Introduction

This manual covers all models of the XRT Series

Work Platforms. This manual must be stored on the

machine at all times.

Pre-Operation and Safety

Inspection

Carefully read, understand and follow all safety

rules, labels, and operating instructions, then

perform the following steps each day before use.
1. Open modules and inspect for damage, oil leaks

or missing parts.

2. Check the hydraulic oil level sight gauge on the

hydraulic tank with the platform fully lowered.

Add hydraulic oil if necessary (see Specifications,

Page 10).

3. Check that fluid level in the battery is correct (see

Battery Maintenance, Page 8).

4. 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

fasteners are properly tightened.

6. XRT 27/33 (unless foam filled): Check tire pres-

sure; 65 psi (4,5 bar).

7. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for

damage such as cracked welds or structural

members, loose or missing parts, oil leaks, dam-

aged cables or hoses, loose connections and tire

damage.

8. Move machine, if necessary, to unobstructed area

to allow for full elevation.

9. Place chassis and platform emergency stop

switches in the ON position (Figure 1 & 2) by

pulling the buttons out.

10. Verify platform/chassis switch is on PLATFORM

(Figure 1).

11. Gasoline / Propane Models: set dual fuel selector to

desired position. Set to the center position to purge

the system when switching fuels. If the machine is

to be operated on propane, open the supply valve

on the tank.

Note: When using LP gas, use clean, water free liquid

petroleum gas, preferably from a bulk storage tank.

Follow the instructions located on the power module

tray for filling the tank.

If you smell propane, close the supply valve

on the tank immediately until you have

located and corrected the leak.

12. While the engine is cool check the engine coolant

level.

DO NOT check coolant when engine or

radiator is hot, hot coolant can cause severe

burns.

System Function Inspection

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.
