1. Open modules and inspect for damage, fluid leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the hydraulic fluid level sight gauge on the hydraulic tank with the platform fully lowered. Add
fluid if necessary.
3. Check that fluid level in the batteries is correct (see “Battery Maintenance” on page 15).
4. BiEnergy Models - Check the engine oil level and fuel level.
5. Check that all guardrails are in place, the slide-out deck extension is secured with the pin, and all fas-
teners are properly tightened.
6. Check tire pressure: 5,2 bar (75 psi).
7. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for damage such as cracked welds or structural members,
loose or missing parts, fluid leaks, damaged cables or hoses, loose connections and tire damage.

STAND CLEAR of the work platform while performing the following checks.
Before operating the work platform, survey the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs,
bumps and debris.
Check in ALL directions, including above the work platform, for obstructions and electrical conductors.
Protect control console cable from possible damage while performing checks.
1. Move the machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area to allow for full elevation.
2. Place chassis and platform emergency stop switches in the ON position (Figure 2) by pulling the but-
tons out.
3. Verify that the Platform/Chassis switch is set to PLATFORM.
4. Turn the Platform Controls key switch clockwise to ON.

b. Start from Chassis Controls
• Press the START button to start the engine, releasing the button once the engine starts.
c. Start from Platform Controls
• Turn the key fully clockwise to start the engine, releasing the key once the engine starts.
NOTE: If the engine is cold, depress the glow plug button and hold for 6 seconds to heat the glow plugs.

6. With the speed range switch first in HIGH TORQUE and then in HIGH SPEED, depress the interlock
lever switch and slowly push the control lever to FORWARD then REVERSE positions to check for
speed and directional control. The farther you push or pull the control lever, the faster the machine will
travel.
