• Always push machine using the handles molded into

the material tray at the front of the machine.
• Do not push unit over soft or uneven surfaces or over
bumps, obstructions, debris, etc.

• During platform operation, keep all body parts inside

• Always post a lookout when moving the machine in
areas where vision is obstructed.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away
while operating machine.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obsta-
cles from striking or interfering with operating controls
and person in the platform.
• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s pres-
ence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a
raised platform. Position barricades on floor as neces-
sary.
• When pushing the machine up a slope, push with mast
end (rear) uphill using two people, one on each side of
the machine positioned at the platform.
• Two people may be required when pushing machine on
slopes up to 5°.
• A forklift must be used when moving units on a slope
greater than 5°.
• Do not allow the machine to turn sideways on a slope.
• Ensure platform is fully retracted, platform and material
try are empty prior to pushing or lifting machine.
• When lifting machine with a forklift, position forks only at

SECTION 2. PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
2.1 PERSONNEL TRAINING
The aerial platform is a personnel handling device; so it is
necessary that it be operated and maintained only by
trained personnel.
Persons under the influence of drugs or alcohol or who
are subject to seizures, dizziness or loss of physical con-
trol must not operate this machine.
Operator Training
Operator training must cover:
1. Use and limitations of the controls in the platform
and at the ground, emergency controls and safety
systems.
2. Control labels, instructions, and warnings on the
machine.
3. Read and understand the Operators and Safety
Manual, and the ANSI - Manual of Responsibilities.
4. Rules of the employer and government regulations.
5. Use of approved fall protection device.
6. Enough knowledge of the mechanical operation of
the machine to recognize a malfunction.
3121162
SECTION 2 - PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
7. The safest means to operate the machine where
overhead obstructions, other moving equipment,
and obstacles, depressions, holes, dropoffs are
present.
8. Means to avoid the hazards of unprotected electrical
conductors.
9. Specific job requirements or machine application.
Training Supervision
Training must be done under the supervision of a qualified
person in an open area free of obstructions until the
trainee has developed the ability to safely control and
operate the machine.
Operator Responsibility
The operator must be instructed that he/she has the
responsibility and authority to shut down the machine in
case of a malfunction or other unsafe condition of either
the machine or the job site.
NOTE: The Manufacturer or Distributor will provide qualified
people for training assistance with the first unit(s)
delivered and from that time forward as requested by
the user or his/her personnel.

2.3 PRE-START INSPECTION
The Pre-Start Inspection should include each of the follow-
ing:
1. Cleanliness – Check all surfaces for leakage (oil,
fuel, or battery fluid) or foreign objects. Report any
leakage to the proper maintenance personnel.
2. Decals and Placards – Check all for cleanliness
and legibility. Make sure no decals or placards are
missing. Make sure all illegible decals and placards
are cleaned or replaced. (Reference "Decal Installa-
tions" in Section 3).

of the Operator and Safety Manual (all), EMI Safety
Manual (ANSI only), and ANSI Manual of Responsi-
bilities (ANSI only) is enclosed in the weather resis-
tant storage container.
4. Daily Walk-Around Inspection – (See Section 2.4)
5. Battery – Charge as required.
6. Hydraulic Oil – Check the hydraulic oil level.

SECTION 2 - PREPARATION AND INSPECTION
Perform a Function Check as follows:
1. Ground Controls:
a. Turn on the main power key switch.
b. Set the floor stop.
c. Ensure that all machine functions are disabled
when the emergency stop button on the ground
control station is activated.
d. Enter the platform and raise the platform a few
feet. Have an assistant lower the platform to
check that the manual descent control valve is
operating properly. (Located under rear of
machine)
2. Platform Controls:
a. Ensure that the platform controls are properly
mounted and secure.
b. With floor stop set, raise and lower platform 2 ft.
to 3 ft. (.61m to .92 m) several times. Check for
smooth elevation and lowering of platform.

To Charge Batteries
3.7 BATTERY CHARGING
The 9MP machine is equipped with an 120/240V select-
able AC voltage input/12V - 20Amp DC voltage ouput bat-
tery charger. The charger will automatically terminate
charging when the batteries reach full capacity.
The OEM battery, located under the rear cover with the
charger, is a 12V - 100 O.A.H. - type 2/marine combination
- valve regulated - maintenance free battery.
1. Place machine in a well ventilated area near an AC
voltage electrical outlet.
2. Check the AC voltage selector switch on front of the
battery charger is set to correct local AC voltage
(120 or 240VAC).
3. Plug a heavy duty AC extension cord into the
Charger AC Input cord at the right rear of the
machine, or if equipped, plug in cord from optional
cord reel mounted on base frame.

battery in approximately 5 hours.
If the AMBER LED comes on and stays on after charging
