Introduction
This manual covers all models of the LX Series
Work Platforms. This manual 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.
1. Open modules and inspect for damage, oil
leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the hydraulic oil level sight gauge on
the hydraulic tank with the platform fully
lowered. Add ISO #46 hydraulic oil if neces-
sary.
3. Check that fluid level in the battery is correct
(See Battery Maintenance, Page 7).
4. Check the engine oil level and fuel level.
5. Check that all guardrails are in place, the slide
out deck extension is secured with the pin and
all fasteners are properly tightened.
6. Check tire pressure; 50 psi (3.4 bar).
7. 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, loose connections
and tire damage.
8. Move machine, if necessary, to unobstructed
area to allow for full elevation.
9. Place chassis and platform emergency stop
switches in the ON position (Figure 1 & 2) by
pulling the buttons out.
10.Verify platform/chassis switch is on PLAT-
FORM (Figure 1).
11.Dual Fuel Models: set dual fuel selector to
desired position. Set to the center position to
purge the system when switching fuels. If the
machine is to be operated on propane, open
the supply valve on the tank.
Note: When using LP gas, use clean, water free
liquid petroleum gas, preferably from a bulk
storage tank. Follow the instructions located on
the power module tray for filling the tank.
If you smell propane, close the supply
valve on the tank immediately until you
have located and corrected the leak.
12.While the engine is cool check the engine
coolant level.
DO NOT check coolant when engine or
radiator is hot, hot coolant can cause
severe burns.
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.
