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 Con-
trol 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 with-
standing the loads imposed. The Chassis MUST
be correctly levelled before elevating the plat-
form.
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.
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 opera-
tion.
DO NOT overload the platform
DO NOT operate within 3 metres (10 feet) of
any electrical power cables. THIS WORK
PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED.
Cordon off the area within the platform’s work-
ing 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 appli-
cable lock the Entry Step in the raised position.
2.
Before using the machine all local Safety Regula-
tions 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 Keyswitch on the Lower Control Box is
turned to the ON position and all Emergency Stop Buttons
are OFF (twisted clockwise).
4.
If an audible alarm sounds, check that the Outrig-
gers 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 the LOWER BOOM Button on the control
panel. Check for overhead obstructions and when satisfied
squeeze the red Interlock control on the Joystick. Slowly
move the Joystick forward to elevate the Boom . 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 required.
6.
Select UPPER BOOM or ROTATE as required
using the control panel and operate as described
