Section 1 - About Your Aerial Platform Read and Heed
SKYJACK is continuously improving and expanding product features on its equipment, therefore, specifications
and dimensions are subject to change without notice.
Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) Definition
A mobile device that has a positionable platform supported from ground level by a structure.
Purpose of Equipment
The SKYJACK Rough Terrain Compact Series MEWP is designed to transport and raise personnel, tools and
materials to overhead work areas.
Use of Equipment
The MEWP is a highly maneuverable, mobile work station. Work platform elevation and elevated driving must only
be done on a firm, level surface. It can be driven over uneven terrain only when the platform is fully lowered.
Manual
The operating manual is considered a fundamental part of the MEWP. It is a very important way to communicate
necessary safety information to users and operators. A complete and legible copy of this manual must be kept in
the provided weather-resistant storage compartment on the MEWP at all times.
Operator
The operator must read and completely understand both this operating manual and the safety panel label located
on the platform and all other warnings in this manual and on the MEWP. Compare the labels on the MEWP with the
labels found within this manual. If any labels are damaged or missing, replace them immediately.
Service Policy and Warranty
SKYJACK warrants each new SJRT Compact Series MEWP to be free of defective parts and workmanship for the
first 24 months. Any defective part will be replaced or repaired by your local SKYJACK dealer at no charge for parts
or labor. Contact the SKYJACK Service Department for warranty statement extensions or exclusions.
Optional Accessories
The SKYJACK MEWP is designed to accept a variety of optional accessories. These are listed under “Standard
and Optional Features” in Table 4.1. Operating instructions for these options (if equipped) are located in Section 3
of this manual.
For non-standard components or systems, contact the SKYJACK Service Department at
(: 61 (0) 28786 3200

WARNING
Failure to comply with your required responsibilities in the use and operation of the MEWP could
result in death or serious injury!
Operator Safety Reminders
A study conducted by St. Paul Travelers showed that most accidents are caused by the failure of the operator to
follow simple and fundamental safety rules and precautions.
You, as a careful operator, are the best insurance against an accident. Therefore, proper usage of this MEWP is
mandatory. The following pages of this manual should be read and understood completely before operating the
MEWP.
Common sense dictates the use of protective clothing when working on or near machinery. Use appropriate safety
devices to protect your eyes, ears, hands, feet and body.
Any modifications from the original design are strictly forbidden without written permission from SKYJACK.
Electrocution Hazard
This MEWP is not electrically insulated. Maintain a Minimum Safe Approach Distance (MSAD) from energized
power lines and parts as listed below. The operator must allow for the platform to sway, rock or sag. This MEWP
does not provide protection from contact with or proximity to an electrically charged conductor.
DO NOT USE THE MEWP AS A GROUND FOR WELDING.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MEWP DURING LIGHTNING OR STORMS.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MEWP NEAR POWER LINES. MAINTAIN A MININUM SAFE APPROACH
DISTANCE (MSAD) FROM ENERGIZED POWER LINES.

2.2 Component Identification
The following descriptions are for identification,
explanation and locating purposes only.
2.2-1 Main Power Disconnect Switch
This switch is located at the left side of the engine
compartment.

Figure 2-1. Main Power Disconnect Switch
1. Main Power Disconnect Switch - This switch,
when in “ ” off position, disconnects power to
all circuits. Switch must be in “ ” on position to
operate any circuit. Turn switch “ ” off when
transporting MEWP.
2.2-2 Motion Alarm
The alarm produces an audible sound when any control
function is selected. On MEWPs with certain options, a
flashing amber light will accompany this alarm.
2.2-3 Tilt Alarm
The MEWP is equipped with a device which senses
when the MEWP is on a slope in any direction. It is
designed to alarm and prevent driving or lifting if the
slope exceeds the limits specified in
Table 4.4.
NOTE
If the tilt alarm sounds and the platform does
not, or only partially raises, immediately
lower the platform completely and ensure
that the MEWP is on a firm level surface.
2.2-4 Load Sensing System
This system is a safety device that prevents any normal
movement of the MEWP from a stationary working
condition after the rated load is reached and exceeded.
Refer to Table 4.4 for maximum platform capacities.
• When 90% of the rated load is reached:
The red power indicator light on the platform
control console flashes.
• When the rated load is reached:
An audible alarm sounds for approximately
2 seconds, 5 times per minute.
• When the rated load is exceeded:
The flashing light and audible alarm continue
and all electrically controlled MEWP movement
functions stop. To resume normal operation,
remove the overload from the platform.
• If the MEWP during the operation comes in
contact with an overhead obstruction:
The platform could become overloaded and all
functions would stop. Release of the platform
from this situation can only be effected by use
of the emergency lowering system. Refer to
Section 2.6.
NOTE
After reaching full extension and upon
lowering, the MEWP could stop and take an
overload reading. Return the proportional
controller to the neutral center position,
and release the enable trigger switch. If the
MEWP is overloaded, the flashing light and
audible alarm continue and all electrically
controlled MEWP movement functions stop.
To resume normal operation, remove the
overload from the platform.
