Pre-Operation Inspection –Be sure that the manuals are legible and in the storage container located on the platform –Be sure that all decals are legible and in place –Check the hydraulic power unit oil level –Platform and Ground Control Panel must be tested prior to use to determine that such controls Panel are in safe working condition.

7. Aerial Lifts Work Place Inspection –Do a visual inspection of the work area prior to beginning work Hazardous locations –Drop-offs or holes –Bumps, floor obstruction or debris –Inadequate surface support to withstand all load forces imposed by the machine Clearance Overhead obstructions –High voltage conductors The presence of unauthorized personnel Other possible unsafe conditions

8. Aerial Lifts Set up for TZ-50 –Operation from Ground Position the machine below the desired work area Turn the key switch to ground control position Pull out the red Emergency Stop buttons at the ground to the on position –Auto Level Push & hold the yellow function enable button Push and hold the auto level button The outriggers will lower & adjust to level the machine & raise the wheels off the ground Level the machine using only the outriggers Use the bubble level located below the ground controls to make sure the machine is level.

9. Aerial Lifts Set up for TZ-50 Cont. –Operation from Platform Turn the key switch to platform control position Pull out both ground and platform red Emergency Stop Buttons to the on position Push and hold the appropriate function enable button Push and hold the coordinating boom function button according to the markings on the controls panel

10. Aerial Lifts Set up for TZ-50 Cont. –Optional Drive System Operation Be sure the platform is fully lowered. The drive function will not operate unless the platform is fully lowered. Set the parking brake on the tongue. Press and hold the blue function enable button on the drive control handle. Press and hold the auto level button to raise the outriggers. Move the drive control handle off center. Use the color-coded direction arrows on the control panel to determine the direction of machine travel. Before raising the platform, lower the outriggers and adjust to level machine and raise the wheels off the ground.

11. Aerial Lifts Set up for AWP-24, AWP-30S, & UL-31/37: –Remove the four (4) outriggers from their storage sockets and slide into base sockets until lock pins snap into outrigger holes. –Check the interlock display lights at the ground controls (AWP -24 and AWP-30S only): Confirm that the corresponding light is on If the interlock display light is flashing, continue adjusting the outrigger until the light is on –While watching the base bubble level, continue to adjust each leveling jacks until base is level (bubble in the center circle) –Repeat procedure for each of the remaining outriggers

12. Aerial Lifts Battery Charging Instructions for TZ-50 –Do not use an external charger or booster battery. –Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area. –Use the proper AC input voltage for charging as indicated on the charger. –Use only a Genie authorized battery and charger –Use the engine or the AC battery charger to recharge the batteries.

15. Aerial Lifts Safe Work Practices –Ground controls shall not be operated during use, unless instructed to do so by person in the platform or in an emergency. –Never elevate platform unless all four (4) outriggers are properly installed, leveling jacks contact floor and base is level. –Never adjust leveling jacks while platform is occupied.

16. Aerial Lifts Safe Work Practices Cont. –Employees shall always stand firmly on the floor of the basket. Do not stand, sit or climb on edge of the basket or guard rails. Do not use planks, ladders, or other devices for a work position. –Keep the platform floor clear of debris. –Do not override safety devices. –Learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in the operator’s manual.

17. Aerial Lifts Two Major Safety Hazards: –Electrocution Hazards - Caused by operating close to power lines. It is easy to accidentally contact energized power lines. This machine is not electrically insulated and will not provide protection from contact with electrical current. If lift comes in contact with energized lines, personnel on the ground or in the platform must not touch or operate the machine until energized power lines are shut off. Do not operate the machine during lighting or storms.

18. Aerial Lifts Two Major Safety Hazards Cont. –Fall Hazards - Caused by improper operation and/or improper set up. Fall hazard due to the potential for being bounced out of lift or from climbing out of the basket. Over reaching Swinging under over hanging limbs, structures or lines. Stumbling over tools inside the basket.

19. Aerial Lifts Personal Protective Equipment –Hard hats and Safety glasses are required whenever working from an aerial lift. –A full body harness & lanyard shall be worn –Lanyard needs to be attached to anchor provided in platform when working from an aerial lift. –All Aerial Lift operators must visual inspect the body harness & lanyard before each use.

20. Aerial Lifts Hazards / Precautions –Tip-Over Hazards Do not drive or position lifts near the edge of loading docks drop-offs or holes. Do not raise platform on uneven or soft surfaces Do not drive onto uneven or soft surfaces when elevated Do not raise platform in windy or gusty conditions Do not place or attach overhanging loads to any part of the platform.

21. Hazards / Precautions Cont. –Tip over Hazards Cont. Do not place ladders or scaffolds in platform or against any part of this machine. Be sure all tires are in good condition & lug nuts are properly tightened. Do not push the machine or other objects with the boom. Do not contact adjacent structures with the boom. Aerial Lifts

22. Hazards / Precaution Cont. –Collision Hazards Be aware of boom position when rotating the TZ - 50 turntable. Do not lower the boom unless the area below is clear of personnel and obstructions. Check work area for overhead obstructions or other possible hazards. –Component Damage Hazards Do not fully lower the booms unless the booms are aligned with the tongue. The booms must be lowered onto the boom rests.
