Upright X Series Service & Parts Manual

Operation
3-1X-Series Work Platform
Section
3.0 Introduction
GENERAL FUNCTIONING
The battery powered electric motor directly drives a two
section hydraulic pump. The low section supplies oil
under pressure to operate steering and low drive/lift, the
high section flow provides oil for high drive/lift. The oil
flow is directed to the different functions by electrically
activated solenoid valves.
DESIGN FEATURES
The X-Series Work Platform has the following features:
•The drive speed is limited to low speed when
operating the work platform while the platform is
elevated.
•Parking brakes are automatically engaged when
the Drive Switch is released and the machine
comes to a full stop or if power is lost.
•The Chassis Controls and Controller are equipped
with an Emergency Stop Switch for stopping all
powered functions.
•The Interlock Lever must be depressed for the
Controller to function.
•An alarm is provided to signal when the platform
is lowering.
•A Lift Switch is located in the Chassis Control
Panel on the right side of the Chassis for lifting
and lowering the Platform from ground level.
•Pothole Protection Supports rotate into position
under the machine whenever the platform is
raised.
•The Tilt Alarm is activated on slopes of 2 degrees
side to side and fore and aft when the machine is
elevated, cutting power to Lift and Drive func-
tions.
•An Emergency Lowering Valve is provided to lower
the Platform in the event electrical power is lost.
3.1 Safety Rules and
Precautions
All personnel shall carefully read, understand and
follow all safety rules, operating instructions and the
Scaffold Industry Association's MANUAL OF RESPONSI-
BILITIES before performing maintenance on or operat-
ing any UpRight X-Series Work Platform:
NEVER operate the machine within ten feet of power
lines. THIS MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED.
NEVER elevate the platform or drive the machine while
elevated unless the machine is on firm level surface.
NEVER sit, stand or climb on guardrail or midrail.
NEVER operate the machine without first surveying the
work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs,
bumps and debris.
NEVER operate the machine if all guardrails are not
properly in place and secured with all fasteners properly
torqued.
SECURE chain across entrance and lower the rear
guardrail after mounting platform.
NEVER use ladders or scaffolding on the platform.
NEVER attach overhanging loads or increase platform
size.
LOOK up, down and around for overhead obstructions
and electrical conductors.
DISTRIBUTE all loads evenly on the platform. See the
back cover for maximum platform load.
NEVER use damaged equipment. (Contact UpRight for
instructions. See toll free number inside front cover.)
NEVER change operating or safety systems.
INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds,
loose hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged control cable,
loose wire connections and wheel bolts.
NEVER climb down elevating assembly with the plat-
form elevated.
NEVER perform service on machine while platform is
elevated without blocking elevating assembly.
NEVER recharge batteries near sparks or open flame;
batteries that are being charged emit highly explosive
hydrogen gas.
AFTER USE secure the work platform against unautho-
rized use by turning key switch off and removing key.
NEVER replace any component or part with anything
other than original UpRight replacement parts without
the manufacturers consent.
