WARNING
Introduction
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety
rules and operating instructions. Perform the
following steps each day before use. DO NOT
perform service on the Work Platform with the
platform elevated unless the elevating assembly is
properly supported.
1. Remove module covers and inspect for damage, oil
leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the platform
fully lowered. Oil should be visible on the filler cap
dip stick. If necessary top-up using ISO#46
hydraulic oil.
3. Check that the electrolyte level in the batteries
is correct. (Battery Maintenance, Page 9)
4. Verify batteries are charged.
5. Check that the A.C. extension cord has been
disconnected from the charger.
6. Carefully inspect the entire machine for damage
such as cracked welds or structural members, loose
or missing parts, oil leaks, damaged cables or hoses,
loose connections and tyre damage.
7. Move machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area
where machine can be fully elevated.
8. Check that the surface is capable of supporting
the outrigger loads, and is generally level. Apply the
handbrake.
9. Check that all four limit switches are undamaged
and then taking each outrigger in turn, pull the
locking pin release lever out while simultaneously
lowering the outrigger leg. Ensure the locking pin
snaps into position in the lower slot. (See Figure 1).
10. Lower all screw jacks until the load is just removed
from the road wheels. Level the machine as
necessary using the bubble level on the chassis to
check in both longitudinal and lateral directions.
Retract the jockey wheel until it is clear of the
surface. For a more detailed description of this
procedure the instructions in the Operation Section
of this Operators Manual should be followed.
Do not use a machine that is damaged or
malfunctioning. Tag and remove the unit from
service until it is repaired.

for leaks, damage or erratic operation. Check for
missing or loose parts such as nuts, bolts and
circlips.
15. Test the Emergency Lowering Valves on the Upper
and Lower Lift Cylinder are operating correctly as
detailed on Page 6. PUSH/TURN the Emergency
Stop Button to identify that functions will indeed
cease when depressed.
