Safety Prop
Using the lower controls, raise the platform until the open
height between the arm pins is wide enough to position
the safety prop. Refer to Figure 8.4.
Figure 8.4 – Safety Prop
Swing the safety prop upward from the storage position
to the support position. Inspect the safety prop for dam-
age and deformation.
Always use the safety prop when the platform is raised
during inspection and maintenance.
A
Danger
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death
or serious injury will result if the scissors structure
drops onto personnel working within the scissors
arms or under the raised platform. Properly posi-
tion the safety prop before reaching through the
scissors structure.
When inspecting or servicing the aerial platform with the
platform raised, use the following procedure to properly
position the safety prop.
1. Remove all tools and material from the platform.
2. Using the lower controls, raise the platform until the
open height between the arm pins is wide enough to
position the safety prop. Refer to Figure 8.4.
3. Swing the safety prop upward from the storage posi-
tion to the support position.
4. Remove hands and arms from the scissors structure
area.
5. Lower the platform until the scissors are supported
by the safety prop.
Use the following procedure to stow the safety prop.
1. Using the lower controls, raise the platform until the
open height between the arm pins is wide enough to
move the safety prop.
2. Swing the safety prop down to the stowed position.
Cables and Wiring Harness
Inspect all cables and wiring for wear and/or physical dam-
age such as loose connections, broken wires, and frayed
insulation. Check the wiring in areas where a change in
routing direction may cause them to become pinched (re-
fer to Figure 8.5). Make sure the cables and wires are
properly routed to avoid sharp edges, pinching, and scuff-
ing.

Hydraulic System
Hydraulic power is supplied from a single stage hydraulic
pump with a 4.1 horsepower DC electrical motor.
A
Danger
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
enough force to inject fluid into the flesh. Serious
infection or reaction will result if medical treatment
is not given immediately. In case of injury by escap-
ing hydraulic fluid, seek medical attention at once.
