WARNING

All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating

instructions, and the Scaffold Industry Associations MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES (ANSI

A92.5) before operating or performing maintenance on any UpRight boom supported aerial

work platform.

ALL occupants must wear an approved fall restraint properly attached to designated platform anchorage point.

Attach only one fall restraint to each anchorage point.

NEVER exceed maximum platform load of 500 lbs. (225 kg) and two (2) occupants.

NEVER exceed 45 lbs. (200 N) of side force per occupant.

DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.

NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs,

bumps, curbs, or debris; and avoiding them.

OPERATE machine only on surfaces capable of supporting wheel loads.

NEVER elevate the machine when wind speeds exceed 28 mph (12.5 m/sec.).

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push emergency stop button to cut power to all machine functions.

ALWAYS close and secure gate after entering platform.

NEVER exit or enter platform while elevated.

NEVER use ladders, scaffolding, or other items to gain height; work only from the platform floor.

NEVER climb down elevating assembly while platform is elevated.

INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, loose wire

connections, and damaged cables or hoses before using.

VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using. Refer to page 10 & 11 for label identification.

NEVER use a machine that is damaged, not functioning properly, or has damaged or missing labels.

IF ALARM SOUNDS while boom is elevated, STOP, carefully retract boom and lower platform without rotating.

Move machine to a firm, level surface.

NEVER attach overhanging loads or use boom as a crane.

NEVER alter operating or safety systems without manufacturers written consent.

NEVER charge battery near sparks or open flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas.

Introduction SYSTEM FUNCTION INSPECTION Note: Refer to figures 1 and 2 for chassis and platform control locations. This manual covers the operation of electric powered models of the AB-46 Articulated Boom. This manual must be stored on the machine at all times. 1. Before performing the following tests, check area around machine and overhead for obstructions, holes, drop-offs, and debris. 2.

Controls and Indicators 4 2 Operation Before operating work platform insure that: Pre-operation and safety inspection has been completed, and any discrepancies have been corrected. The operator has been thoroughly trained on the operation of the machine. The work area is clear of all obstructions, holes, drop-offs, or persons in the route of travel. The surface is capable of supporting wheel loads. Refer to figures one and two for control locations.

POSITIONING THE PLATFORM Positioning the platform as close as possible to the work area requires some planning. First, you must survey the work site to find a suitable place to park the machine. This must be a firm level area as close as possible to the work area. Take into consideration all obstructions on the ground and overhead and avoid them. Once you have moved the machine to a firm level surface as near as possible to the work area, follow the instructions on page five to position the platform.

Leveling the Platform Elevating the Upper Boom 1. Set the function speed control dial to the desired setting. Rotate the dial clockwise to increase speed, counterclockwise to decrease. If you are not sure what speed to use, start out slow; the speed can be varied while operating the function. 2. While depressing the foot switch, push the upper boom control lever forward to elevate the upper boom, rearward to lower the upper boom. Release the control lever to stop elevating / lowering.

EMERGENCY OPERATION Turret Rotation Gear Box In the event of powered function failure, the elevating assembly may be lowered manually by the following procedure. NEVER climb down the elevating assembly. If controls do not respond, ask someone on the ground to lower the boom manually. /8 in. Ratcheting Wrench 7 Lowering Elevating Assembly 1. Open the cover on the hydraulic module (opposite side of the turret from the chassis control panel). 2.

Transportation BY CRANE Do not winch machine faster than 3 mph. 4. After winching, insure that brakes are set. 5. Secure the machine to the transport vehicle using chains / straps of adequate load capacity (refer to specifications, back page) attached to chassis tie down lugs (see figure 6). 6. Place a wooden block (7.5" x 4" x 28") under platform support braces as shown (see figure 6). 7. Attach ratchet strap; under platform floor grating, over support braces (see figure 6).

Maintenance BATTERY MAINTENANCE Check battery fluid level daily, especially if work platform is being used in a warm, dry climate. If electrolyte level is lower than 3/8 in. (10 mm) above plates add distilled water only. DO NOT use tap water it will shorten battery life. Keep terminals and top of battery clean. TIRES Tire selection can affect the stability of the machine. Use only tires supplied by UpRight unless approved by the manufacturer in writing BATTERY CHARGING HYDRAULIC OIL 1.
