A
Caution
Cold hydraulic oil does not fl ow well and may pro-
duce improper generator output voltage. Improper
outlet voltage can damage some electrical power
tools and equipment. Warm the hydraulic oil before
operating the generator.
Do not operate the generator unless the hydraulic oil
temperature is at least 38°C (100°F). Refer to Cold
Weather Start-Up for a hydraulic oil warm-up proce-
dure.
Start the engine and place the machine/generator switch
(refer to Figure 8.10) in the generator position.
Figure 8.10 – Upper Control Panel Front
The engine will run at high idle while the generator is
operating. The generator will continue to operate as
long as the engine is running and the switch is in the
generator position.
Air Line
The optional air line may be used to conduct air for tool
operation at the platform. The input connector is at the
rear of the chassis and the output connector is at the
platform on the rotator guard. The maximum working
pressure of the line is 1,723 kPa (250 psi).
The air line may be used to conduct fl uids such as water
or antifreeze. Contact your local distributor or UpRight
for compatibility information before using the air line to
conduct other fl uids.
A
Caution
Fluid in the air line can damage some air tools or
freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the
air line after using it to conduct fl uids.
Use the following procedure to drain the air line.
1. Close the input connector on the chassis.
2. Open the output connector at the platform.
Machine/Generator Switch
3. Raise the boom slightly above horizontal.
4. Open the input connector on the chassis.
5. Allow the fl uid to drain from the line.
6. Lower the boom and close both connections.
Driving Lights
The optional driving lights are for use in dimly lit areas
and are not intended for driving on public roadways.
There are two headlights at the front of the chassis and
two blinking taillights at the rear of the chassis.
The lights are operational when the battery disconnect
switch and the master switch are turned on.
Note
Working with the driving or platform work lights on, while
the engine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that
the engine will not start or the emergency power system
will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while
the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15
minutes each hour.
Platform Work Lights
The optional platform work lights (refer to fi gure 8.11)
are located on the top rail of the platform next to the
upper controls. The direction a light points can be ad-
justed by using two 1 /
2
″ wrenches to loosen the clamp
below the light.
Figure 8.11 – Platform Work Lights
The lights are operational when the upper controls
emergency stop button is pulled up and the anti-restart
master switch is turned on.
The engine speed increases to high idle when the plat-
form work lights are turned on.
