EQUIPMENT CARE
FINISHING OFF
Never push the equipment beyond its design limits. If it
will not do what you want with reasonable ease and speed,
assume you have the wrong tool for the job. Contact your
local HSS Hire for advice.
Keep the equipment clean, you will find this less of a
chore if you clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end
of the hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere clean,
dry and safe from thieves and unauthorised users.
Lower the cage and exit. Turn the unit off and as a safety
precaution, press red STOP button.
Collect all parts together and give them a final clean up
ready for return, to your local HSS Hire.

ENTERING AND LEAVING THE WORK PLATFORM
Always use three points of contact when entering or
exiting the platform, using the guard rails provided. For
example, use two hands
and one foot, as shown
below. Use the step
provided on the base of
the machine.
On entering the platform,
ensure that the gate is
closed behind you.
CONTROL PENDANT
The Control Pendant houses the platform raise
and lower controls.
Pressing the ‘UP’ button raises the platform.
Pressing the ‘DOWN’ button lowers the
platform.
Take care to avoid repeated jerky movements
which could cause unnecessary impact loads
on the structure.
The Pop Up Access Platform is supplied with a built-in multi
voltage automatic battery charger, for supply voltages
between 90V and 240V AC.
The battery charger is located on the underside of the
platform.
To charge the battery, follow these
steps:
1. Turn the Maintenance Isolator
switch to ‘0’ (OFF) position.
2. Connect the battery charger lead to
the platform at the point shown.
3.Connect the battery charger to the
power supply (either 110V or 240V AC
at 50 Hz depending on the mains
supply).
4. Turn the Maintenance Isolator
switch to ‘2’ (CHARGE) position.
5.The battery should be fully
recharged once the 95% LED is
illuminated on the charging indicator.
BATTERY CHARGING
A battery condition meter is fitted to the Pop Up as shown.
To check the battery condition, elevate the platform
from ground level whilst at the same time pressing the
red button above the battery condition meter. This is the
only way to obtain an accurate reading. The battery will
require charging if there is less than 4 bars on the
display. Do not attempt to use the machine in this state
as battery damage may occur. Never allow the battery
to run completely flat as this damages the cells and can
lead to premature battery failure. It is good practice to
charge the battery daily to ensure optimum battery
condition.
EMERGENCY STOP
An emergency stop button is provided on
the control pendant. Once depressed, this
isolates power to the raise and lower
functions.
To restore functionality, twist the
emergency stop button clockwise to
release the button,
as shown below.
Turning the Maintenance Isolator
switch to the ‘0’ position also has the
effect of isolating power to the raise
and lower functions.
EMERGENCY LOWERING
To lower the platform in the event of an emergency, a
control is provided at the chassis.
Turning the knob in an
ANTICLOCKWISE direction, as
shown, opens the lift valve. Once the
valve is fully open the platform will
lower, at this point please stand
back to ensure your safety.
Always close the valve after use.
