OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Engaging the brakes
Always ensure that both rear manual castor brakes are engaged before elevating the work platform to prevent
any inadvertent movement. The brakes are engaged by pushing down on the lever as shown. Releasing the
brake is simply a reversal of the engaging procedure. Before operating please ensure that both of the manual
rear brakes are engaged.
Auto brakes
On the latest models POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO is fitted with a secondary automatic brake system acting on the
front fixed wheels. POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO does not require stabilisers if these auto brakes are fitted. An auto
brake kit is available to purchase. This system should be checked for functionality before attempting to use the
machine. To check, leave the rear manual brakes ‘OFF’ and elevate the machine approximately 150mm. Hold
the handrail on both sides at the gate end and attempt to push the machine. It should be difficult to push the
machine if the auto brakes are functioning correctly. Please consult the manufacturer if the machine is easily
pushed. Before operating please ensure the manual rear brakes are engaged. An auto brake kit is available for
POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO for the safe removal of stabilisers.
Stabilisers
Deploying the stabilisers
Models of POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO , without auto brakes, are fitted with
four stabilisers, one at each corner. All four stabilisers must be fully
deployed before the platform can be raised, as follows:
1. Pull out the red knob on the stabiliser beam housing
2. Extend the beam until it locks into position
3. Pull out the blue plunger on the stabiliser leg so that the foot
drops to the ground
4. Ensure that the plunger pin engages into the radial slot at the top
of the leg
5. Wind the handle clockwise until it is hand-tight
6. Ensure that the yellow stabiliser indicator lamp is lit
Once the stabilisers are in position, the platform can be raised to the
desired height.
Retracting and stowing the stabilisers
When work is finished on the POP-UP PUSH 8 ECO , the platform
should be lowered into its resting position and the worker should exit
the platform. Only then should the stabilisers be retracted and stowed.
To do so:
1. Turn the handle anti-clockwise to loosen the stabiliser foot
2. Pull out and hold the blue plunger
3. Lift the stabiliser leg until it is in the raised position
4. Release the blue plunger until it is seated in the radial ring around the bottom of the stabiliser leg
5. Pull the red knob on the stabiliser beam outwards
6. Push the beam back into its housing until it locks into the ‘transport’ position
