T RANSPORTATION
CAUTION
The TL38 is not designed to be forklifted, and does not have provision on the Chassis to allow this
method of lifting. Ui recommends the procedure below for handling the machine.
WARNING
!!
See specifications at rear of manual for the weight of the work platform and be certain that lifting
apparatus is of adequate capacity to lift the platform.
B Y C RANE
The TL38 may be lifted by an overhead hoist crane in the following manner:
Two lifting straps capable of safely supporting the total weight of the TL38 (1468Kg (3,237lbs)), and at
least 220cm long are required. This minimum length is important to ensure the correct lifting angle. The
straps should be positioned as shown in.
The two lifting straps (Positions 1 & 2) should be positioned either side of the TL38’s axle assembly at
the points indicated. Care must be taken to ensure the straps do not interfere with any of the other part of
the TL38.
Two securing lines (Positions 3 & 4) should also be used when lifting the TL38 Work Platform. These are
used to maintain the balance of the TL38 but are NOT to be considered as lifting points. Position 3
shows the securing line around the Tow Bar where the Cycle Guard Frames meet. Position 4 shows the
securing line around the First Post. This line should be secured below the Boom Rest, however care
should be taken not to damage the Boom Rest Limit Switch or its cable on a TL38 with hydraulic outrig-
gers.
B Y R OAD
It is important that before commencing transport to ensure the vehicle used is capable of towing 2000kg.
The TL38 is a road approved vehicle and therefore may be transported behind a motor vehicle of suitable
towing capacity. It is recommended that the vehicle used should have a tow bar where the top of the ball is
at a height of between 1.42 ft (435 mm) and 1.64 ft (500 mm) above surface level. These dimensions are
important for the following reasons;
1. The bottom of the Platform may be in danger of hitting the surface while driving if the tow hitch is above
the upper limit.
2. The towing vehicle will support too much weight if the Towhitch is too low.

Page 10 TL38 Service & Parts
Transportation
Care should always be taken while towing the TL38 on an uneven or sloped surface. It is recom-
mended that the set of procedures that follow should be incorporated into a normal working prac-
tice for towing the TL38 Work Platform. The Procedures which should be followed when
transporting the TL38 are
1.The Platform is to be fully lowered, retracted and slewed in the correct position.
2.The Platform is to be securely stowed by closing the boom lockdown.
3.The Jockey Wheel that is fitted to the Towhitch is to be extended until the Receiver is close to the height
of the vehicle’s tow bar.
4.The Hand Brake is pulled to engage the brakes (important if the machine is not on a level surface).
5.The Outriggers are to be fully retracted and secured in position.
6.The key is turned to the off position.
7.Move the vehicle as close as possible to the Receiver.
8.Lift the Towhitch on to the tow bar and make sure the Receiver is properly secured.
9.Release the Hand Brake and retract the Jockey Wheel.
It is important that the Jockey Wheel is retracted as fully as possible so that the wheel will not slew (turn)
while being transported. Failure to do so could result in damage to the Jockey Wheel.
10.The tailboard harness is connected to the vehicle’s braking system by means of a 7 Pin Plug.
11.Attach the Breakaway Safety Cable to the towing vehicle.
The TL38 may then be towed.
If the TL38 is to be transported by other means then it must be securely tied down to the transporting unit
at several points.
Recommended securing points are the four outrigger support members on the Chassis and the Tow Bar-
weldment. Further securing points should be used if the terrain on which the unit is travelling is rough or
uneven. Care should be taken when using tie downs that sensitive parts of the TL38 (i.e. hosing, cabling
etc.) are not affected.
ALWAYS ensure that the Hand Brake is fully applied, that all the booms are FULLY stowed and that the
Boom Lock Down Pin is in place.
H OUR M ETER
To access the hour meter function perform the following steps.
1. Climb into the basket (with the machine powered up)
2. Push the platform emergency stop button.
3. Hold down the following buttons, Jib and Upper Boom Lift.
4. While holding the buttons twist the emergency stop button to return power to the machine.
5. “hr” will now be displayed on the readout, Pressing the right turn button will scroll through the accumu-
lated hours two digits at a time. For example, if pressing the right turn button once displays “20”, pressing
it a 2nd time displays “58”, and pressing it a 3rd time displays “hr”, the elapsed time of operation is 2058
hours.
