RECAUTIONS
Always observe the following safety rules and
precautions when using the SL26/30SL Work
Platform:
NEVER
operate the machine within ten feet of power
lines ( THIS MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED ).
NEVER elevate the platform or drive the machine
while elevated unless the machine is on a firm, level
surface.
NEVER sit, stand or climb on guardrail or midrail.
NEVER operate the machine without first surveying
the work area for surface hazards such as holes,
drop-offs, bumps and debris.
NEVER operate the machine if all guardrails are not
properly in place and secured with all fasteners prop-
erly torqued.
SECURE gate across entrance after mounting the
platform.
NEVER use ladders or scaffolding on the platform.
NEVER attach overhanging loads or increase the
size of the platform.
LOOK up, down and around for overhead obstruc-
tions and electrical conductors.
CHECK all four tires for correct inflation, 3.4 bar (50
psi).
DISTRIBUTE all loads evenly on the platform. (For
maximum platform load, refer to Table 1-1).
NEVER use damaged equipment. (Contact UpRight
for instructions.)
NEVER change operating or safety systems.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds,
loose hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged control
cable, loose wire connections and tire damage.
NEVER climb down elevating assembly with the plat-
form elevated.
NEVER perform service on machine while platform is
elevated without blocking elevating assembly.
NEVER recharge battery near sparks or open flame;
battery emits highly explosive hydrogen gas when
being charged.
SECURE the work platform against unauthorized use
by turning the key switch off and removing the key
from the key switch when leaving the machine unat-
tended.
NEVER replace any component or part with anything
other than original UpRight replacement parts with-
out the manufacturers consent.
