Introduction
This manual covers SL-26/30 Narrow Work Plat-
forms.
This manual must be stored on the
machine at all times.
Pre-Operation and Safety
Inspection
Read, understand and follow all safety rules
and operating instructions and then perform
the following steps each day before use.
1. Remove module covers and inspect for dam-
age, oil leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the
platform fully lowered. Oil should be visible in
the sight gauge. Add hydraulic oil, if necessary
(
see Specifications, back cover
).
3. Check that the fluid level in the batteries is
correct (
see Battery Maintenance, page 6
).
4. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for
damage such as cracked welds or structural
members, loose or missing parts, oil leaks,
damaged cables or hoses, loose connections
and tire damage.
5. Check that all guardrails are securely in place
with all fasteners properly torqued.
6. Check tire pressure (50 psi).
7. Place the Chassis Emergency Stop Switch to
the ON position.
Gas / Propane Model Inspection
1. Check fuel supply.
2. Check engine oil level with dipstick.
3. If equipped, check coolant level in radiator.
DO NOT check coolant when radiator or
engine is hot.
4. Set gasoline / propane selector to desired
position. Set to the center position to purge the
system when switching fuels. If the machine is
to be operated on propane, open the supply
valve on the tank.
NOTE: When using LP gas, use clean, water free
liquid petroleum gas, preferably from a bulk
storage tank. Follow the instructions located on
the Power Module tray for filling the tank.
If you smell propane, close the supply
valve on the tank immediately until you
have located and corrected the leak.
