BY ROAD
It is important that before commencing transport
to ensure the vehicle used is capable of towing
4,189 lbs (1,900 Kg).
The TL49 is a road approved vehicle and therefore may be
transported behind a motor vehicle of suitable towing
capacity. It is recommended that the vehicle used should
have a tow bar where the top of the ball is at a height of
between 1.42 ft (435 mm) and 1.64 ft (500 mm) above
surface level. These dimensions are also indicated below in
Figure 8. This is for the following reasons;
z
the bottom of the Platform may be in danger of
hitting the surface while driving if the tow hitch is
above the upper limit.
CAUTION
Transportation
BY FORKLIFT
The TL49 is not designed to be forklifted, and does
not have provision on the Chassis to allow this
method of lifting. UpRight recommends the
procedure below for handling the machine.
BY CRANE
See specifications (Page 16) for the weight of
the work platform and be certain that lifting
apparatus is of adequate capacity to lift the
platform.
CAUTION
WARNING
Shaft for the 17 mm type gearbox is shown in
Figure 6.
3.
Remove the wrench.
CONTROL FROM GROUND LEVEL
1.
Chassis Boom Controls are fitted in the Control
Module of the TL49 Work Platform. These should
only be used when no operator is in the Platform
(for maintenance/service or inspection purposes), or
if the operator has become incapacitated.
2.
It should be noted that in order to activate any of the
Lower Control Toggle Switches on the Lower
Control Box the Keyswitch, located on the Outrigger
Control Box, must be turned anticlockwise to the
CHASSIS
position.
3.
Use the appropriate toggle switch to raise or lower
Boom 1, Boom 2, Telescope or rotate as required.
AFTER USE EACH DAY
1.
Ensure that the Platform is fully lowered.
2.
Park the machine on a level surface, preferably
undercover, secure against vandals, children or
unauthorised operation. Apply the Hand Brake.
3.
Turn the Keyswitch to
OFF
and remove the key to
prevent any unauthorised operation.
4.
Recharge the batteries in accordance with the
instructions on Page 9.
The TL49 may be lifted by an overhead hoist/crane in the
following manner:
Four lifting straps capable of safely supporting the total
weight of the TL49 (4,189 lbs (1,900 Kg)), and at least 8
feet (2.5 m) long are required. This minimum length is
important to ensure the correct lifting angle. The straps
should be positioned as shown in Figure 7.
The four lifting straps
(Positions 1, 2, 3 & 4) should be
positioned at the points indicated in Figure 7. Care must be
taken to ensure the straps do not interfere with any other
parts of the TL49.
The four straps should be routed between the Outrigger
Footpad’s and the Outrigger Weldment.
