The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from con-
tact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by the Minimum Safe
Approach Distance section in Chapter 3–Safety.
Regardallconductorsasenergized.
Allowfor electrical wire sag and aerialplatform sway.
If the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial platform contacts a high-voltage electrical conductor,
theentire machine can become electricallycharged.
Ifthathappens,remainonthemachineanddonotcontactanyotherstructureorobject. This includes
the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any other objects that are not part of the aerial platform.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical shock
hazardresulting in death or serious injury.
Ifanaerialplatformis in contact with an energized conductor the platform operator must warn ground
personnelinthevicinitytostayaway.Theirbodiescanconductelectricitycreatinganelectricalshock
hazardresulting in death or serious injury.
Donotapproach or leave the aerial platform until theelectricityhas been turned off.
Do not attempt to operate the lower controls when the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial
platformis in contactwithahigh-voltage electrical conductororifthere is animmediatedangerof such
contact.
Personnelon or near an aerial platformmustbecontinuouslyaware of electrical hazards, recognizing
that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.

Prestart Inspection
Perform a prestart inspection before each shift as de-
scribed in Chapter 7. Do not use the aerial platform on
the job unless you are trained and authorized to do so.
Work Place Inspection and Practices
Do not use the aerial platform as a ground connection
when welding. The welding ground clamp must be at-
tachedto the same structure that is beingwelded. Elec-
trical current flow can be very intense, causing serious
internaldamagetosomecomponents.
Inspect the area before and during aerial platform use.
Thefollowingaresomepotentialhazardsthatmaybein
the work place.
• Debris
• Slopes
• Drop-offsor holes
• Bumpsandfloorobstructions
• Overheadobstructions
• Unauthorizedpersons
• Highvoltage conductors
• Windandweatherconditions
• Inadequate surface and support to withstand load
forces applied by the aerial platform in all operating
configurations
Beforeusing theaerialplatform inanyhazardous (classi-
fied)location, make certain it is approved andofthetype
requiredforuse in that particular location.
Knowandunderstandthejobsitetraffic-flowpatternsand
obey the flagmen, road signs, and signals.
While operating the aerial platform, a good safety prac-
ticeistohavequalifiedpersonnelintheimmediate work
areato:
• Help in case of an emergency
• Operateemergency controls as required
• Watchfor loss of control by platform operator
• Warn the operator of any obstructions or hazards
that may not be obvious to them
• Watch for soft terrain, sloping surfaces, drop-offs,
etc. where stability could be jeopardized
• Watchforbystanders and never allow anyone to be
under,or toreachthrough theboomswhileoperating
theaerial platform
ADanger
Pinch points may exist between moving compo-
nents. Death or serious injury can result from be-
coming trapped between components, buildings,
structures, or other obstacles. Make sure there is
sufficient clearance around the machine before
moving the chassis, booms, or platform. Allow suffi-
cient room and time to stop movement to avoid con-
tact with structures or other hazards.
Alwayslook inthedirection ofmovement.Drive with care
andat speedscompatiblewith theworkplace conditions.
Usecautionwhendrivingoverroughground,onslopes,
and when turning. Do not engage in any form of horse-
playor permit riders any place other thanintheplatform.
Secureallaccessories,containers,tools,and other ma-
terials in the platform to prevent them from accidentally
falling or being kicked off the platform. Remove all ob-
jects that do not belong in or on the aerial platform.
Never steady the platform by positioning it against an-
otherplatform.
AWarning
The potential for an accident increases when oper-
ating an aerial platform that is damaged or mal-
functioning. Death or serious injury can result from
such accidents. Do not operate the aerial platform
if it is damaged or malfunctioning.
Donot operate the aerial platform if it is damaged or not
functioning properly. Qualified maintenance personnel
must correct the problem before putting the aerial plat-
formbackintoservice.
Operation
Use three points of support when entering or exiting the
platform.For example,usetwo handsandonefoot when
climbingintothe platform.
Never cover the platform floor grating or otherwise ob-
struct your view below. Make sure the area below the
platformis free of personnelbeforelowering.
Keep both feet positioned firmly on the platform floor.
Operatethecontrolsslowlyanddeliberatelyto avoidjerky
anderraticoperation.Alwaysstopthecontrolsinneutral
beforegoingintheoppositedirection.
Do not dismount while the aerial platform is in motion or
jumpoffthe platform.
Properly stow the aerial platform and secure it against
unauthorizedoperationatthe end of each work day, be-
foretransporting, or if it is left unattended.
Tip-Over and Falling Hazards
Operatethe aerial platform only on afirm, flat, level sur-
face capable of withstanding all load forces imposed by
theaerial platforminall operatingconditions.Refer tothe

platform for elevated use near any drop-off, hole,
slope, soft or uneven ground, or other tip-over haz-
ard. Do not raise the boom in winds above 45 km/h
(28 mph).
All platform occupants must wear a fall restraint device
connectedtoa lanyard anchor point.
Itis bestnottotransferfrom theplatformto anotherstruc-
ture or from the structure to the platform, unless that is
thesafest way to do the job. Judge each situation sepa-
rately taking the work environment into account. If it is
necessarytotransferfromtheplatformtoanotherstruc-
turethefollowingguidelinesapply:
1. Where possible, place the platform over a roof or
walkingstructure to do the transfer.
2. Transfer your anchorage from one structure to the
otherbeforestepping across.
3. Remember that you might be transferring to a struc-
turewherepersonalfall arrestis required.
4. Use the platform entrance, do not climb over or
throughthe guardrails.
Donotoperatetheaerialplatformin windy or gusty con-
ditions. Do not add anything to the aerial platform that
will increase the wind loading such as billboards, ban-
ners, flags, etc.
Neveroperate the aerial platform without all partsof the
guardrailsystem inplaceand thegateclosed. Makesure
that all protective guards, cowlings, and doors are se-
curelyfastened.
Donot exceed the platform capacity as indicated on the
platformratingplacardonthe platform.Do notcarry loads
that extend beyond the platform guardrails without prior
writtenconsentfrom UpRight.
Do not operate the aerial platform from trucks, trailers,
railwaycars, floating vessels, scaffolds, or similar equip-
ment unless the application is approved in writing by
UpRight.
Do not use the aerial platform as a crane, hoist, jack, or
for any purpose other than to position personnel, tools,
andmaterials.
Donotclimbon the guardrails or use ladders, planks, or
other devices to extend or increase the work position
fromthe platform.
Take care to prevent rope, electrical cords, and hoses,
etc.,from becoming caught in or on theaerialplatform.If
the platform or booms becomes caught on an adjacent
structureor other obstacle and is prevented fromnormal
motion,reversethe control to free the platform. If control
reversaldoesnotfree theplatform, evacuatetheplatform
beforeattemptingtofreeit.
Electrical System
Chargethebatteriesinawell-ventilatedareafreeofflame,
sparks, or other hazards that might cause fire or explo-
sion.
Donotoperateanyof the aerial platform functions while
the battery charger is plugged in.
AWarning
Batteries give off hydrogen and oxygen that can
combine explosively. Death or serious injury can
result from a chemical explosion. Do not smoke or
permit open flames or sparks when checking the
batteries.
Battery acid can damage the skin and eyes. Seri-
ous infection or reaction can result if medical treat-
ment is not given immediately. Wear face and eye
protection when working near the batteries.
Batteriescontainsulfuricacid thatcandamageyoureyes
or skin on contact. Wear a face shield, rubber gloves,
andprotective clothing whenworkingaroundbatteries. If
acid contacts your eyes, flush immediately with clear
water and get medical attention. If acid contacts your
skin, wash off immediately with clear water.
Hydraulic System
Thehydraulic system contains hoses with hydraulic fluid
underpressure.
ADanger
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
enough force to inject fluid into the flesh. Serious
infection or reaction can result if medical treatment
is not given immediately. In case of injury by escap-
ing hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention at once.
Donot placeyourhand oranypart ofyourbody infrontof
escapinghydraulicfluid.Useapieceofcardboardorwood
to search for hydraulic leaks.
Engine and Fuel Handling Precautions
Refertotheenginemanufacturer’sOperator’s Manualfor
completeinformationon safe engine operation, mainte-
nance,andspecifications.
ADanger
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a poi-
sonous gas that is invisible and odorless. Breathing
engine exhaust fumes can cause death or serious
illness. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area
or indoors without adequate ventilation.
Operatedual fuel machinesonLPGfuel when indoorsto
reduceexhaustfumesand carbon monoxide.

Be careful not to run the diesel fuel tank empty. Bleed
the fuel system if air enters the lines between the tank
andtheinjection pump.
Allow the engine to return to idle before shutting the en-
gineoff.
Donot smokeorpermit openflameswhile fueling ornear
fuelingoperations.
Never remove the fuel cap or fill the fuel tank while the
engine is running or hot. Never allow fuel to spill on hot
machinecomponents.
Maintain control of the fuel filler nozzle when filling the
tank. Spilled fuel is a potential fire hazard.
Donotoverfillthe fuel tank.Allowroom for expansion.
Cleanupspilledfuel immediately.
Tighten the fuel tank cap securely. If the fuel cap is lost,
replace it with an approved cap from UpRight. Use of a
non-approved cap without proper venting may result in
pressurizationof the tank.
Neveruse fuel forcleaningpurposes.
For diesel engines, use the correct fuel grade for the
operatingseason.
ACaution
Engine coolant escaping under pressure can cause
serious burns. Shut the engine off and let it cool
before removing the radiator cap.
