Page 12: Environmental Limitations
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions ENVIRONMENTAL LIMITATIONS All Niftylift Trailer Mounts are limited to operation as previously described and any slopes must be adjusted by use of the outriggers and jacks. Unless specifically configured otherwise, the machine will have short time rating for operation in extreme temperatures, i.e. reduced battery cycle times for low temperatures such as freezers, food storage etc. -
Page 13: Preparation And Inspection
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions Preparation and Inspection UNPACKING Since the manufacturer has no direct control over the shipping or carriage of any Niftylift it is the responsibility of the dealer and/or owner and/or hirer to ensure the Niftylift has not been damaged in transit and a Pre-operational Report has been carried out by a qualified engineer before the aerial platform is put into service. -
Page 14: Pre-Operational Safety Check Schedules
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECK SCHEDULES Before use at the beginning of the work shift, the aerial platform shall be given a visual inspection and functional tests including, but not limited to the following. It is recommended that these be performed at regular intervals as indicated on each checklist. - Page 15 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 3.3.3 MONTHLY SAFETY CHECKS Check the engine oil level (if applicable). Check the wheel nuts (torque 80ft lbs / 110Nm). Check outriggers for condition, security and operation. Check that the slew worm is secure and correctly in mesh. Clean and re-grease.

Page 28: Cage Weigh System
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions CAGE WEIGH SYSTEM 4.5.1 MECHANICAL VERSION The Niftylift range of machines is available fitted with mechanical cage weigh systems. These are configured to sense a vertical cage overload, which when detected will halt the machine movement. No further use of the platform is then permitted until the overload has been removed. - Page 29 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.5.4 CALIBRATION If a closer examination of the system is required, typically for testing and approval, the safe working load should be placed in the cage, carefully weighing the test load to ensure accuracy. The addition of a 5kg weight, to any of the four corners of the cage, should sound the alarm.
- Page 30 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.5.5 INSPECTION The cage weigh system is controlled through the detection printed circuit board, part number P16164. This PCB is connected directly to a safety micro-switch and monitors the function of the cage weigh system.
- Page 31 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.5.7 REPLACEMENT If components are replaced, they must be genuine Niftylift parts. The accuracy and function of the cage weigh system relies on the like-for-like application of the component parts. A switch from a similar manufacturer might reverse the contact arrangement and critically affect the function of the mechanism.

Page 32: Batteries And Charging
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES MUST BE RECHARGED IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA FREE OF FLAME, SPARKS OR OTHER HAZARDS THAT MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION. HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS IS PRODUCED DURING THE CHARGING PROCESS. Recharge batteries at the end of every working day or shift. (Note: To recharge batteries fully from flat takes approx. - Page 33 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions Some Niftylifts are fitted with a Battery Management System, which permanently monitors the condition of the batteries. When the batteries become discharged to 20% of their capacity the management system will begin to "shut down" the hydraulic power packs. This causes the drive/boom operating system to alternately stop and start, signalling to the operator that re- charging is necessary.

Page 34: Transporting, Towing, Craneage, Storage And Setting To Work
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions TRANSPORTING, TOWING, CRANEAGE, STORAGE AND SETTING TO WORK 4.7.1 TRANSPORTING If a work platform is to be moved over a longer distance, whether the machine is trailer mounted, vehicle mounted, self propelled or tracked, the following procedure should be read before restraints are attached to the machine. - Page 35 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.7.2 TOWING THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED TOWING SPEED OF A NIFTYLIFT IS 45 MPH (72 KMPH) WITH A VEHICLE THAT COMPLIES WITH ALL ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATIONS. SPEEDING MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. It is recommended that the maximum towing speed of 45mph (72kmph) be adhered to for the greatest safety.
- Page 36 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.7.3 CRANEAGE Observe all of the limitations relating to straps and chains stated above under ‘Transporting’. (Section 4.7.1) When utilising the designated lifting points never apply a ‘snatch’ load, i.e. lift slowly to take up the load before raising.
- Page 37 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions On completion of an extended period of road transport, the machine might need additional inspection to identify any transit degradation, which could render the machine unsafe. Perform a P.D.I. inspection on the unit before it enters service. Record any faults found and rectify them immediately.

Page 38: Traction Drive
TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions TRACTION DRIVE On those trailer machines equipped primarily with fixed width axles, a traction drive system is an available option. This function allows the machine to be manoeuvred by one man, and provides the machine with the capability of ascending or descending a slope of 10% (5.7 degrees). - Page 39 TM Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.8.2 DISENGAGING DRIVE Unless the machine has been manoeuvred to allow it to be coupled to a towing vehicle (as described in the appropriate section of this handbook), before disengaging the traction drive system the parking handbrake must be fully engaged. On no account disengage the traction drive system unless the handbrake is engaged, the wheels are securely chocked or the machine is connected to a towing vehicle.
