Performing the appropriate maintenance procedures will extend the life
of the boom lift and will help ensure the safety of personnel operating the
equipment.
Repair, replacement or adjustment of any hydraulic or electrical control
device should be performed only by fully trained and authorized
personnel. These include, but are not limited to, hydraulic load valves,
hydraulic flow control valves, solenoid valves and limit switches. These
are safety related controls. Improper adjustment or tampering with these
devices may impair boom lift function and result in safety or damage
hazards.
Persons performing maintenance or repairs on the machine should be
trained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Contact your regional Bil-Jax representative if additional information is
needed.
Critical or suspect areas identified during any scheduled inspection of the
machine shall be examined by qualified personnel in accordance with
applicable government regulations.
Never operate the machine if a defect or malfunction is identified or
suspected. All defects and malfunctions must be repaired, and all
maintenance performed, before returning a machine to service.
This manual contains a list of recommended maintenance procedures to
be performed daily, weekly and monthly. Refer to the appropriate

Inspect hydraulic system and fluid levels.


Check all hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks and
damage. Tighten or replace as necessary to prevent
hydraulic oil or pressure loss.
The hydraulic oil level should be checked with the
booms down, all outriggers raised and the trailer
wheels on a level surface.
Hydraulic oil level should be visible in, but not above,
the sight gauge.
If the hydraulic oil level is not visible to at least half
way up the sight gauge (Figure 4-2), add clean
hydraulic fluid as necessary while all booms and
outriggers are fully retracted and stowed. Pour slowly
to avoid creating air pockets in the reservoir. Do not
fill above sight gauge. Overfilling the hydraulic
reservoir may cause damage to hydraulic lines and
may result in equipment malfunction.

Decals contain information that is required for the safe and proper use of
the aerial work platform. Decals should be considered necessary
components of the machine and should be checked before each use to
verify that they are correctly attached and legible.
Use the following guides to find the correct location of all decals.

SECTION IV -- FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Flash Point: Not Combustible


Auto Ignition Temperature N/A Flammability Limits in Air % by Volume: N/A
Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical Carbon Dioxide, Water Fog, Water
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Sulfuric Acid Fumes, Sulfur Dioxide Gas or Carbon Monoxide may be
released when acid decomposes. Wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.

Unusual Hazards: Water applied to sulfuric acid generates heat and causes acid to splatter. Wear full-cover
acid resistant clothing. Sulfuric acid reacts violently with metals, nitrates, chlorates, carbides, fulminates,
picrates and other organic materials. Reacts with most metals to yield explosive/flammable hydrogen gas.
This reaction is intensified when sulfuric acid is diluted with water to form battery electrolyte.

lift operation:
Remove platform controls from the work
platform by releasing the latch on the back of the
platform control box.
Disconnect platform control box from the load
sense module located on the boom lift bulkhead.
Remove the electric loopback plug from the Figure 8-2. Material Lifting Hook Installation

control panel (Figure 8-1) and insert the platform Operate the material lifting hook remotely, using
control cable into the open receptacle. the platform control box for optimal control.

WARNING
Always observe the manufacturer’s weight lifting
limitations when using the material lifting hook.
Always use lifting straps or wire rope slings that
are rated at a minimum 500 lbs lifting capacity.
Never stand beneath an elevated load or position
an elevated load above personnel. Falling

PLATFORM ROTATOR
The optional platform rotator allows the operator to
rotate the elevated work platform 90º around a
vertical axis by actuating a rotator handle found
below the platform control panel.
To operate manual platform rotator, turn the rotator
handle in the direction of desired rotation (clockwise
or counterclockwise). Motion continues in the
desired direction until rotator handle is released or
the platform reaches a safe travel limit.

WARNING
Installation of a manual platform rotator may
reduce the rated load limit of the work platform.
Follow all manufacturer’s recommendations and
safety precautions when operating a boom lift
equipped for platform rotation.

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS


If you believe that your vehicle has a defect that could cause a crash or could
cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Bil-Jax, Inc.
If the NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it
finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and
remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot become involved in any
individual problems between operators, users, or lessors, and Bil-Jax, Inc.
