- Page 4 Operators Manual EMERGENCY OPERATION In the event that the operator in the bucket has become unable to operate the Versalift, ground personnel will need to take control of the machine, by selecting the lower controls function, using the Control Selector Switch (as illustrated), located on the pedestal.
- Page 5 Full controls at the platform and the complete freedom of boom movements make the Versalift a truly flexible and functional work platform. This manual is furnished to provide practical and essential information for efficient operation of the equipment and must at all times remain with the equipment.
- Page 6 Decals are installed at numerous locations on the Versalift in an effort to warn all personnel of the potential hazards during the use and operation of the Versalift. It is important that the operator, as well as any ground personnel read and understand the information on the decals.
- Page 7 Avoid parking on soft or unstable surfaces. DO NOT operate in windy conditions greater than 12.5 m/s DO NOT use the Versalift as a crane DO NOT take equipment into the bucket (work platform) that could increase wind resistance, such as a notice board.
- Page 8 Operators Manual Operating in Windy Conditions The Versalift equipment should not be used in high wind conditions, such as when large tree branches are in motion, whistling can be heard in telephone wires and umbrellas hard to use. Max Operational Wind Speed 12.5 m/s Should wind speeds be less than this but still noticeable, then extra care should be taken in these conditions, to avoid potential incidents.
- Page 9 Operational Safety Operators Manual Working under Overhead Structures Always take great care when operating this machine beneath overhead structures, as serious injuries can result from inappropriate use. It is recommended that the control selector switch on the upper controls is returned to „O‟ when not in use. To prevent the risk of inadvertently becoming trapped always keep clear of the sides of the personal bucket and operate the booms slowly and carefully.
- Page 10 „Powered Access Licence‟ (PAL) to cover „Static Boom 1b‟ type equipment, (this category used to be known as VMP 26). Details of the Powered Access Licence can be obtained through the International Powered Access Federation‟ (IPAF), or contact Versalift for further details and training options.
- Page 11 Operating Instructions Operators Manual Positioning of Vehicle Park the vehicle on firm, level ground whenever possible and apply handbrake fully. Do not operate the equipment on a slope greater than 5 (approximately 1m rise in 12m) as a slope reduces the vehicles stability and places additional stresses on the equipment. An inclinometer is provided in the cab and the flyboom to show when the vehicle is within the 5 slope requirement.
- Page 12 Operators Manual After Leaving Cab Check the Versalift equipment for damage which may have occurred during transit, this should include the personnel bucket (work platform) for cracks. Also verify that the weather conditions are compatible with safe working, see „Operating in Windy Conditions‟ on page 7.
- Page 13 Operators Manual PAR T N O. VDL 10 88 -4 2 If the Versalift has not been used for an extended period of time, then the lift must be operated from the lower controls through its full range of motion several times before an operator enters the platform and uses the machine.
- Page 14 Operators Manual Cab Controls From the Cab Control Panel the Versalift can be powered up and beacons activated. The facia should look similar to the illustration below and is usually located to the dashboard in clear line of sight (the example given can be found on the Vauxhall Vivaro).
- Page 15 Operating Instructions Operators Manual Lower Controls From the lower hand held controls, full manipulation of the Boom and personnel bucket is possible, either on normal or emergency power, as long as the Control Selector is set to lower controls (B), as described on page 12.

Emergency Stop Button The Emergency stop button (4) is controlled by a red mushroom control button with yellow background.
- Page 18 When stowing the Versalift ready for road travel, retract the inner boom completely and rotate the outer boom assembly until it is centred over the boom hitch socket, or use the guide arrows located to the turret and top of the pedestal. Finally carefully lower the Versalift assembly into the boom hitch socket.
- Page 19 MANUAL emergency operation. Equipment Failure The Versalift can be safely returned to the stowed position, by the use of the Emergency Motor switch function and upper controls by the operator at any time.
- Page 20 Operators Manual Incapacitated Operator In the event that the operator in the bucket has become unable to operate the Versalift, ground personnel will need to take control of the machine, by selecting the lower controls function, using the Control Selector Switch (as illustrated), located on the pedestal.
- Page 21 Emergency - Manual Operators Manual EMERGENCY OPERATION – Manual Control Hydraulic System Operational Should the function control switches fail to respond at the lower and upper controls, the lift may still be operated manually by the use of push buttons on the control valve block that are located on the turret, with each valve having a pictogram denoting its function.
- Page 22 Emergency - Manual Operators Manual When performing manual operation of the Versalift, be aware that the Teleboom cut out switches will not function, so retract the boom before commencing any other functions and for maximum safety rotate the boom over the rear of the van.
- Page 23 Emergency - Manual Operators Manual Lowering Outer (Main) Boom To lower the Outer Boom, carefully loosen the jam nut (counterclockwise), with a 9/16” wrench, on the appropriate holding valve, as illustrated below. Slowly turn the setscrew clockwise (using 5/32” hex) until movement begins. Stay clear of the boom as it travels down. To stop movement, turn the setscrew counterclockwise.
- Page 24 Emergency - Manual Operators Manual Scenarios Complete hydraulic line failure The ET-NEXS lift design uses holding valves to lock the position of the cylinders in the event of a complete hydraulic line failure. This safety feature prevents the booms from dropping. The holding valve set screw and manual rotation described on previous pages can be used to recover the lift.
- Page 25 Bolts Critical fasteners are identified for the ET-NEXS on the following page. As all major sections of the Versalift are bolted together, it is vital that these bolts remain tight. Inspect all the bolts for signs of loosening. Pay particular attention to bolts holding pin retainer tabs, bolts holding pin retainer washers, pedestal mounting bolts and the rotation bearing bolts.
- Page 26 Safety Inspection Operators Manual Critical Fasteners The following illustration shows those fasteners to which particular attention must be paid as an operator during visual checks of the machine prior to operation, for your own safety any defects should be reported to your supervisor for further action. More detailed information is contained in the service manual provided with the machine at the time of purchase.
- Page 27 Safety Inspection Operators Manual Critical Welds All critical welds are identified on the illustrations below and should be inspected for possible signs of fatigue, evidenced by hairline cracks. Some critical welds that warrant special attention are located where the turret wings are welded to the base plate, the cylinder mounts are welded to the boom, the cylinder mounts are welded to the turret, the welds on the platform support and on the mounting hardware including the pedestal extension.
