NOTES
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 Custom Equipment Hy-Brid Lift for its intended purpose, and to position
personnel and their necessary tools and materials.
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.
ANY MODIFICATION ON THIS MACHINE WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE
MANUFACTURER IS PROHIBITED.
Fall protection notice:
The guardrail system around the perimeter of the platform is the fall protection system for self-propelled elevating
work platforms per the ANSI/SIA A92.6 Standard. It is prohibited to use an Aerial Work Platform manufactured
by Custom Equipment, LLC. With any portion—or all—of the guardrails removed. Lanyard anchorage points on
this type of equipment are not required to conform to the applicable standard. However, if anchorage points for
lanyard attachments are required by site authorities or other regulations, the anchorage points on all equipment
manufactured by Custom Equipment, LLC. Are recommended to be used for work positioning restraints of
personnel only. Lanyard lengths are to be determined by 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 MACHINE TO TIP, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

SECTION 1 | PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 | GENERAL
Custom Equipment’s Hy-Brid Lifts are aerial work platforms designed to be safe and reliable. The purpose of the
machine is to elevate personnel, along with their necessary tools and materials to overhead work locations.
Manufacturer approval is required for any use other than the intended use.
Before operation, the operator must read and understand the manufacturer’s operating instructions and user’s safety
rules, or have them explained, understand all labels, warnings, and instructions displayed on the aerial platform or
have them explained, ensure that all occupant of the aerial platform wear appropriate protective equipment for the
conditions, including the environment in which the aerial platform will be operated.
The operator must inspect the workplace for environmental hazards such as, but not limited to drop-os, holes,
slopes, debris, floor or overhead obstructions, surface, wind and weather conditions, or presence of unauthorized
persons. Vibration does not create significant hazards on this machine.

2.1 | SAFETY SYMBOLS
Warnings and instructions that have a direct impact on safety are identified with the following signals:
2.2 | GENERAL RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
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, 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.
NEVER REACH BETWEEN SCISSORS LINKS OR PROP UP PLATFORM.
STEERING BRACKETS EXTENDING BEYOND THE SIDES OF THE BASE MAY OCCUR IN TIGHT TURNING
SITUATIONS.

SECTION 2 | SAFETY
TIGHT TURNING WARNING - Potential damage to walls, etc., may occur in tight turning situations due to the
steering brackets extending beyond the sides of the base.
2.3 | SAFETY FEATURES
• Puncture-proof Wheels.
• Guardrails—43.3 in (1.1 m) height with 6 in (15 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
descending in case of a ruptured hydraulic hose. The platform is hydraulically locked until hose has been
replaced. DO NOT attempt to climb down o of platform. Risk of falling may occur. Wait for help to arrive!
• 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.
2.4 | SAFETY INDICATORS & INTERLOCKS
Tilt Alarm
An audible alarm sounds when the machine is tilted, elevating fuctions will not function. Lower the platform and
move to a level surface immediately.
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 not function. Lower the machine and do not operate until the problem
is repaired or the obstruction is removed.

2.5 | SAFETY CONTROLS
Descent - Manual Override
For manually lowering the scissors, a manual valve on the pump is provided. To lower the scissors, pull the cable
located near the rear of the machine.
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.
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.
PUSHING THE EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON WILL APPLY BRAKES 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.

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.
To limit caster swivel when loading or unloading, the maintenance lock pins may be placed in the designated hole
to lock the casters when the casters are turned straight.
The machine can be pushed by releasing the parking brake at the rear of the machine. Pull both levers away from
the floor. To resume normal operation, make sure both levers are down. Do not attempt to push or tow unit with
the brakes applied. Do not push at speeds more than 2 mph (0.9 m/s). Severe gear damage will occur. Towing is
not recommended.
NOTE: The drive system will not function if the parking brake is in the up release position.
