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
Specifica-
tions).
3. Check that fluid level in the battery is correct
(see Battery Maintenance).
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
pressure; 4.5 bar (65 psi).
7. 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.
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 (Figures 1 & 2) by
pulling the buttons out.
10. Verify platform/chassis switch is on PLATFORM
(Figure 1).
11. Gasoline/Propane Models: set dual fuel selec-
tor 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 cool-
ant 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.
