2. Park the machine on a firm level surface, preferably
under cover, secure against vandals, children and
unauthorized operation.

The air line may be used to conduct fluids such as water
or antifreeze. Contact your local distriburor or UpRight
for compatibility information before using the air line to

Fluid in the air line can damage some air tools or
freeze and damage the line. Drain and blow out the
air line after using it to conduct fluids.
Use the following procedure to drain the air line.
1. Close the input connector on the chassis.
2. Open the output connector at the platform.
3. Raise the boom slightly above horizontal.
4. Open the input connector on the chassis.
5. Allow the fluid to drain from the line.

Driving Lights
The optional driving lights are for use in dimly lit areas
and are not intended for driving on public roadways.
There are two headlights at the front of the chassis and
two blinking taillights at the rear of the chassis. The lights
are operational when the battery disconnect switch and
the master switch are turned on.
Note
Working with the driving or platform work lights on, while
the engine is off, can discharge the batteries enough that
the engine will not start or the emergency power system
will not operate. If the engine cannot be left running while
the lights are on, start and run the engine for at least 15
minutes each hour.
Platform Work Lights
The optional platform work lights are located on the top
rail of the platform. The direction a light points can be
adjusted by using two 1 /

″ wrenches to loosen the clamp
below the light.
The lights are operational when the upper controls emer-
gency stop button is pulled up and the anti-restart master
switch is turned on. The engine speed increases to high
idle when the platform work lights are turned on.
Emergency Lowering
A Warning
If the platform should fail to lower, NEVER climb down
the elevating assembly.
