TL33 Work Platform 2-1
Section
2.1 Preparation for use
Read and familiarise yourself with all operating
instructions before attempting to operate machine.
1. Check Hydraulic oil level.
2. Check that batteries are charged.
2.2 Preparation for Shipment
1. Lubricate machine per lubrication instructions in
Section 4.4, Maintenance.
2. Fully Lower the platform.
3. Stow all 4 outriggers.
4. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable from the
battery terminal.
2.3 Forklifting the Work Platform
NOTE: Lifting is for loading and unloading only.
NOTE: The TL33 is not designed to be forklifted,
and does not have provision on the chassis
to allow this method of lifting. Upright
recommend the procedure below for
handling the machine.
See specifications for weight of work
platform and be certain that lifting
apparatus is of adequate capacity
to lift platform.
2.4 Lifting the Work Platform
The Tl33 may be lifted by an overhead hoist/crane in the
following manner:
Four lifting straps capable of safely supporting the total
weight of the TL33 (1209Kg), and at least 220cm long
are required. This minimum length is important to ensure
the correct lifting angle.
The straps should be positioned as shown in Figure2-1.
The two rear lifting slings should be positioned inside the
“quadrant” outrigger mounting plates. Care must be
taken to ensure the slings do not damage the cable for
the outrigger limit switches (Positions 1 & 2).
the front lifting slings should be positioned under the
towing beam, directly in front of the brake cable anchor
plate. Note that two straps are essential at this point -
one must pass each side of the lower boom and be
positioned between the boom and the tension bars on
either side. (Position 3 & 4).
Care must be taken to avoid damage to covers and other
equipment on the machine.

2.5 Transport
The TL33 is a road approved vehicle and therefore may
be transported behind a motor vehicle of suitable towing
capacity.
If the TL33 is to be transported by other means then it
must be securely tied down to the transporting unit at
several points.
Recommended securing points are the four outrigger
support members on the chassis and the towbar. Further
securing points should be used if the terrain on which the
unit is travelling is rough or uneven.
ALWAYS ensure that the handbrake is fully applied and
that all the booms are FULLY stowed.
2.6 Storage
No preparation is required for normal storage. Regular
maintenance per Table 4-1 should be performed. If The
work platform is to be placed in long term storage (dead
storage) use the following preservation procedure.
PRESERVATION
1. Clean painted surfaces. If the painted surface is
damaged, repaint.
2. Fill the hydraulic tank to operating level with the
platform fully lowered. Fluid should be visible on
the dip stick.
3. Coat exposed portions of cylinder rods with a
preservative such as multipurpose grease and wrap
with barrier material.
4. Coat all exposed unpainted metal surfaces with
preservative.
BATTERIES
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable and secure to
the chassis.
2. Disconnect the remaining battery leads and secure to
the chassis.
3. Remove the batteries and place in alternate service.
CAUTION
Minimum sling length
220cm
