Read and fully comply with all safety precautions and operating instructions in the Operating and
Safety manual and the warning decals on the machine.
2)
Position Niftylift on firm, level ground. Never work with base across or adjacent to any slope.
3)
Position Niftylift bearing in mind range of boom movement so that any overhead obstructions or
possible hazards such as, but not limited to, power cables, telephone lines, drains, manhole
covers, etc. can be safely avoided
4)
If the load bearing capacity of the ground is in any doubt the machine must NOT be used.
5)
Cordon off area using appropriate cones, barriers and flags, (if applicable).
6)
Check all red emergency stops are not engaged (i.e. fully out).

From the platform control station, turn the three position selector to the left 'Outrigger' position,
press and hold the Green Button to give hydraulic power to the outriggers and select the
appropriate control switches. Note: No power will be available if the booms are not fully stowed.
9)
Using the four outrigger control switches, lower each outrigger onto a firm, level surface and
level the machine base ensuring each outrigger foot is taking equal weight with the tracks clear
of the ground.
10)
Check that the base is level using the spirit level on the machine base.

Turn the three position selector to the centre 'Booms' position. The booms can now be
operated from the platform or ground control station by use of the green button, or by
depressing and holding the base green power button. Note: If no power is available, check that
