Diesel Model inspection
1. Check fuel supply.
2. Check engine oil level with dipstick.
3. While the engine is cool check the radiator
coolant level. DO NOT check coolant when
the engine or radiator is hot.
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 front guardrail. Firmly
grasp Controller hanger in such a manner that
the Interlock Lever can be depressed, while
performing the following checks from the ground.
2. Pull Controller Emergency Stop Button out to
ON position.
3. Turn Controller Key Switch fully clockwise to
start the engine, releasing the key once the
engine starts.
Note: If the engine is cold, depress the choke
button and hold while starting. Diesel models:
depress and hold the glow plug button for 6 sec-
onds prior to starting to engage the glow plugs.
4. Place Drive/Level/Lift Switch in DRIVE position.
5. With the Speed Range Switch first in HIGH
TORQUE and then in HIGH SPEED actuate
the Interlock Lever and slowly push the Control
Lever to FORWARD then REVERSE positions
to check for speed and directional control. The
farther you push or pull the Control Lever from

Introduction
This manual covers SL-26/30 Speed Level Work
Platforms. This manual must be stored on the
machine at all times.
Pre-Operation and Safety
Inspection
Read, understand and follow all safety rules
and operating instructions and then perform
the following steps each day before use.
1. Remove module covers and inspect for dam-
age, oil leaks or missing parts.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil with the
platform fully lowered. Oil should be visible in
the sight gauge. Add hydraulic oil, if necessary
(see Specifications, back cover).
3. Check that the fluid level in the battery is
correct (see Battery Maintenance, page 7).
4. 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.
5. Check that all guardrails are securely in place
with all fasteners properly torqued.
6. Check tire pressure (50 psi).
7. Position the Chassis Emergency Stop Switch
to ON, open the switch guard and push the
switch toward the guard.
Gasoline / Propane Model Inspection
1. Check fuel supply.
2. Check engine oil level with dipstick.
3. Set Fuel Selector Switch 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.
4. If equipped, check coolant level in radiator.
DO NOT check coolant when radiator or
engine is hot.
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.
