INTRODUCTION
This manual covers the operation of internal com-
bustion powered models of the SB-80 Boom. This
manual must be stored on the machine at all times.
PRE-OPERATION & SAFETY INSPECTION
Carefully read, understand and follow all
safety rules, labels, and operating instruc-
tions, then perform the following steps each
day before use.
Perform a complete visual inspection of the entire
unit prior to operating. Check the following areas for
discrepancies:
1. Open panels and check hydraulic components/hoses
for damage or leaks. Check electrical components/wir-
ing for damage or loose connections.
2. Inspect chassis, axles, hubs, and steering linkage for
damage, deformation, buckled paint, loose or missing
hardware, and cracked welds.
3. Check tires for damage, punctures, and inflation;tire
pressure must be 100 psi (7 bar).
4. Check all hoses/cables for wear.
5. Inspect elevating assembly for damage, deformation,
buckled paint, loose or missing hardware, and cracked
welds.
6. Inspect platform and guardrails for damage, deforma-
tion, buckledpaint, loose or missing hardware, and
cracked welds. ensure that gate operates freely and
latches securely.
7. Check Hydraulic fluid level with platform fully lowered.
8. Check fluid level in batteries (see
battery maintenance
,
page 9).
9. Checkfuel level,add fuelif necessary (see
fueling
,page
9).
10. Check engine oil level.
11. Check air filter, replace if necessary.
12. Set gasoline/propane selector to desired position. Set
to center position to purge the system when switching
fuels.If themachine isto beoperatedonpropane,open
the supply valve on the tank
Note: When using LP gas, use clean, water-
free liquid petroleum gas, preferably from a
bulk storage tank.
13. Ensure that radiator is cold, check coolant level. Add if
necessary
.
SYSTEM FUNCTION INSPECTION
Note: Refer to figures 1 through 5 for chas-
sis and platform control locations.
Important: Before performing the System
Function Inspection, be sure the axles are
fully extended. For axle extending instruc-
tions, refer to “Extending and Retracting
Axles” (Page 5).
1. Before performing the following tests, check area
around machine and overhead for obstructions, holes,
drop-offs, and debris.
2. Turn chassis key switch to chassis, and pull outemer-
gency stop switches at the chassis control panel and at
the platform control panel.
3. Retract locking bolt. See figure 1.
4. Press the engine start button to crank the engine;
release when engine starts. If engine is cold: press the
glow plug button and hold for 20seconds prior to start-
ing diesel models.
5. Push in the chassis emergency stop button, engine
should stop. Repeat for platform emergency stop but-
ton. Return bothemergency stop buttons to the on
position, and start engine.
6. Operate each function switch to raise / lower, extend /
retract, rotate left / right, each section of the elevating
assembly and observe the operation of the machine. All
functions should operate through full cycle smoothly.
7. Turn chassis key switch to platform.
8. Mount the platform, and attach approved fall restraint
to designated platform anchorage point. Attach only
one fall restraint to each point.
Figure 1: Locking Pin
NEVER remove the cap from a hot radiator.
Hot coolant can cause severe burns.

If you smell propane, close the supply valve on
the tank immediately until you have located
and corrected the leak.
