A38E Work Platform
Section
2.6
Machine Preparation
When the A38E is on the Truck it should then be
made secure.
1.
Chock the wheels of the A38E.
2.
Secure the work platform to the transport
vehicle with chains or straps of adequate load
capacity attached to the lifting lugs on the
chassis.
A
CAUTION
A
Overtightening of the chains or straps through
tie down lugs may result in damage to the
Work Platform.
2.6 Manual Brake Release
A
CAUTION
A
Perform this operation only when the machine
will not operate under its own power and it
is necessary to move the machine, or for
winching onto a trailer for transportation.
Ensure the machine is on level ground before
commencing this operation and use wheel
chocks as appropriate to prevent the machine
from rolling inadvertently.
Do not exceed 3 mph. Faster speeds will
damage drive components and void warranty.
1.
Ensure that the Platform is fully lowered and
that the Elevating Assembly is slewed (rotated)
such that the platform is stowed above the
drive wheels. Turn the Upper Control Box to
the OFF position and remove the key.
2.
Attach a chain/cable of sufficient capacity for
towing the machine to the front or rear lifting/
tie down lugs. Take up the slack in the chain/
cable.
3.
Locate the Allen head socket screws located
in the centre of the two drive (rear) wheels
and using a 6 mm Allen key, turn each one
clockwise to its full extent. The machine is now
in freewheel mode.
A
W A R N I N G
A
DO NOT leave the machine unattended or
attempt to operate the A38E Work Platform
until the Brake Release Screws have been re-
engaged.
4.
When towing is completed, turn both Allen
head socket screws in a counter clockwise
direction until they rest firmly against the
locking circlip.

2.7 Storage
No preparation is required for storage when
the Work Platform is in regular use. 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. It is not recommended
that the hydraulic fluid be drained.
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 batteries.
2.
Disconnect the battery leads and secure to the
chassis.
A
W A R N I N G
A
Care should be taken, while disconnecting the
battery leads, that a short circuit does not occur.
i.e. grounding to the chassis with a spanner.
3.
Remove the batteries and place in alternate
service. Battery efficiencies are best realised
when used consistently.
