Operation - Upright LX Serie Betriebsanleitung

Before operating work platform, ensure that the
pre-operation and safety inspection has been
completed, any deficiencies have been corrected
and the operator has been thoroughly trained on
this machine.
Travel With Platform Lowered
1. Verify chassis emergency stop switch is in the
ON position (turn counterclockwise), the drive
enable indicator is on, and that the platform/
chassis switch is on PLATFORM.
Note: If the drive enable indicator is off, verify
that the platform is fully lowered and (if so
equipped) the outriggers are all fully retracted.
2. After mounting platform, close and latch gate.
Check that guardrails are in position and prop-
erly assembled with fasteners properly torqued.
3. Check that route is clear of persons, obstruc-
tions, holes and drop-offs and is capable of
supporting the wheel loads.
4. Check clearances above, below and to the
sides of the platform.
5. Pull controller emergency stop button out to
ON position.
6. Turn controller key switch fully clockwise to start
engine, releasing the key once the engine starts.
Note: If the engine is cold, on dual fuel models,
depress and hold the choke button in while
starting the engine. On diesel models, depress
and hold the glow plug button for 6 seconds to
engage the glow plugs.
7. Set the drive/lift speed range switch to HIGH
TORQUE.
8. Grasp the control lever so the interlock lever is
depressed (releasing the interlock lever cuts
power to controller). Slowly push or pull the
control lever to FORWARD or REVERSE to
travel in the desired direction. The farther you
push or pull the control lever from center the
faster the machine will travel.
9. While moving, push the drive/lift speed range
switch to HIGH SPEED for travel on level
surfaces or to HIGH TORQUE for climbing
grades or traveling in confined areas.
Steering
1. Push the steering switch RIGHT or LEFT to
turn the wheels. Observe the tires while ma-
neuvering to insure proper direction.

Note: Steering is not self-centering. Wheels
must be returned to the straight ahead position
by operating the steering switch.
Leveling the Platform (Outrigger
equipped machines only)
Never attempt to use the outriggers on soft
ground. The surface beneath them must be
suitable to support the weight of the ma-
chine.
1. Look around the machine, make sure that
there is nothing obstructing the outriggers, and
that the surface beneath them is suitable to
support the weight of the machine.
2. Depress the interlock lever on the control
handle and operate the outrigger switches to
extend each outrigger until it is making firm
contact with the ground.
3. While observing the bubble level on the front
guardrail (fig. 3), extend the outrigger opposite
the position of the bubble until the platform is
level. For example: if the bubble is to the front
and left in the orbit, extend the rear right
outrigger. Continue to adjust until the bubble is
centered in the small circle indicating that the
platform is level.
4. Outriggers must be in firm contact with the
supporting surface, observe each outrigger to
verify.
To retract the outriggers:
1. Fully lower the platform.
2. Position each outrigger switch to RETRACT.
Observe the outriggers to ensure that they are
fully retracted. The drive enable indicator
light will not come on until all four outriggers
are fully retracted.
