAFE AS THE OPERATOR.

2.3 | MAINTENANCE LOCK
The maintenance lock must be placed into position whenever the machine is being serviced in a partially raised
position. Serious injury and/or death could result if maintenance lock is not used properly.
2.4 | SAFETY FEATURES
• Puncture-proof wheels.
• Guardrails—43.83 in. height with 6 in. kick plates
• Non-slip deck.
• Entrance gate.
• Automatic brake when elevated
• Free descent protection. A pressure compensated flow control valve is installed in the hydraulic circuit to
prevent the platform from descending in case of a ruptured hydraulic hose. The platform is hydraulically locked
with a check valve and has controlled descent when valve activates.
• 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.
SECTION 2 | SAFETY
WARNING
NEVER REACH BETWEEN SCISSORS LINKS OR PROP UP PLATFORM.

2.5 | SAFETY CONTROLS & INDICATORS
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. (See the “Operating
Controls & Indicators” section of this handbook for more detail.)
PUSHING THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON WILL STOP MOVEMENT IMMEDIATELY. 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.
Descent Alarm & Lowering Interrupt
An audible alarm sounds when the machine is lowering.
When lowering the platform, the platform will stop when the ends of the scissors are approximately 2 inches apart
for 3 seconds. The beacon light flashes to indicate the armguard delay. Release. Look around all sides of the
scissors to check for persons at risk. Then continue lowering the platform. If elevating platform less than 2 inches,
the lift will not descend due to the armguard feature. Elevate the platform higher before lowering, or use the
manual override in case of emergency.

SECTION 2 | SAFETY
2.6 | SAFETY GUIDELINES
Only qualified operators may operate this unit.
ALWAYS read and understand the Operation and Safety Manual before operating.
ALWAYS understand all decals and warning labels on unit.
ALWAYS prevent unauthorized use; when unit is not in use, remove key.
ALWAYS wear necessary approved personal protective equipment (PPE), i.e. head gear.
ALWAYS report any misuse of equipment to proper personnel.
NEVER work on platform if your physical condition is such that you feel dizzy or unsteady.
Use machine only for purposes for which it was intended.
ALWAYS distribute load evenly over platform floor area.
NEVER use the lift as a crane (by suspending a load from the platform).
NEVER exceed the load capabilities of the platform. (See the “Product Description” section of this handbook)
NEVER use unit as electrical grounds for arc welding.
NEVER override any hydraulic, mechanical, or electrical safety devices.
Tilt Sensor
If the chassis is tilted more than 1.5°, elevating function is prevented, and an alarm sounds. Lower the platform and
move to a hard, level surface before elevating.
Load Sensing
Movement is inhibited when the load exceeds the rated load and elevating is attempted from the stowed position.
When the platform is stowed, the overload indicator lights up to indicate that the load control system is functional.
Then attempting to elevate, if the load is less than rated load, the light will stop, and elevating may continue. If the
rated load is exceeded, the light will continue and the platform will not elevate. Remove the excess load before
continuing operation.
Automatic Brakes
When elevated, a brake is automatically applied to the rigid wheels. The manual parking brake on the swivel casters
should also be used. (See the “Operation” section of this manual).

SECTION 2 | SAFETY
Check job site for unsafe working conditions.
ALWAYS watch out for others. Keep others clear of operating platform.
ALWAYS avoid contact with fixed (buildings, etc.) or moving (vehicles, cranes, etc.) objects. Check work area for overhead obstructions or
possible hazards.
ALWAYS follow any applicable national trac regulations.
ALWAYS be on hard level surface before elevating
ALWAYS maintain a clearance between any part of the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus. Follow local power line
clearance regulations.
NEVER allow others to pass under a raised platform or position the platform over someone.
NEVER use outdoors. Lift is not designed for windy conditions or electrical storms.
NEVER operate on incline or uneven surface.
NEVER operate machine near power lines. The platform and enclosures are not insulated.
NEVER move the unit on a slope steep enough that the unit may become uncontrollable.
Equipment is only as safe as the operator.
ALWAYS make sure entry gate is secured before operating machine from the platform.
ALWAYS secure tools and materials.
ALWAYS maintain a firm footing on the platform floor and work only within the platform area.
NEVER use ladders or scaolding on the platform to obtain greater height.
NEVER enter or exit platform while machine is in motion.
NEVER mount or dismount a raised platform.
NEVER move the unit when in the elevated position.
NEVER move the unit with a person on the platform.
NEVER belt or tie o to an adjacent structure.
Before operation, ensure that the machine is properly serviced.
ALWAYS perform inspections and preventative maintenance at the recommended intervals. (See the “Daily Maintenance” section of this
