Niftylift offer a generator option on this machine, but cannot control the device that is connected to the system or the resulting variation in the amplitude of electrical noise produced when operating the generator.

  • Page 14: Environmental Limitations

    All standard Niftylift machines are rated for a wind speed of 12.5 m/s, which equates to 45kph / 28mph or force 6 on the Beaufort scale. No attempt should be made to operate a Niftylift in wind strengths above this limit and if the operator has any doubts over the wind speed they should cease operation immediately until it can be established that the wind speed has fallen to a safe level.

  • Page 15: Test Report

    Operating & Safety Instructions TEST REPORT All Niftylift machine models are subjected to a comprehensive ‘type test’ which examines the worst- case combination of safe working load (SWL), overload, windage, inertia and pull force to assess the various safe stability criteria. Self-propelled machines are also subjected to kerb and braking tests at the SWL to satisfy additional dynamic stability requirements.

  • Page 16: Preparation And Inspection

    PREPARATION FOR USE Whilst every effort has been made at the Niftylift factory to ensure your machine arrives in a safe and operable condition it is necessary to carry out a systematic inspection prior to putting the aerial platform into service.

  • Page 39: Driving Controls

    When driving with the booms fully stowed, the Tilt Sensor is bypassed to allow the Niftylift to be driven in areas where the slope exceeds the allowable inclination limit. In normal operation the drive is therefore unaffected when driven onto a slope in excess of this limit, until the booms are raised, whereupon the drive is disabled and the tilt alarm sounds continuously.

  • Page 40: Cage Weigh System

    4.5.1 LOAD CELL VERSION The Niftylift HR28 is fitted with an electronic load cell. This load cell is a moment-independent design. This means that independent of the load position inside the machine cage, the actual load is measured and if pre-calibrated limit values are exceeded, warnings will be activated. If load exceeds the safe working limit (SWL) of the machine, the machine will be disabled until the load is reduced to below 95% of the safe working limit.

  • Page 41: Batteries And Charging

    Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions BATTERIES AND CHARGING Recharge batteries at the end of every working day or shift. (Note: To recharge batteries fully from 20% charged takes approx. 12 Hours, this consists of 8 hours bulk charging plus 4 hours equalisation. The recharging time can be reduced to approx 4- 6 hours by running the engine whilst charging).
  • Page 42 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions During normal machine usage with the engine running, the batteries are on continuous recharge, except when the control system decides that additional electric power is required in order to maintain drive/function speed. The machine has two charging units (Master and Slave). Both units will activate initially, the Slave unit will switch off at approximately 80% capacity then the Master unit will complete the charging cycle.
  • Page 43 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions Attention should also be given to the use of extension cables as power leads. Excessive cable lengths from the supply point to the battery charger will result in significant voltage drop, leading to a reduction in the chargers efficiency.

  • Page 44: Transporting, Towing, Craneage, Storage And Setting To Work

     Always ensure the truck or trailer you are loading or towing the Niftylift with can carry it legally.  If loading by crane the use of shackles and an adequately rated spreader beam, with four leg slings, is MANDATORY.
  • Page 45 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.7.2 CAGE STOWING To reduce the overall length of the machine for transport purposes use the following procedure; 1) Elevate the telescopic booms so the cage is clear of the ground by at least 1m. 2) Use the auxiliary controls under the base canopy to carefully tuck the cage under the booms, taking care to avoid contact with the ground.
  • Page 46 Operating & Safety Instructions 4.7.3 TOWING If the Niftylift needs to be towed in case of an emergency, it will be necessary to chock the wheels before starting any of the following actions. GEARBOX DISENGAGEMENT In order to safely tow the HR28, the drive mechanism will need to be bypassed. The drive gearboxes located on the front and rear wheel hubs must be disengaged as follows;...

  • Page 47: Setting To Work

    Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions 4.7.5 STORAGE If being stored for any length of time without use, then the machine should be thoroughly inspected for the following:- Grease all bearings /slides, worm drives, etc. Check batteries for state of charge, damage, dirt, etc. Ensure batteries are fully charged before storage.
  • Page 48 Height Rider/SP Series Operating & Safety Instructions Niftylift Limited is not liable for any third party damage caused during transport. Careful attention to correct procedures will prevent many of the small snags that can happen in transit. Re-work is both expensive and time consuming.

  • Page 49: Emergency Controls
