If both the basket and ground control of the TEUPEN LEO 23 GT are unresponsive and the basket is in an unsafe position, use the emergency control mode:
1. Fully retract the upper and lower arms. 2. Set the platform-chassis valve on the valve block under the hydraulic tank to "platform." 3. Lock the power regulation valve beside the valve block. 4. Take the manual pump tube from its holder and attach it to the pump pinion. 5. Use the manual pump to perform downward, retracting, and rotating movements to move the platform toward the transport position.

Electric Power Supply 4. Electric Power Supply Power is supplied either via the local mains network using an extension cable (230 V) or by the mains- independent drive motor. As an alternative, a battery drive is also possible. If an extension cable is used, connect the plug to the socket of the extension cable.

Electric Power Supply 48-V battery drive: If the machine is equipped with a battery drive, the operating and maintenance instructions of the manufacturer of the battery and battery charger must also be complied with! Continuous operation via the electric motor is not permissible (danger of over- heating) Daily charging of the batteries is recommended if the platform is battery-driven.

Page 31
The Support System Make sure that the ground is firm, if necessary, increase the support area by means of planks. All supports must be loaded, the rubber chain running gears must be free! In order to increase the safety of the aerial work platform in slopes (skidding, stability), the ground disks must be aligned horizontally (see sketch).
The Support System 6.1 Bringing the Machine in Working Position -Observe the supports while they are extended and retracted To support the machine, position the supports at the required position and lock them properly. At the ground control panel, turn the key switch to "I" and the platform func- tion selector switch to "supports".
The Support System 6.2 Bringing the Machine Transport Position The upper and the lower arm must be fully retracted in the transport support! -Switch on power supply (see Chapter 4) At the ground control panel, turn the key switch to "I" and the platform function selec- tor switch to "supports".

Operation of Aerial Work Platform 7. Operation of Aerial Work Platform: Control from work cage To enable a perfect operation of the lifting platform, a proper working position of the machine and power supply are required. In order to maintain a perfect function of the control elements it is absolutely necessary to protect the control panel against water, moisture, paint, etc.
Operation of Aerial Work Platform In case the movement stops during a travel to the transport position, the upper arm must be lifted up first in order to turn to the transport position. If it is positioned correctly, the green lamp is flashing quickly and you can approach the transport position (lowering).
Ground Control 7.1 Ground Control Panel: -Ground control is only permissible if nobody is in the working cage Ground control may only be used if the required accident prevention measures are taken. The ground control enables the user to transport loads, e.g. billboards, advertising banners, light or loudspeaker equipment (up to max.
Page 37
Ground Control For ground control, make sure that the work cage is unmanned and the toggle switch on the front left of the control panel of the work cage is in position 0. Additionally, the key switch in the ground control panel must be in position "1" (plat- form mode).

General Maintenance Instructions 8.2 Recommended oil When it leaves our workshop, the hydraulic system of this machine is filled with: PLANTOHYD 32-S Environmentally friendly multi-use hydraulic fluid Mixing with hydraulic oils of other viscosity classes is not permissible for safety reasons. If, for any reason, an- other conventional hydraulic oil is to be used, the hydrau- lic oil of the complete hydraulic system must be replaced.
General Maintenance Instructions Oil Recommendation A proper function, perfect operational safety and a long service life mainly depend on a careful selection of the hydraulic oils. For the hydraulic system, we recommend hydraulic oils which contain, in addition to the additives improving the corrosion protection and the ageing resistance and reducing the wear and tear, additives improving the stick-slip behavior, avoiding deposits and cavitation and preventing undesired reactions caused by penetrating water.
General Maintenance Instructions 8.3 Oil Levels: Only check the oil level of the hydraulic system and refill oil, if necessary, when the cylinders are retracted, i.e. in transport position of the machine. Mixing of different oils is not permissible. Otherwise the whole plant may be damaged.

General Maintenance Instructions Oil level in drive engine (OPTION): The drive engine is filled with Engine oil Titan 15 W 40. -At the drive engine, check engine oil level weekly according to Kubota operating instruc- tions Filling volume in drive engine: see Kubota operating instructions When oil level is low (see dipstick) refill oil according to Kubota operating instruc- tions.
General Maintenance Instructions 8.4 Maintenance Instructions for Live Ring Checking the fixing screws: The fixing screws must be checked every 700 operating hours or every 6 months, at the latest. This period is to be adapted accordingly in the case of special operating conditions.
