Introduction
This manual covers all models of the XRT Series
Work Platforms. This manual must be stored on the
machine at all times.
Pre-Operation and Safety
Inspection
Carefully read, understand and follow all safety
rules, labels, and operating instructions, then
perform the following steps each day before use.
1. Open modules and inspect for damage, oil leaks
or missing parts.
2. Check the hydraulic oil level sight gauge on the
hydraulic tank with the platform fully lowered.
Add hydraulic oil if necessary (see Specifications,
Page 10).
3. Check that fluid level in the battery is correct (see
Battery Maintenance, Page 8).
4. Check the engine oil level and fuel level.
5. Check that all guardrails are in place, the slide
out deck extension is secured with the pin and all
fasteners are properly tightened.
6. XRT 27/33 (unless foam filled): Check tire pres-
sure; 65 psi (4,5 bar).
7. Carefully inspect the entire work platform for
damage such as cracked welds or structural
members, loose or missing parts, oil leaks, dam-
aged cables or hoses, loose connections and tire
damage.
8. Move machine, if necessary, to unobstructed area
to allow for full elevation.
9. Place chassis and platform emergency stop
switches in the ON position (Figure 1 & 2) by
pulling the buttons out.
10. Verify platform/chassis switch is on PLATFORM
(Figure 1).
11. Gasoline / Propane Models: set dual fuel selector 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.
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.
12. While the engine is cool check the engine coolant
level.
DO NOT check coolant when engine or
radiator is hot, hot coolant can cause severe
burns.
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.
