Safety Guidelines

Danger: Failure to follow safety rules and instructions in this manual can result in serious injury or death. Operators must be properly trained and authorized. Key safety considerations include:

• Electrocution Hazards: The machine is not electrically insulated. Maintain safe distances from power lines.
• Tip-over Hazards: Do not exceed the maximum platform capacity. Do not operate on uneven surfaces or in high winds.
• Fall Hazards: Use the guardrail system correctly. Do not sit or climb on guardrails.

Operation

The machine features ground and platform control stations. Operators must perform a pre-operation inspection before every shift. Key operating procedures include:

• Emergency Stop: Press the red emergency stop button to disable all functions.
• Platform Positioning: Use the lift/lower buttons on the control panel. Ensure the machine is on a firm, level surface before elevating.

• Battery Charging: Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area using an authorized charger.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential for safe operation. Operators are responsible for daily visual inspections, including checking hydraulic oil levels, battery connections, and ensuring all safety decals are legible. Scheduled maintenance (quarterly, annual, biennial) must be performed by qualified technicians.

Troubleshooting and Disposal

The control system displays diagnostic codes to assist in identifying faults. If the machine is damaged or malfunctioning, it must be tagged and removed from service immediately. When the machine reaches the end of its service life, follow local and state regulations for disposal.
