4.1 daIly checks
Manoeuvre the platform into position using both
hands on the platform guardrail uprights as
shown below. Take care to avoid trapping hands
or feet whilst manoeuvring the platform.
WarnIng
Never manoevre the BoSS X-Series machine
whilst it is elevated or with a person, tools or
materials on the platform.
Never attempt to move the platform on a
gradient without assistance. Always carry out a
risk assessment.
It is essential to carry out daily checks on the BoSS
X-Series machine to ensure its safe condition of
use including the following as a minimum:
Hydraulic oil leaks by visual inspection of
the floor around the base unit and by feeling
underneath the base unit tray
Loose electrical fittings and sensors by
visual inspection
Chafed hydraulic hose or electrical cables
by visual inspection
Condition of castors, tyres and brakes by
visual inspection
Structure – guardrails, platform, scissors
and chassis (eg damage, cracks, corrosion,
abrasions, welds, connections)
Visual inspection of the castellated scissor
nuts and the split pin retainers
Obscured, dirty or damaged instruction
labelling and plates
Emergency stop function activated on the
handset
Emergancy stop function activated on the
base unit
Emergency lowering of platform (see page 19)
Raise and lower functions including descent
delay (the raise and lower functions can be
tested by removing the handset controller
from its holder on the work platform and
using the controls whilst at ground level)
Without the swivel castor brakes applied
and on a level surface raise the platform
until, the auto fixed castor brakes are
engaged. Try to push the machine from
the left and right hand side of the gate end
of the machine to ensure the brakes are
functioning.
Switch on power and:
Ensure that the tilt sensor alarm sounds
to confirm operation
Check that the battery is fully charged
If the above pre-use checks reveal malfunctions
or damage on the machine, then it must not
be used until the problem is rectified. If in
doubt seek further assistance by contacting
Youngman.
If instruction labels or plates are no longer
legible or missing contact Youngman for
replacements.
