 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing and using the machinery of
Hunan Sinoboom Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. Al-
ways read, understand and become familiar with the
operation requirements of the machine and its associ-
ated safety procedures before operating, maintaining
and repairing the machine. Operating the machine with-
out becoming familiar with its specific operation require-
ments and safety procedures poses serious risks.
Operators who follow safety rules and operate the ma-
chine carefully and effectively will prevent personal in-
jury, property loss and accidents.
Use this machine only to transport tools to work loca-
tions and for performing tasks on the work platform. Op-
erators must be competent and must obtain training to
carefully use the machine and follow safety procedures.
Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the
machine.
This manual guides the operator in operating and using
the machine. The operator is responsible for reading,
understanding and implementing the operation and
safety procedures in this manual and for following the
manufacturer’s instructions before beginning any work.
Read, understand and follow all safety rules and oper-
ating instructions. The operator must also consider the
machine’s uses and limitations and the conditions at
the jobsite before using this machine. Strictly following
all safety requirements in this manual is critical.
Consider this manual a part of the machine, along with
Maintenance Manual and Parts Manual, and always
keep the manuals with the machine. The owner or ad-
ministrator of the machine shall offer all manuals and
other necessary information provided by the machine
manufacturer regarding the daily inspection and main-
tenance to each of the renters. If the machine is sold,
the owner or administrator must pass along the man-
uals and other necessary information to the purchaser.
The owner or administrator of the machine shall also
provide the manufacturer’s maintenance information to
the person responsible for maintaining the machine.
If you have any questions, contact Hunan Sinoboom In-
telligent Equipment Co., Ltd..

WELDING AND POLISHING

REQUIREMENTS
Before welding, grinding and polishing operations, al-
ways ensure you read and understand all operation and
maintenance requirements in the Operation Manual
and the Maintenance Manual.

1018RD&1218RD Operation Manual 3-11 © Jul. 2021

SAFETY

WELDING HAZARDS

• Comply with the welder manufac-

turer’s recommendations for pro-
cedures concerning proper use of
the welder.
• Welding leads or cables may only
be connected after turning off the
power unit.
• Carry out welding operations only
after the welding cable has been
correctly connected.
• Do not use the machine as a
ground wire during welding
operation.
• At all times, make sure that the
power tools are completely stored
in the working platform. Do not
hang the power tools on the rail-
ing of the working platform or the
work area outside the working
platform, or hang the power tools
directly by the wire.

Before performing welding, grinding and polishing work,

welders must seek permission of the responsible de-
partment at the workplace.

AFTER USING THE

MACHINE
1. Choose a safe parking location that is on sturdy,
level ground and that is free of obstructions. Avoid
areas with heavy traffic.
2. Lower the platform.
3. Turn the emergency stop switch of the ground con-
troller to the “OFF” position
4. Turn the key switch to the “OFF” position and re-
move the key to avoid unauthorized use of the
machine.
5. Block the wheels with the wheel wedges.
6. Charge the battery.

NOTICE
After using the machine, the power off switch must
be disconnected.

Safety is the operator’s responsibility. Part of safety is
conducting a thorough jobsite inspection. Operators
must identify and avoid workplace hazards when mov-

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION

Keeping the diesel fuel at an appropriate level is vital to

maintaining the engine performance and extending
service life. An inappropriate fuel level will bring
damage to the engine parts and lead to improper
functioning of the machine.
1. Open the rear left door of chassis, and locate the
fuel tank.
2. Inspect the fuel level to ensure it is within the
marking range of sight gauge.

2. Ensure the tank body and ports are free of leakage.

3. Add hydraulic oil as needed. Never overfill the tank.
