WARNING
All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules, operating instructions and
the Scaffold Industry Association’s MANUAL OF RESPONSIBILITIES (ANSI 92.2) before
operating or preforming maintenance on any UpRight aerial work platform.
SAFETY RULES
ALL occupants must wear an approved fall restraint properly attached to a designated platform anchorage point. Attach
only one fall restraint to each anchorage point.
NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-off’s (curbs),
bumps and debris.
NEVER exceed the safe working load of 475 lbs (215 kg), (max. 2 persons plus 120 lbs (55 kg) of equipment).
DO NOT increase wind loadings by fitting items such as sign boards, flags etc. to the cage or boom.
DISTRIBUTE all loads evenly on the platform. See the Specifications Table on Page 16 for the maximum platform load.
NEVER operate the machine unless you have been fully trained in its safe use, are medically fit and have read and fully
understood these instructions.
OPERATE the machine on firm level ground with a minimum bearing capacity of 11,500 lbs / ft
2
(550 kN / m
2
).
DO NOT use in winds exceeding 27 mph (12.5 m/s - Beaufort Force 6).
NEVER use ladders or scaffolding on the platform.
DO NOT attach overhanging loads, increase the size of the working platform, use the machine as a crane or for any
other application involving additional loads or forces.
NEVER change or modify operating or safety systems.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly for missing decals, cracked welds, loose hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged cables,
loose wire connections or wheel bolts. NEVER use damaged equipment. (Contact UpRight Irl. Ltd. for instructions).
NEVER climb down an elevating assembly with the platform elevated.
NEVER use this machine unless the platform entrance drop bar is in position.
NEVER perform service on or in the elevating assembly while the platform is elevated without first blocking the
elevating assembly.
NEVER recharge batteries near sparks or open flame; Charging batteries emit highly explosive hydrogen gas.
SECURE the work platform against unauthorized use by turning Keyswitch off, and then remove key from the switch.
NEVER replace any component or part with anything other than original UpRight replacement parts without the
manufacturer’s consent.
All Outrigger Pads must be in contact with a firm surface and the Chassis levelled before elevating the Platform.
IF ALARM SOUNDS while the platform is elevated, STOP. Carefully retract the booms, using the emergency
functions and lower the platform without slewing. Move the machine to a firm, level surface.
NEVER operate this
machine within 10 feet of
power lines or cables.
THIS MACHINE IS NOT
INSULATED.
NEVER elevate the
Platform until all four (4)
Outriggers have been
correctly deployed.
NEVER position the
platform without first
checking for overhead
obstructions or other

Ground and Operator Requirements

Operate on firm level ground; operator must be trained, medically fit, and understand instructions.

Pre-Operation & Safety Inspection

Daily Inspection Checklist

Steps for daily inspection including modules, oil, battery, cords, and general machine condition.

Outrigger Deployment and Levelling

Deploy outriggers until foot pads contact surface, then level chassis by extending outriggers.

System Function Inspection

Work Area Safety Checks

Survey work area for hazards, check for obstructions and power lines, cordon off area.

Control System Activation

Ensure Emergency Stop buttons are ON and Keyswitch is set to CHASSIS for testing.

Pre-Transport Inspection

Jockey Wheel and Outrigger Retraction

Lower jockey wheel, retract outriggers until road wheels bear weight, and secure vertical position.

Final Checks Before Transport

Return Keyswitch to OFF, check tyre pressures and thread depth.

Operation

Towing Procedures

Ensure assembly is stowed, outriggers raised, tires checked, and breakaway cable attached before towing.

Deploying the Outriggers

Positioning and Initial Deployment

Position on firm level surface, apply handbrake, lower jockey wheel, and move vehicle away.

Outrigger Foot Pad Contact and Levelling

Deploy outriggers until foot pads contact surface, then level chassis by extending outriggers.

Elevating & Lowering the TL33 Work Platform

Pre-Lift Safety Checks

Check for obstructions, clear chassis before slew, do not overload, keep clear of electrical cables.

Platform Entry and Controls
