SECTION TWO | SPECIFICATION
Select a site for the machine from which the platform will be able to reach the required work area. A visual
inspection of the operating site should be made before setting up the machine. Particular attention should be
given to the following items:
1. GROUND CONDITIONS
Ensure that the ground on which the POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO is to operate is capable of supporting the weight of
the machine (including the weight of the operator plus tools and materials). Be aware of oors or coverings (e.g.
manhole covers) that may not withstand point loadings exerted by the castor wheels.
An interlock system ensures that the stabiliser beams and legs are fully deployed before the work platform can
be raised. It is essential that each of the four stabiliser feet are located on rm, solid ground. The POP-UP PUSH
8 ECO auto brake kit enables the removal of stabilisers for use in 0m/sec wind conditions.
2. GROUND FLATNESS
The POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO must only be operated on at (0o chassis inclination) and level surfaces. The
allowable chassis inclination is indicated when the spirit level bubble is within the marked limits. All castor
wheels must be in full contact with the ground.
In indoor exposed wind speeds up to 12.5m/sec the POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO can be used with a stabiliser pack.
3. Obstructions
When manoeuvring, raising and lowering, ensure that there are no obstructions or persons that may be struck
by the platform.
NOISE AND VIBRATION
Noise levels emitted from this machine do not exceed 70 dB(A). Hand and arm vibration experienced on this
machine does not exceed 0.5 m/s2.
LIMITATIONS
The POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO is limited to operation indoors. The machine must not be used outdoors. Please
consult the manufacturer if you are unsure of any application for which the machine is to be used.
This machine has been tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) however, operation near to high
powered radio transmission apparatus (e.g. radar, antennae) or within strong electrical and/or magnetic elds
may aect some features of this product.
WARNING: THIS MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED FOR OPERATION WITHIN POTENTIALLY
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

ENGAGING THE BRAKES
Page 10 of 25POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO OPERATOR’S SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK ( rev.0.0.1.0210)
SECTION FOUR | OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always ensure that both rear manual castor brakes are engaged before elevating the work platform to prevent
any inadvertent movement. The brakes are engaged by pushing down on the lever as shown. Releasing the
brake is simply a reversal of the engaging procedure. Before operating please ensure that both of the manual
ENGAGE RELEASE AUTO BRAKES
AUTO BRAKES
On the latest models POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO is tted with a secondary automatic brake system acting on the front
xed wheels. POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO does not require stabilisers if these auto brakes are tted. An auto brake kit is
available to purchase. This system should be checked for functionality before attempting to use the machine. To
check, leave the rear manual brakes ‘OFF’ and elevate the machine approximately 150mm. Hold the handrail on both
sides at the gate end and attempt to push the machine. It should be dicult to push the machine if the auto brakes
are functioning correctly. Please consult the manufacturer if the machine is easily pushed. Before operating please
ensure the manual rear brakes are engaged. An auto brake kit is available for POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO for the safe
STABILISERS
DEPLOYING THE STABILISERS
Models of POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO, without auto brakes, are tted with four stabilisers,
one at each corner. All four stabilisers must be fully deployed before the platform
can be raised, as follows:
1 Pull out the red knob on the stabiliser beam housing
2Extend the beam until it locks into position
3Pull out the blue plunger on the stabiliser leg so that the foot drops to the ground
4Ensure that the plunger pin engages into the radial slot at the top of the leg
5Wind the handle clockwise until it is hand-tight
6 Ensure that the yellow stabiliser indicator lamp is lit
RETRACTING AND STOWING THE STABILISERS
When work is nished on the POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO, the platform should be lowered into its resting position and the
worker should exit the platform. Only then should the stabilisers be retracted and stowed. To do so:
1 Turn the handle anti-clockwise to loosen the stabiliser foot
2Pull out and hold the blue plunger
3Lift the stabiliser leg until it is in the raised position
4Release the blue plunger until it is seated in the radial ring around the bottom of the stabiliser leg
5Pull the red knob on the stabiliser beam outwards
6Push the beam back into its housing until it locks into the ‘transport’ position
Once the stabilisers are in position, the platform can be raised to the desired height.
