OPERATING SITE
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 6 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.
2. GROUND FLATNESS
The POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO must only be operated on at (0o chassis inclination) and level surfaces. The
allowable chassis inclination is indicated when the bubble spirit level is within the marked limits. All castor
wheels must be in full contact with the ground.
3. OBSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that adequate clearance is available above and around the platform before elevation.
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 2.5 m/s2.
LIMITATIONS
The POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO is intended for use INDOORS ONLY, and must not be used outdoors as wind forces
may make it unstable.
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
WARNING: THIS MACHINE IS NOT ELECTRICALLY INSULATED AND MUST NEVER BE USED FOR LIVE
LINE WORKING. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH, OR INADEQUATE
CLEARANCE FROM, ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS

SAFETY RULES
SECTION THREE | SAFETY RULES
NEVER Exceed the rated capacity (Safe Working Load or SWL) of the platform (240kgs).
Use the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO as a ‘crane’ (e.g. by suspending loads from beneath the platform).
Make any attempt to increase the working height or outreach of the platform (e.g. by use of
stepladders in the platform).
Operate the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO if the bubble spirit level is outside the marked limits.
Manoeuvre the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO on an inclined surface otherwise it may become uncontrollable.
Manoeuvre the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO whilst in its elevated position, as this may cause instability.
Manoeuvre the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO with a person or materials in the platform.
Enter or exit the platform unless the platform is in the lowered and transport position.
Apply external side loads to the platform or scissor structure.
Allow persons at ground level to operate the controls whilst the platform is occupied (unless in an
emergency situation).
Operate the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO outdoors, it has not been designed to withstand wind loading.

ALWAYS Undertake the daily checks recommended in this handbook p.9 prior to operation of the machine.
Ensure that all instructions, Safe Working Load and warning decals are clean and legible.
Ensure the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO is positioned on adequate ground to support the weight of the
machine.
Ensure that sucient clearance is given if working near to live conductors.
Ensure that the castor brakes have been locked before elevating the work platform.
Ensure that the platform does not come into contact with xed objects (e.g. buildings, etc.) or moving
objects (e.g. vehicles, other plant equipment, etc.).
Replace any removable guard rails (e.g. close and lock access gate) to enable full edge protection to
be maintained.
Ensure that the load is evenly distributed within the platform.
Ensure the safety of persons that may enter the area around the platform (e.g. cordon o areas to
prevent persons entering the danger area).
Ensure hands are kept within the connes of the handrail when operating the machine.
Ensure that the area below the platform is clear of obstruction before lowering.

DAILY CHECKS
SECTION FOUR | OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to operating the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO, the following items must be checked:
STRUCTURE (E.G. DAMAGE, CRACKS, CORROSION,
ABRASION, WELDS, CONNECTIONS)
PLATFORM (FLOOR, RAILS, HANDRAIL SOCKETS)
CASTORS (SMOOTH MOVEMENT, DAMAGE)
BRAKES
OIL LEAKS
BATTERY CONDITION
RAISE AND LOWER FUNCTIONS
EMERGENCY STOP AND LOWERING FUNCTIONS
SAFETY DECALS AND TRAINING CARD
If the above checks reveal malfunctions or damage on the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO, then the machine
must not be used until the problem is rectied.
If in doubt, seek further assistance from the manufacturer.
If safety decals are no longer legible or missing, please contact the manufacturer for replacements.
The Daily Checks page in Section 7 of this handbook may be photocopied to provide an aide memoir for
operators when undertaking these important checks.
MANOEUVRING THE PLATFORM
Manoeuvre the platform into position using both hands on the guard rails
at gate end. Take care to avoid trapping hands or feet whilst manoeuvring
the platform.
Never manoeuvre the POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO whilst it is elevated or with a
person, tools or materials in the platform.
WARNING: BEFORE OPERATING YOUR POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
ADEQUATELY TRAINED IN ITS USE AND HAVE FULLY READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS OPERATOR’S
HANDBOOK, PAYING PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO SECTION 3 - SAFETY RULES
Page 9 of 23POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO OPERATOR’S SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE HANDBOOK (v.0.4.0409)

ENGAGING THE BRAKES
SECTION FOUR | OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always ensure that both castor brakes are locked before elevating the work platform to prevent any
inadvertent movement.
The brakes are engaged by pushing down on the lever and pulling up the lever as shown.

BRAKE OFF BRAKE ON
POWERING UP
The POP-UP PUSH 6 ECO is provided with a key operated switch which is used to isolate the battery and
therefore the electrical system, preventing unauthorised use. To enable the electrical system, rst turn
the Maintenance Isolater switch to position ‘1’ (ON) and insert the key into the emergency stop button.
Turn clockwise to release the button. Ensure that when the machine is not in use, the emergency stop
button is depressed and the key is removed. Turn the Maintenance Isolator switch to position ‘0’ (OFF).
