Pre-Operation & Safety

Test

NEVER perform this test from the platform.

1. On a solid level surface, install outriggers and

wheels.

2. Lower platform completely. Remove fill cap on

hydraulic tank and check for proper hydraulic oil

level.

3. Activate lift function on platform controller while

pushing level sensor out of alignment. Listen for

audible tilt alarm.

4. Platform should not elevate.

DO NOT use a machine that elevates when

level sensor is off of level or tension has

been released on an outrigger. Remove

machine from service and repair before

using.

5. Release level sensor and fully elevate platform.
6. Visually inspect elevating assembly, chains and

straps. Check for missing or loose parts.

7. Partially lower platform and listen for audible

lowering alarm.

8. Turn Emergency Lowering Valve knob to check

for proper operation. To close Emergency

Lowering Valve, turn the knob until it snaps

back in.

4. Install front wheels. Pin front wheels in place

using pins provided.

BE SURE all wheels are securely attached.

Pull on wheels to check for loose pins.

5. Lower screwjacks (turn counterclockwise) until

wheels are resting on ground. Be sure

screwjacks are high enough to avoid interfer-

ence with the ground when machine is driven.

DO NOT use machine if screwjack limiting

tubes have been removed. Remove ma-

chine from service and repair before

using.

IMPORTANT: All four wheels must be in solid

contact with the ground and each outrigger indica-

tor light must be lit before the machine is operated.
