Section 5 – Procedures
5.1 General
The following information is provided to assist you in
the use and application of servicing and maintenance
procedures contained in this chapter.
NOTE
The illustrations in this manual are for instructional
purposes only. The models and components
shown may appear somewhat different from
those on your actual MEWP .
5.1-1 Safety and Workmanship
Your safety, and that of others, is the first
consideration when engaging in the maintenance of
equipment. Always be conscious of weight. Never
attempt to move heavy parts without the aid of a
mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest
in an unstable position. When raising a portion of the
equipment, ensure that adequate support is provided.
Before performing routine maintenance underneath
the riser, support it using a suitably rated lifting device
(refer to Figure 01), or cylinder chocks on both riser
cylinders. Contact Skyjack Parts to order chocks.
WARNING
Remove all material and personnel from the
platform while using the maintenance support(s).
Unless specifically noted otherwise, before beginning
any procedure:
1. Park the MEWP on a firm, level surface.
2. Retract and lower the boom, riser, and platform
until the MEWP is in the stowed position.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Pull out the emergency stop buttons
base controls and on the platform controls.
5. Turn the battery disconnect switch to the off
position
.
After completing any procedure which involves
modifying, adjusting, or replacing any hydraulic or
electrical components, perform all of the function tests
given in your unit's Operating Manual.

result in death or serious injury!
WARNING
Make sure there are no people or obstructions in
the test area, and there is sufficient space for the
boom and drive functions required for the given
procedures.
