DEPLOYING THE OUTRIGGERS
Position the TL33 on a firm, level surface. Apply the
handbrake and then lower the Jockey Wheel until it comes
into contact with the surface and retighten the clamp. As
the Jockey Wheel is further lowered release the locking
mechanism on the Tow Hitch Receiver. When clear of the
tow bar move the towing vehicle a small distance away
from the TL33. Next ensure that the TL33 is switched to
the ON position using the Keyswitch on the Lower Control
Box and that the Emergency Stop Buttons are also OFF
(turned clockwise to release).
It is important that all outriggers are correctly
deployed on a firm surface capable of withstanding
the loads imposed. The Chassis MUST be
correctly levelled before elevating the platform.
DO NOT use the TL33 Work Platform unless the
System OK LED (Outriggers Ready) is illuminated.
1. Pull out the locking handle and lower the Outrigger
until the Locking Pin locks into position in the lower
slot. Ensure the pin is completely seated in this slot.
Reference Figure 1.
2. Repeat for the remaining three outriggers
3. When all four Outriggers are seated in the lower slot
on the Quadrant Plate the operator can then proceed
to begin the process of levelling the Chassis.
4. Screw down all four jacks until they come into
contact with the firm surface.
5. Begin to adjust each of the Screw Jacks individually
in small increments until the Outriggers alone are
taking the machines weight. The Road Wheels
should be relieved of the machine’s load but they
should still just remain in contact with the surface.
6. Ensure that the machine is level in all planes using
the Bubble Level located at the rear of the Chassis.
7. Raise the Jockey Wheel on the Tow Hitch until it is
well clear of the ground.
The last operation to be carried out before entering the
Platform should be to check each of the Outriggers
individually for their stability and that in each instance the
Outrigger Limit Switch is activated. When the Keyswitch
is in the ‘ON’ position and the Outriggers are properly
deployed there should be no warning alarm.

WARNING
ELEVATING & LOWERING THE TL33
WORK PLATFORM
When the TL33 has been thoroughly inspected, and has
been set up in accordance with the correct Outrigger
Deployment procedures, the Elevating Assembly can then
be used.
LOOK up and around for obstructions before
performing the lift function.
ENSURE that the Elevating Assembly is clear of
the Chassis before engaging the Slew operation.
DO NOT overload the platform
DO NOT operate within 10 feet (3 metres) of any
electrical power cables. THIS WORK
PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED.
Cordon off the area within the platform’s working
area to keep passers-by clear of the booms.
NOTE: Chassis controls are for service use only.
1. Enter the Platform through the entrance provided
and ensure that the Drop Bar is in position. Where
applicable lock the Entry Step in the raised position.
2. Before using the machine all local Safety
Regulations involving helmets and restraining
devices should be observed. Safety harness
lanyards, not exceeding 1 m in length, should be
attached to the anchor points on the Platform floor.
3. Ensure the ‘ON/OFF/OVERRIDE’ switch on
the Upper Control Box switch is turned to the ON

to CHASSIS position and all Emergency Stop
Buttons are OFF (twisted clockwise).
4. Check the green “System OK” L.E.D. is
illuminated. If not, and/or an audible alarm sounds,
check that the Outriggers are correctly deployed and
that the machine is level. The boom functions, nor
the slew function will operate if this is not correct.
5. Select “Boom 1” on the Function Selector Switch.
Check for overhead obstructions and when satisfied
squeeze the red Interlock control on the Joystick.
Slowly move the Joystick forward to elevate
Boom 1. The further the joystick is moved, the
faster the boom will move. Pressure must be applied
to the Interlock at all times while operation is
