OPERATION MANUAL
WARNING
All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules and operating instructions
before operating or performing maintenance on any UpRight aerial work platform.
Safety Rules
USE OF THE AERIAL WORK PLATFORM: This aerial work platform is intended to lift persons and his tools as well as the material used
for the job. It is designed for repair and assembly jobs and assignments at overhead workplaces (ceilings, cranes, roof structures, build-
ings etc.). All other uses of the aerial work platform are prohibited!
THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED! For this reason it is imperative to keep a safe distance from live parts of electri-
cal equipment!
Exceeding the specified permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Platform Capacity” on page 4 for details.
The use and operation of the aerial work platform as a lifting tool or a crane is prohibited!
NEVER exceed the manual force allowed for this machine. See “Manual Force” on page 4 for details.
DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps, curbs, or debris;
and avoiding them.
OPERATE machine only on surfaces capable of supporting wheel loads.
NEVER operate the machine when wind speeds exceed this machine’s wind rating. See “Beaufort Scale” on page 4 for details.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push EMERGENCY STOP switch to deactivate all powered functions.
IF ALARM SOUNDS while platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower platform. Move machine to a firm, level surface.
Climbing up the railing of the platform, standing on or stepping from the platform onto buildings, steel or prefab concrete structures, etc.,
is prohibited!
Dismantling the swing gate or other railing components is prohibited! Always make certain that the swing gate is closed and securely
locked!
It is prohibited to keep the swing gate in an open position when the platform is raised!
To extend the height or the range by placing of ladders, scaffolds or similar devices on the platform is prohibited!
NEVER perform service on machine while platform is elevated without blocking elevating assembly.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, loose wire connections, and damaged
cables or hoses before using.
VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using.
NEVER use a machine that is damaged, not functioning properly, or has damaged or missing labels.
To bypass any safety equipment is prohibited and presents a danger for the persons on the aerial work platform and in its working range.
NEVER charge batteries near sparks or open flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas.
Modifications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by UpRight.
AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning both keyswitches off and removing key.
NEVER elevate the platform or drive
the machine while elevated unless
the machine is on a firm, level
surface.
NEVER climb, stand, or sit on
platform guardrails or midrail.
NEVER position the platform
without first checking for overhead
obstructions or other hazards.

3. The platform will stop when it reaches the PPE cutout height. Inspect around the machine to ensure no
one is in contact with the machine. After a four-second time delay, lower the platform as in step 2.
E MERGENCY L OWERING
WARNING
!!
If the platform should fail to lower, NEVER climb down the elevating assembly.
Stand clear of the elevating assembly while operating the Emergency Lowering Valve Knob.
Figure 4:
Emergency Lowering
The Emergency Lowering Valve Knob is located
beside the ladder at the rear of the machine.
1. Open the Emergency Lowering Valve by pulling
and holding the knob.
2. To close, release the knob. The platform will not
elevate if the Emergency Lowering Valve is open.

P ARKING B RAKE R ELEASE
Perform the following only when the machine will not operate under its own power and it is necessary to
move the machine or when winching onto a transport vehicle (see “Transporting the Work Platform” on
page 12).
IMPORTANT:
Do Not release the parking brakes if the machine is on a slope.
WARNING
!!
Never winch or move the machine faster than 0,3 m/sec. (1 ft./sec.).
Never operate the machine with the parking brakes released. Serious injury or damage could result.
The parking brakes are integral to the drive motors. Each drive motor has two brake release nuts. Release
and engage the parking brakes one wheel at a time. Turn the brake release nuts in stages (½ turn at a
time) to prevent possible binding of the brake mechanism.

RAKE
The front wheel motors each have two brake
release nuts.
IMPORTANT: Turn the nuts alternately in ½ turn
increments to insure uniform adjustment and prevent
binding.
1. Chock the rear wheels to prevent the machine
from rolling.
2. Using a 13 mm socket wrench, turn the brake
release nuts clockwise until they contact the
motor body.
3. Alternately turn each nut clockwise in ½ turn
increments until resistance is felt (approxi-
mately two turns).
4. The brake is released.

2. Using a 13 mm socket wrench, alternately turn
the brake release nuts counter-clockwise in ½
turn increments.
• Repeat until there is approximately 3.2 mm
(1/8 in.) between the brake release nuts and the drive motor body.
3. Verify that the brakes have fully engaged before operating the machine by testing their ability to hold the
machine on a 16° (29%) grade.
A FTER U SE E ACH D AY
1. Ensure that the platform is fully lowered.
2. Park the machine on a firm, level surface, preferably under cover, secure against vandals, children and
unauthorized operation.
3. Turn the Chassis Key Switch to and remove the key to prevent unauthorized operation.

NOTE: Never add fluid if the platform is
elevated.
Check the level of the hydraulic
fluid with the platform fully low-
ered. The hydraulic reservoir is
located at the rear of the
machine. The fluid level should be
visible through the side of the res-
ervoir, and must be between the
MIN and MAX lines
(see Figure 9). Add hydraulic
fluid if necessary.

WARNING
!!
Hazard of explosive gas mixture. Keep sparks, flame, and smoking material away from batteries.
Always wear safety glasses when working near batteries.
Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Thoroughly rinse away any spilled fluid with clean water.
Always replace batteries with UpRight batteries or manufacturer approved replacements weighing
26,3 kg (58 lbs.) each.
• Check the battery fluid level daily, especially if the work platform is being used in a warm, dry climate.
• If electrolyte level is lower than 10 mm (3/8in.) above the plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use
tap water with high mineral content, as it will shorten battery life.
• Keep the terminals and tops of the batteries clean.
• Refer to the Service Manual to extend battery life and for complete service instructions.

Battery Charger
Charge the batteries at the end of each work shift or
sooner if the batteries have been discharged.
WARNING
!!
Charge the batteries in a well ventilated area.
Do not charge the batteries when the machine is near a
source of sparks or flames.
Permanent damage to the batteries will result if the
batteries are not immediately recharged after
discharging.
Never leave the battery charger operating for more than
two days.
Never disconnect the cables from the batteries when the
charger is operating.
Keep the charger dry.
1. Check the battery fluid level. If the battery fluid level is lower than 10 mm (3/8in.) above the
plates add distilled water only.
2. Connect an appropriate extension cord to the charger outlet plug in the left module door.
Plug the extension cord into a properly grounded outlet of proper voltage and frequency

3. The charger turns on automatically after a short
delay. Look through the charge indicator cutout to
check the state of charge.
• 0 - 50% charge:
• First Light -BLINKING-
• Second and Third Light -OFF-
• 50% - 75% Charge:
• First Light -ON-

• 75% - 100% Charge:
• First and Second Light -ON-
• Third Light - BLINKING-
• Charge Complete
• All Lights -ON-
• The charger automatically shuts down to low cur-
rent after charging is complete and all lights turn ON.
• The charger continues at low current (equalizing charge) for 3-4 hours, then charging cur-
rent shuts off completely.
• Lights remain ON until the AC power supply is disconnected.
NOTE: The battery charger circuit must be used with a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) outlet.
NOTE: DO NOT operate the machine while the charger is plugged in.
