Chapter 1 Preface
The aluminum mast type of mobile elevating work platform is one of the best equipment
available for aerial work. Dual mast of mobile elevating work platforms are designed to
position one or two person along with their necessary tools and materials, at overhead work
position.
They are generally intended for use over level surfaces. Normally, they are not insulated for
use near electrical energized circuits nor are they intended to be used in hazardous location.
They are mainly used for business decoration, ceiling/fixture works, industrial facilities
maintenance, lamps and lanterns replacement in halls, maintenance of street lamp, aerial
photographs and wall cleaning etc. in following area where their working position height is
less than 13.7m:
Office buildings, shopping centers, theatres, hospitals, warehouses, factories, museums,
auditoriums, hotels, gymnasium, business/convention center, airports, auto stations and
highway toll station etc.
The dual mast mobile elevating work platform has the following features:
1.1 Stable lifting and lowering: The unit adopts seamless transmission between the lifting
masts, thus minimizing the amount of sway after lifting.
1.2 Safe and reliable: The unit is designed with leveling stabilizer which includes two types
of support; one, the height-adjusting bolts for leveling and two, the outriggers for
preventing inclination. The bolts are rigidly fixed directly on the chassis whilst the
outriggers enlarge the anti-inclination base support area, thus providing double
protection of safety and stability.
1.3 Convenient: As the lifting masts are made of aluminum, the unit is light and compact. It
can easily access through standard doorways or narrow passages. In most cases, only
one person is required to move the equipment.

6.3 Installation of Power Plug
Hook the power plug on to the power socket in the job site in accordance with the rated
requirement.
Note:
Prior to installation, the rating of the power source must be confirmed.
6.4 Operation of the Controls
6.4.1 Before operates the machine, all circuit breakers and leakage breaker must be in
“ON” position on the electrical box panel
6.4.2 The mobile elevating work platform has two sets of controls; one at the base of the
unit and the other on the work platform itself
6.4.3 On either control panels, press “Up” button for lifting and press “Down” button for
lowering the platform.
6.4.4 The platform will be raised or lowered so long as the appropriate button is
depressed. The platform will stop in position as soon as the button is released.
6.4.5 Emergency stop: A big mushroom-shaped button is provided at each control panel
for emergency stop. This should be used only when other means to stop the
platform moving fails. Reset the button by turning the knob in the direction shown
by the arrow. Do not pull the knob
6.4.6 For CE certified product,stabilizers must be attached before lifting. If in a special
case, the lifting height is not more than 1/3 of its maximum height or one side
closes to a wall, and other side has been attached with stabilizers, as well as the
13
Page 14 of 34
leveling bolts have been adjusted, in this case, you may push the switch with
“Interlock Release” on the lower control panel (See clause 6.2.1&6.2.2 figure of
lower control panel ) to release the interlock function temporally so that the
machine can work without interlock.
Note:
The lower controls are together with the electrical box. Always remove the key from
the electrical box to prevent unauthorized use when the unit is unattended or not in
use.
Warning!
Not to enter the space beneath a raised work platform and extending structure during
maintenance unless the chock is in place.
When the work platform of a MEWP needs to be raised for routine servicing purposes, a
captive chock shall be used to enable the extending structure to be held in the required
position to prevent work platform from falling down unexpectedly.
This MEWP equips a hard captive chock. Please see below for users’ guide.
14
Page 15 of 34
<Step 3>
Then lower down the work platform to ensure that the bottom of the second aluminum alloy
bar is over the captive chock and that bears the aluminum alloy bar well.
When you complete the whole setting, let’s start routine servicing purposes!

Note:
1) If it is found that the initial ascending pressure is not at rated value, remove the
hydraulic pump cover and referring to the sketch above, turn the regulating valve (1)
on the hydraulic pump unit clockwise to the desired ascending pressure.
2) If necessary, a pressure gauge (supplied as an attachment) could be connected to the
emergency lowering valve block for hydraulic system pressure checking.
Note:
Referring to above sketch, turn the “throttle valve” adjusting screw (2) clockwise for
decreasing and counterclockwise for increasing the speed
7.5.3 Fluid level checking
A separate fluid level indicator is provided as an attachment for both the permissible
maximum fluid level and the necessary minimum level when the machine is in the
transport position.
7.5.4 Adjustment of Transmission Chain
The direct result of transmission chain wear is elongation of overall chain length.
The transmission chain should be checked visually for elongation every three months.
The mast connected to the elongated chain would be lower in position so that the top
of each mast will not be level in ‘stored’ position. It may lead to damage on guide
wheel baffle if the problem is serious.
Note:
Each transmission chain is associated with three
masts. The sketch on the right shows the
connection of the masts and the transmission chain.
In the sketch:
lower mast;2-intermediate mast;3-transmission
chain; 4-adjusting screw;5-adjusting nut;6-chain
wheel;7-chain wheel shaft;8-upper mast。
1) Determine the mast that needs to be raised when
adjusting a chain’s length. Adjusting nut (5)
would cause upper mast (8) to be raised.
2) Tighten the double nuts (5) to lock after carrying
17
Page 18 of 34
Note:
1) The choice of hydraulic oil depends on the temperature of the working
environment. Normal hydraulic oil of kinetic viscosity ISO 46 Cst. (at
400C) is recommended unless under extreme cold conditions. (e.g.
Duckhams Zircon 46, Esso Nuto H46, BP Energol HLP 46, Mobil DTE 26,
Shell Tellus Oil 46)
2) When changing hydraulic oil, first place a receptacle under the oil tank. Open
the oil-filling cap (6) at the top of the tank first, and then remove the drain
plug at the bottom. Flush the oil tank by pouring a small amount of clean
hydraulic oil from top cap (6) after the used oil has been completely drained.
Tighten the drain plug (5) after all the oil has been drained. Then fill up with
clean hydraulic oil and allow for a slight overflow to displace any air.
During normal operating conditions hose break valves are in the open position and
allows flow in both directions. Once pipe breaks, the outlet flow exceeds the
pre-set value of the valve and the closing element is pushed abruptly onto the
valve seat to stop hydraulic flow out from cylinder. The valve opens automatically
by pressure being applied from outside to cylinder.
Note:
1) In order to prevent hose break valve acting mistakenly, platform lowering
speed adjustment should not exceed 9m/mim for which fitted with hose break
valve. Too fast descending may actuates hose break valve acting and infect the
platform normal lowering operation.
2) When hose break valve take effect and prevent undue and uncontrolled
platform movement, there maybe still exists a slowly descending of platform.
Once pipe breaks occurs, as long as the platform is hold on position, a steel
rod should be used to block and held the aluminum mast which connected
directly to hydraulic cylinder until the broken pipes are replaced or repaired.
18
Page 19 of 34
The steel rod should be removed as long as the hydraulic system is working in
order again.
7.6.1 Apply lubricating oil on the rotational friction surface between the chain wheel and its
shaft by means of a lubricating gun. The oil-filling nipple is located on the side of the
chain wheel. Lift the mast if necessary to locate the oil-filling nipple.
7.6.2 Apply lubricating oil on the rotational friction surface between the chain and chain
wheel by means of a lubricating gun.
7.6.3 Apply calcium-based lubricating grease on the plane friction surface between the rails
of the contacting masts by means of a brush. (e.g. Mobiltac 81, Shell Livona 3,
Castrol CL)
7.6.4 Apply lubricating oil on the rotational friction surface between chassis wheel and its
shaft by means of a lubricating gun.
8.1 Problem 1 – Electrical power indicator light is off and there is no lifting and lowering
operation.
8.1.1 Check that the electrical cord is correctly plugged into the socket.
8.1.2 Check the circuit breaker to make sure it’s in ‘ON’ position.
8.1.3 Check the leakage breaker to make sure it’s in ‘ON’ position.
8.2 Problem 2 – The power indication light is on, but there is a ‘dadada…” sound in the
electric box when the ‘ascend’ button is pressed and the platform either does not lift
or cannot be lifted fully.
8.2.1 Check the electrical cable to see if it is too long or too thin. The diameter of cable
wire should be minimum 1.0 mm when the wire length is less than 25 meters, and
minimum 1.5 mm when the wire length is above 25 meters and less than 50 meters.
You can try to plug the equipment cord directly in the fixed socket, instead of to an
extension cord.
8.2.2 Check power voltage to make sure it is within allowable limits.
19
Page 20 of 34
8.3 Problem 3 – Excessive noise from hydraulic power unit during ‘lifting’ operation.
8.3.1 Check oil tank to make sure there is sufficient hydraulic oil in the tank.
8.3.2 Check the oil pump suction line connections for tightness, as air would get into the
oil line via the oil pump.
8.3.3 Check the mounting screws of the electric motor, and cover etc. to see if they have
become loose.
8.3.4 The ambient temperature should be within.
8.5 Problem 5 – Platform undue descending slowly and not able to held the platform in
position
8.5.1 Make sure the platform descending is caused by the solenoid valve, and then follows
the procedures bellows:
