Operation Instruction
5.1 Description
This machine is a self-propelled hydraulic lift equipped with a work platform on the end of an
elevating, articulating and rotating boom. Vibrations emitted by these machines are not
hazardous to an operator in the work platform. The machine can be used to position personnel
with their tools and supplies at position above ground level and can be used to reach work
areas located above and over machinery or equipment.
The primary operator control station is in the platform. From this control station, the operator
can drive and steer the machine in both forward and reverse directions. The operator can raise
or lower the boom or swing the boom to the left or right. Standard boom swing is 357 degree
non-continuous left and right of the stowed position. The machine has a
Ground Control
Station which will override the Platform Control Station. Ground Controls operate Boom Lift
and Swing, and are to be used in an emergency to lower the platform to the ground should the
operator in the platform be unable to do so. The Ground Control is also to be used in Pre-Start
Inspection.
Instruction and hazard warnings are posted adjacent to both operator control stations and at
other places on the machine. It is extremely important that operators know what instructions
and warnings are placed on the machine, and review these periodically so that they are fresh
in their minds.
The machine is designed to provide efficient and safe operation when maintained and
operated in accordance with warnings on the machine, in the Operation & Maintenance
Manual, and all jobsite and government rules and regulations. As with any type of machinery,
the operator is very important to efficient and safe operation. It is absolutely necessary that
the machine be regularly maintained in accordance with this manual and the machine Service
and Maintenance manual, and that any evidence of lack of maintenance, malfunction,
excessive wear, damage or modification to the machine be reported immediately to the
machine owner or the jobsite supervisor or safety manager and that the machine be taken out
of service until all discrepancies are corrected.
The machine is not intended to be used to lift material other than supplies which personnel in
the platform require to do their job. Supplies or tools which extend outside the platform are
prohibited. It must not be used as a forklift, crane, and support for overhead structure, or to
push or pull another object.
The machine is equipped with an auxiliary battery operated power unit which will provide
hydraulic power in the event of a primary engine power loss. Auxiliary power can be
controlled from either the Platform Control Station or the Ground Control Station. Follow the
instructions placed at the control stations.
The machine is hydraulically powered using hydraulic motors and cylinders for various
machine motions. The hydraulic components are controlled by electrically activated hydraulic
valves using switches and control levers. The speeds of functions controlled by control levers
