WARNING
All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions,
and the Scaffold Industry Association’s MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES of ANSI A92.6-1999
before performing maintenance on or operating any UpRight Aerial Work Platform.
Safety Rules
Safety RulesSafety Rules
Safety Rules
•NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps,
curbs, or debris.
•NEVER operate the machine if all guardrails are not properly in place and secured with all fasteners properly torqued.
•ALWAYS close and secure the entrance after entering the platform.
•NEVER use ladders or scaffolding on the platform.
•NEVER exceed the maximum platform load. See “Specifications” on page 16.
•NEVER attach overhanging loads or increase platform size.
•LOOK up, down and around for overhead obstructions and electrical conductors.
•DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
•NEVER use damaged equipment. (Contact UpRight for instructions. See toll free phone number on inside back cover.)
•NEVER change operating or safety systems.
•INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged cables or
hoses, loose wire connections, and wheel bolts.
•NEVER climb down elevating assembly when the platform is elevated.
•IF ALARM SOUNDS while the platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower the platform. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface.
•IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push the Emergency Stop Switch to cut power to all machine functions.
•NEVER perform service on the machine while the platform is elevated without blocking the elevating assembly.
•NEVER recharge batteries near sparks or open flame; batteries that are being charged emit explosive hydrogen gas.
•NEVER replace any component or part with anything other than original UpRight replacement parts without the manufac-
turer’s written consent.
•VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using.
•NEVER tow the machine. Transport by truck or trailer only.
•AFTER USE, secure the machine against unauthorized use by turning the Chassis Key Switch off and removing the key.
California Proposition 65 Warning
Battery Posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
NEVER operate or drive with the
platform elevated unless on firm, level
surface.
NEVER position the machine without
first checking for overhead obstructions
or other hazards.
NEVER climb, stand or sit on the
platform guardrails or midrail.

WARNING
!!
STAND CLEAR of the machine while performing the following checks.
Before operating the machine, survey the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps,
curbs, or debris.
LOOK up, down and around for overhead obstructions and electrical conductors.
Protect the control cable from possible damage while performing checks.
1. Move the machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area to allow for full elevation.
2. Turn the Chassis and Platform Emergency Stop Switches ON by pulling the buttons out.
3. Check Level Sensor operation:
Figure 3: Level Sensor Location
a. Open the door.
b. Push and hold the sensor off of level.
c. Turn and hold the Chassis Key Switch to
CHASSIS and push the Chassis Up/Down
Switch to the UP position.
• The alarm should sound, and the plat-
form should not lift.
d. Close and latch the door.
4. Turn and hold the Chassis Key Switch to
CHASSIS and push the Chassis Up/Down
Switch to the UP position and fully elevate the
platform.
5. Visually inspect the mast assembly for dam-
age or erratic operation. Check for missing or loose parts.
6. Verify that the depression mechanism supports have rotated into position under the machine.
7. Partially lower the platform by pushing the Chassis Up/Down Switch to DOWN, and check the operation
of the audible lowering alarm.
8. Check the Emergency Down Valve for proper operation (see Figure 4):
a. Open the valve by pulling the knob out.
b. Once the platform is fully lowered, close the valve by releasing the knob.
9. Push the Chassis Emergency Stop Switch in to the OFF position. All machine functions should be dis-
abled. Pull the Chassis Emergency Stop Switch out to resume.
10. Turn the Chassis Key Switch to DECK.
11. Check that the route is clear of persons, obstructions, holes and drop-offs, is level and capable of sup-
porting the wheel loads.
12. After mounting the platform, properly close and secure the entrance.
13. Position the Lift/Drive Switch to DRIVE.
14. Check for speed and directional control.
• While engaging the Interlock Switch, slowly position the Control Handle to FORWARD then
REVERSE. The farther you push or pull the Control Handle from center the faster the machine will
travel.
15. Push the Steering Switch RIGHT then LEFT to check for steering control.
16. Turn the Lift/Drive switch to LIFT to check platform lift controls.
• While engaging the Interlock Switch, move the Control Handle to UP to raise the platform.
• While engaging the Interlock Switch, move the Control Handle to DOWN to lower the platform. The
platform should descend and the audible lowering alarm should sound.
17. Push the Platform Emergency Stop Switch in to the OFF position. All machine functions should be dis-
abled. Pull the Platform Emergency Stop Switch out to resume.

Operation
O PERATION
Before operating the machine, ensure that the Pre-Operation Safety Inspection and System Function
Inspection has been completed and that any deficiencies have been corrected. Never operate a dam-
aged or malfunctioning machine. The operator must be thoroughly trained on this machine.
T RAVEL W ITH P LATFORM L OWERED
1. Check that the route is clear of surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps, curbs, or debris.
2. Check that the route is level, and is capable of supporting the wheel loads.
3. Verify that the Chassis Key Switch is turned to DECK and the Chassis Emergency Stop Switch is ON,
(pull button out).
4. After mounting the platform, properly close entrance.
5. Check clearances above, below and to the sides of the machine.
6. Pull the Platform Controls Emergency Stop switch up to the ON position.
7. Position the Lift/Drive Switch to DRIVE.
8. While depressing the Interlock Switch, slowly push or pull the Control Handle to FORWARD or
REVERSE position to travel in the desired direction. The farther you push or pull the Control Handle
from center the faster the machine will travel.
S TEERING
NOTE: Steering is not self-centering. Wheels must be returned to straight ahead position by operating the Steering
Switch.
1. Position the Lift/Drive Switch to DRIVE.
2. While depressing the Interlock Switch, push the Steering Switch to RIGHT or LEFT to turn the wheels
in the desired direction. Observe the tires while maneuvering the machine to ensure proper direction.
E LEVATING T HE P LATFORM
1. Position the Lift/Drive Switch to LIFT.
2. While depressing the Interlock Switch, push Control Handle forward to UP, the farther you push the
