SECTION 4 OPERATION INSTRUCTION 4.1 General An operator must not operate the machine, only if: He has learned and practiced the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operational manual. Avoid hazardous situations. Perform a pre-operation inspection at all times. Implement functional test before operating the machine at all times.
Page 66
If an engine malfunction causes an unscheduled shutdown, determine the cause and correct it before restarting the engine. Consult ZOOMLION customer service to know more about the operation under abnormal conditions. 4.2.1.1 Engine Start Machines with diesel engines. After turning on ignition, operation must wait until glow plug indicator light goes out before cranking engine.
Page 67
4.2.1.2 Engine Shut Down Remove all load and allow engine to operate at low speed for 3-5 minutes; this allows further reduction of internal engine temperature. Push Power/Emergency Stop switch; Turn Platform/Ground Select switch to Off. Refer to Engine Manufacturer's manual for detailed information. 4.2.2 Drive Operation Traveling is limited by two factors: Gradeability, which is the percent of grade of the incline the machine can climb.
Page 68
4.2.2.1 Traveling Forward and Reverse At Platform Controls, pull out Emergency Stop switch, start the engine, and activate footswitch. Position DRIVE/STEER control to “FORWARD” OR “REVERSE” hold for duration of forward or reverse travel desired. Note: the machine is equipped with travelling direction indicator lights. This indicator on the platform control box lights up to indicate that the main boom has exceeded the position between the two non-steer wheels and the drive function has been turned off.
Page 69
Before platform level adjustment, identify the position of the platform. To Level Up or Down–Position the platform/Level control switch Up or Downand hold until the platform is level. 4.2.4 Platform Rotation To rotate the platform to the left or right, use the Platform Rotate control switch to select the direction and hold until desired position is reached.
Page 70
4.2.7 Telescoping the main boom Move the telescoping switch to EXTEND or RETRACT position, the main boom could extend or retract. 4.2.8 Raising and Lowering the Jib To raise or lower the Jib, position the Jib Lift to Up or Down until the desired height is reached.
Page 71
The transport vehicle must be secured to prevent rolling while the machine is being loaded. Be sure the vehicle capacity, loading surfaces and chains or straps are sufficient to withstand the machine weight. ZOOMLION lifts are very heavy relative to their size. See the serial label for the machine weight.
Page 72
Be sure the machine is on a level surface or secured before releasing the brake. Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the uphill, downhill or side slope rating. See Driving on a Slope in the Operating Instructions section. If the slope of the transport vehicle bed exceeds the maximum slope rating, the machine must be loaded and unloaded using a winch as described in the brake release operation.
Page 73
Figure 4-1 Lifting and Securing Instructions 4.3.4 Securing the platform Be sure the boom and the platform are in stowed position. Use the straps between the platform rotator (see Figure below) and platform base to secure the platform. Do not use excessive downward force when securing the boom section. Figure 4-2 Securing the Platform Use a cable tie or rope to secure the slider to the upper square tube of the work platform to prevent the slider from bumping during transportation.

Disposal of materials should be according to the regulations of government and relevant environmental protection administration. Use only ZOOMLION approved replacement parts. ZOOMLION assumes no responsibility for hazards occurred to equipment and personnel caused by the use of unauthorized parts.
Drive motor/motor. Wear pads. Tires and wheels. Limit switches and horn. Alarm and indicator (if equipped). Nuts, bolts and other fasteners. Brake release unit. 5.1.3 Maintenance hazards Shut off power to all controls and ensure that all moving parts are secured from inadvertent motion prior to performing any adjustments or repairs.
5.2 Power and Hydraulic system maintenance 5.2.1 Check the engine oil level Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is essential to engine service life. Improper coolant level will affect the engine’s cooling capability and damage engine components. Check the oil level every day to ensure that the oil level is between the max scale and the min scale. Select different types of oil according to the ambient temperature and engine configuration (see Table 5- Note: check the oil level with the engine off.
Note: DO NOT mix oils of different brands or types, as they contain different additives which may cause negative effects. If mixing of hydraulic oils is unavoidable, permission must be obtained from the hydraulic oil manufacturer. After-sales service of ZOOMLION does not cover machine malfunction...

ZOOMLION recommends a replacement tire be the same size, ply and brand as originally installed on the machine. Please refer to the ZOOMLION Parts Manual for the part number of the approved tires for a particular machine model. If not using a ZOOMLION approved replacement tire, we recommend that replacement tires have the following characteristics: Equal or greater ply/load rating and size of original.
Approved for the application by the tire manufacturer (including inflation pressure and maximum tire load). Unless specifically approved by ZOOMLION do not replace a foam filled or ballast filled tire assembly with a pneumatic tire. When selecting and installing a replacement tire, ensure that all tires are inflated to the pressure recommended by ZOOMLION.
