AFETY NSPECTION
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions, labels, and the Scaf-
fold Industry Association's MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES. Perform the following steps each
day before use.
1. Open modules and inspect for damage, oil leaks, or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the platform fully lowered. The hydraulic reservoir is
located at the rear of the machine. The oil level should be visible through the side of the
tank and must be between the MIN and MAX lines (see Figure 2-2). Add hydraulic fluid if
necessary.
3. Check that fluid level in the batteries is correct (See Battery Maintenance,Page 2-8).
4. Verify that batteries are charged.
5. Check that A.C. extension cord has been disconnected from the plug in the left chassis
module, and that the module doors are closed and locked.
6. Check that all guardrails are in place and all fasteners are properly tightened.
7. Inspect the machine thoroughly for cracked welds and structural damage, loose or missing
hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged control cable, loose wire connections and wheel bolts.
8. Move machine, if necessary, to an unobstructed area to allow for full elevation.
9. Pull Chassis Emergency Stop Switch to the ON position.
10. Pull Platform Emergency Stop Switch to the ON position.
11. Turn and hold the
Chassis Key Switch
to CHASSIS. Push
the Chassis Lift/
Lower Switch to the
UP position and
raise the platform
aproximately 7 feet
(2.1m). Block the
elevating assembly
as described
onPage 2-7.
12. Visually inspect the
elevating assembly,
lift cylinder, cables,
and hoses for cracked welds and structural damage, loose hardware, hydraulic leaks, loose
wire connections, and erratic operation. Check for missing or loose parts.
13. Verify that the depression mechanism supports have rotated into position under the
machine. Remove the Scissor Brace as described on Page 2-7.
14. Turn and hold the Chassis Key Switch to CHASSIS. Push the Chassis Lift/Lower Switch to
