Introduction
This manual covers Electric and Bi-Energy models
of the LX Series Work Platforms. Both machines
operate on a 48 volt battery powered system. The
Bi-Energy machine uses a diesel powered engine
to charge the batteries. Manual for engine on
BiEnergy machine is stored with thioperators
manual. These manuals must be stored on the
machine at all times.
Pre-Operation and Safety
Inspection
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety
rules, labels, and operating instructions, then
perform the following steps each day before use.
Perform a complete visual inspection of the entire
unit prior to operating.
1. Open panels and check hydraulic components
and hoses for damage or leaks. Check electrical
components and wiring for damage or loose
connections.
2. Inspect chassis, axles, hubs, and steering
linkage for damage, deformation, buckeled
paint, loose or missing hardware, and cracked
welds.
3. With platform fully lowered, check the hydrau-
lic oil level sight gauge on the hydraulic tank .
Add ISO #46 hydraulic oil if necessary.
4. Check that fluid level in all batteries is correct
(See Battery Maintenance, Page 8).
5. Check the engine oil level and fuel level (Bi-
Energy model).
6. Check that all guardrails are in place. Insure
that gate operates freely and latches securely.
7. Check tires for damage. Check tire pressure; 75
psi (5.2 bar) if equipped with pneumatic tires.
8. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for
damage such as cracked welds or structural
members, loose or missing parts, oil leaks,
damaged cables or hoses, and loose connec-
tions.
9. Bi-Energy models - While the engine is cool
check the engine coolant level.
NEVER remove the cap from a hot radia-
tor. Hot coolant can cause severe burns.
DO NOT use a machine that is damaged
or malfunctioning. Tag and remove the
unit from service until it is repaired.
System Function Inspection
STAND CLEAR of the work platform
while performing the following checks.
Before operating the work platform survey
the work area for surface hazards such as
holes, drop-offs, bumps and debris.
Check in ALL directions, including above
the work platform, for obstructions and
electrical conductors.
Protect control console cable from possible
damage while performing checks.
1. Unhook controller from guardrail. Firmly grasp
controller handle in such a manner that the
interlock lever can be depressed, while perform-
ing the following checks from the ground.
