TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions Safety MANDATORY PRECAUTIONS When operating your Niftylift, your safety is of utmost concern. In order to fully appreciate all aspects of the machines operation it should be ensured that each operator has READ and fully UNDERSTOOD the relevant manual covering machine use, maintenance and servicing. - Page 10 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 2.1.8 Never exceed the maximum platform capacity, as indicated on the decals and machine serial plate. 2.1.9 Only operate the Niftylift on a firm level surface. 2.1.10 Never position any part of the Niftylift within 4.0m, (12ft) of any electrical power line, conductor or similar not exceeding 66kV.

Self propelled machines are also subjected to kerb and braking tests at the SWL to satisfy additional ‘worse case’... -
Page 14: Preparation And Inspection
TrackDrive (TD) 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 15: Pre-Operational Safety Check Schedules
TrackDrive (TD) 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 16 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 3.3.3 MONTHLY SAFETY CHECKS Check the engine oil level (if applicable).

Page 20: Operation
TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions Operation OVERVIEW 4.1.1 CONTROL CIRCUIT COMPONENTS CONTROL BOARD: - Situated under the canopy, the control board comprises a PCB (printed circuit board) design which incorporates all of the relays to control the machine operation. The control board is common between models with the same power source, and will contain, where appropriate, discrete fuses for the circuits concerned. - Page 21 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions LPG OPERATION: - On machines equipped for LPG operation (propane), the Honda engine will also have an LPG vaporiser, valve lock and micro-vac switch. The vapour take-off system requires a vaporiser to convert the liquid gas into an airborne mixture. This is then held by the micro-vac switch and valve lock until the engine turns over, creating a vacuum on the inlet to the engine carburettor.
- Page 22 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.1.3 MANOEUVRING Once the engine is running, the operator can manoeuvre the machine from the platform. On entering the platform, the operator can now turn the selector to the right to enable the drive function. Pressing the green power button will energise the drive dump solenoids, at the same time bringing the diesel engine to full revs, if selected.
- Page 23 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions When climbing steps, a further judgement will be needed as to whether the weight of the machine, or the traction required to climb or descend would cause damage. Many domestic installations feature soft edge strips or boards to provide the front edge of the step. These edging strips are unlikely to tolerate the action of climbing and might detach causing degradation of the steps themselves.
- Page 24 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions Minimum width – Track in. Maximum width – Track extended. 4.1.6 OUTRIGGERS The four outriggers are deployed using the individual switches on the platform control box. Each lever controls the movement of an outrigger leg, their relative positions being indicated by their position on the control box.
- Page 25 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.1.7 BOOM CONTROLS As soon as all four outriggers are making contact with the ground, the four sensing switches will activate allowing the Booms to be elevated. If the Ground Station Key Switch is turned to the ‘On’ position, the adjacent green button will allow the Booms to be moved, using the Ground control levers.
- Page 26 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.1.8 EMERGENCY CONTROLS Emergency descent and/or machine recovery is achieved by the use of the standby hand pump, mounted on the base of Boom 1. This can accommodate all functions, although the drive system would require more flow than would be apparent.

Page 27: Setting Up Procedures
TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions SETTING UP PROCEDURES FAILURE TO DEPLOY THE OUTRIGGERS CORRECTLY COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Page 34: Cage Weigh System
TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions CAGE WEIGH SYSTEM 4.5.1 LOAD CELL VERSION The Niftylift TD150T is fitted with an electronic load cell. This load cell is a moment-independent, redundant design. This means that independent of the load position inside the cage of the machine, the actual load is measured and if pre-configured limit values are exceeded, warnings will be activated. - Page 35 TrackDrive (TD) 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. Under no circumstances should you permit a machine with a defective cage weigh assembly to enter service.

Page 36: Transporting, Craneage, Storage And Setting To Work
TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions TRANSPORTING, CRANEAGE, STORAGE AND SETTING TO WORK 4.6.1 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 37 TrackDrive (TD) Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.6.2 CRANEAGE Observe all of the limitations relating to straps and chains stated above under ‘Transporting’. (Section 4.6.1) When utilising the designated lifting points never apply a ‘snatch’ load, i.e. lift slowly to take up the load before raising.
- Page 38 TrackDrive (TD) 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.
