SAFETY RULES
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not drive over 0.5 mph / 0.8 km/h with the platform raised.
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds on the chassis and in the platform when the machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform. Move the machine to a firm, level surface. If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme caution to lower the platform.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty winds. Do not increase the surface area of the platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed to the wind will decrease machine stability.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All personnel must be removed from the platform before attempting to free the platform using the ground controls.
Do not alter or disable machine components that in any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability with items of different weight or specification.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain, unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions with the platform raised.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the machine in the stowed position across uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and near holes and drop-offs.

2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
Know and understand the pre-operation inspection before going on to the next section.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-operation inspection and routine maintenance.
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a machine before the operator performs the function tests.
The pre-operation inspection also serves to determine if routine maintenance procedures are required. Only routine maintenance items specified in this manual may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each of the items.
If damage or any unauthorized variation from factory delivered condition is discovered, the machine must be tagged and removed from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a qualified service technician, according to the manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are completed, the operator must perform a pre-operation inspection again before going on to the function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be performed by qualified service technicians, according to the manufacturer's specifications and the requirements listed in the responsibilities manual.

Check the Hydraulic Oil Level Check the Batteries
Operator's Manual
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic system problems.
Perform this procedure with the platform in the stowed position and the engine off.
1 Visually inspect the sight gauge located on the side of the hydraulic oil tank.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within the top 2 inches / 5 cm of the sight gauge.
2 Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.

Hydraulic oil type Chevron Rykon
Premium MV equivalent
Proper battery condition is essential to good engine performance and operational safety. Improper fluid levels or damaged cables and connections can result in engine component damage and hazardous conditions.
This procedure does not need to be performed on machines with sealed or maintenance-free batteries.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with hot or live circuits may result in death or serious injury. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries contain acid. Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are tight and free of corrosion.
3 Be sure that the battery hold-down brackets are secure.
4 Remove the battery vent caps.
5 Check the battery acid level. If needed, replenish with distilled water to the bottom of the battery fill tube. Do not overfill.
6 Install the vent caps.
Adding terminal protectors and a corrosion preventative sealant will help eliminate corrosion on the battery terminals and cables.

MAINTENANCE
Check the Engine Coolant Level
Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is essential to engine service life. Improper coolant level will affect the engine's cooling capability and damage engine components. Daily checks will allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant level that might indicate cooling system problems.
1 Check the fluid level in the coolant recovery tank. Add fluid as needed.
Bodily injury hazard. Fluids in the radiator are under pressure and extremely hot. Use caution when removing cap and adding fluids.
Scheduled Maintenance
Maintenance performed quarterly, annually and every two years must be completed by a person trained and qualified to perform maintenance on this machine according to the procedures found in the service manual for this machine.
Machines that have been out of service for more than three months must receive the quarterly inspection before they are put back into service.

Third Edition • Second Printing Operator's Manual
Operating Instructions
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
The Operating Instructions section provides instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the safety rules and instructions in the operator's, safety and responsibilities manuals.
Using the machine for anything other than lifting personnel, along with their tools and materials, to an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous.
Only trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to operate a machine. If more than one operator is expected to use a machine at different times in the same work shift, they must all be qualified operators and are all expected to follow all safety rules and instructions in the operator's, safety and responsibilities manuals. That means every new operator should perform a pre-operation inspection, function tests, and a workplace inspection before using the machine.
