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
Electrocution Hazard Tip Over Hazard Collision Hazard Fall Hazard
This machine is not
insulated NEVER elevate the platform or drive
the machine while elevated unless
the machine is on a firm, level surface
NEVER position the platform
without first checking for overhead
obstructions or other hazards
NEVER climb, stand or sit on
platform guardrails or midrail
USE OF THE AERIAL WORKPLATFORM:Thisaerialworkplatformisintendedtoliftpeopleandtheir tools aswellas the material
used for the job. It is designed for repair and assembly jobs and assignments at overhead workplaces (ceilings, cranes, roof struc-
tures, buildings 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
electrical equipment!
Exceeding the specified permissible maximum load is prohibited! See "Special Limitations" on page 4 for details.
The use and operation of the aerial work platform as a lifting tool or a crane (lifting of loads from below upwards or from up high on
down) is prohibited!
NEVER exceed the manual force allowed for this machine. See "Special Limitations" on page 4 for details.
DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
NEVERoperatethe machinewithoutfirstsurveyingtheworkareaforsurfacehazardssuch asholes,drop-offs,bumps, curbs,orde-
bris; 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 the platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower the 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 se-
curely locked!
It is prohibited to keep the swing gate in an open position (held open with tie straps) when the platform is raised!
To extend the height or range by placing ladders, scaffolds or similar devices on the platform is prohibited!
NEVER perform service on the machine while the platform is elevated without blocking the elevating assembly.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly forcracked welds, loose ormissing hardware, hydraulic leaks, loosewire connections, and dam-
aged 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 platformare prohibitedor permissible only at the approval by UpRight.
AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning the keyswitch off and removing the key.

Notes
Notes are used to provide special information or
helpful hints to assist in aerial platform operation,
but do not indicate a hazardous situation.
■Operation
The RT aerial platform has built in safety features
and has been factory tested for compliance with
Snorkel specifications and industry standards.
However, any personnel lifting device can be po-
tentially dangerous in the hands of untrained or
careless operators.
Trainingisvitally important and mustbeperformed
under the direction of a QUALIFIED person. You
must display proficiency in knowledge and actual
operation of the RT before using it on a job site.
Before operation of the RT you must read and un-
derstand the operating instructions in this manual
aswellasthedecals,warnings,andinstructionson
the machine itself.
Before operating the RT you must be
AUTHORIZED by the person in charge to do so
and the operation of the RT must be within the
scope of the machine specifications.
Thepotentialforanaccidentincreaseswhen
the aerial platform is operated by personnel
whoare not trained and authorised.Deathor
serious injury can result from such
accidents.
Read and understand the information in this
manual and on the placards and decals on
the machine before operating the RT on the
job site.
■Maintenance
Everyperson whomaintains, inspects, tests, orre-
pairs these machines, and every person supervis-
inganyofthesefunctions,mustbeproperlytrained
and qualified to do so.
This Operators Manual provides a daily inspection
procedure that will help you keep your RT in good
operating condition.
Donotperformothermaintenanceunlessyouarea
trained mechanic, qualified to work on the RT. Call
qualified maintenance personnel if you find prob-
lems or malfunctions.
Do not modify this machine without written ap-
proval from the Engineering Department of Snor-
kel. Modification may void the warranty, adversely
affect stability, or affect the operational character-
istics of the RT.
■Responsibilities of parties
It is imperative that all owners and users of the RT
read, understand, and conform to all applicable
regulations. Ultimate compliance to OSHA
regulationsistheresponsibilityoftheuserandtheir
employer.
It is imperative that all owners and users of

applicable regulations.
Ultimate compliance to OSHA regulations is the
responsibility of the user and their employer.
ANSI Standard A92.6 clearly identifies
requirements of all parties who might be
involved with Self-Propelled Elevating Work
Platforms. EN280:2001(E)
AUSTRALIAN / NZ STANDARD 2550-10 also
identifiestherequirementsofallpartieswho
might be involved with Boom-Supported
Elevating Work Platforms.
Note - Standards
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that
the person operating the X33RT / X27RT is
provided with all the relevant information relating
to standards and codes of practice applicable in
their region.
❑In summary
●Only trained and authorised operators should
