NIFTY LIFT
GENERAL SETUP
1. Position the truck, at the work site, as required.
2. Apply the truck hand brake.
3. Switch off the engine and ensure that the
ground is firm enough to take the stabiliser pad
loads or tyre loads (depending on weather the
truck is fitted with stablisers or spring lockouts).
If the ground is not suitable, re-position the
truck.
4. Release the boom and basket tie down straps
and ensure that they cannot become entangled
with any part of the machine.
NOTE: IF TIE DOWN INTERLOCKS ARE
FITTED TO STABILISERS, TIE DOWN
STRAPS MUST BE FASTENED TO ALLOW
FUNCTION TO THE STABILISERS.
5. Start the engine and ensure that the
transmission is in neutral.
6. Depress the clutch pedal and engage the
power take off.
7. The engine will run at high idle for
approximately 30 sec while the system
pressure builds up.
8. Ensure that all emergency stops are reset.
9. Lower the stabiliser legs or engage the spring
lockouts (depending on which is fitted).

10. Ensure that the level of the vehicle is within the
safe operating range according to the level
bubble.

will not strike any object on the truck if the
EWP is slewed.
13. To operate a function, move the joystick in the
direction corresponding to the desired function.
14. When stowing the machine, ensure that the
tele boom is fully retracted, that the slewing
indicator arrows on the base are lined up and
that all booms are on their rests.
15. Fasten all tie down straps and tighten.
16. Raise stabiliser legs ensuring that they are fully
retracted or disengage the spring lockouts
(depending on which is fitted).
