SAFETY RULES

Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on

a firm, level surface.

Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.

The tilt alarm sounds only when the machine is on

a slope.

If the tilt alarm sounds:

Lower the platform immediately. Move the machine

to a firm, level surface. If the tilt alarm sounds

when the platform is raised, use extreme caution to

lower the platform.

Do not alter or disable the limit switches.

Do not drive over 0.5 mph / 0.8 km/h with the

platform raised.

Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving

the machine in the stowed position across uneven

terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and

near holes and drop-offs.

Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds

the slope and side slope rating of the

machine.Slope rating applies to machines in the

stowed position.

Maximum slope rating, stowed position 30% (17°)

Maximum side slope rating,

stowed position 30% (17°)

SAFETY RULES

Do not use the platform controls to free a platform

that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented

from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All

personnel must be removed from the platform

before attempting to free the platform using the

ground controls.

Do not push off or pull toward any object outside of

the platform.

Maximum allowable

side force

ANSI/CSA

100 lbs / 445 N

Maximum allowable

manual force

AUS

45 lbs / 200 N

Do not transport tools and materials unless they are

evenly distributed and can be safely handled by

person(s) in the platform.

Do not alter or disable machine components that in

any way affect safety and stability.

Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform

without prior written permission from the

manufacturer. Mounting attachments for holding

tools or other materials onto the platform, toeboards

or guard rail system can increase the weight in the

platform and the surface area of the platform or the

load.

Do not raise the mast when wind speeds may

exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed

28 mph / 12.5 m/s when the plaform is raised, lower

the platform and do not continue to operate the

machine.

Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty

winds. Do not increase the surface area of the

platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed to

the wind will decrease machine stability.

Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,

unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions

with the platform raised.

Do not replace items critical to machine stability

with items of different weight or specification.

Do not use the machine on a moving or mobile

surface or vehicle.

Do not place or attach fixed or overhanging loads to

any part of this machine.

Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or

against any part of this machine.

Be sure all tires are in good condition, castle nuts

are properly tightened and cotter pins are properly

installed.

Third Edition • Second Printing

Part No. 97773 GR-12 • GR-15 • GR-20 5

Do not use batteries that weigh less than the

original equipment. Batteries are used as

counterweight and are critical to machine stability.

Each battery must weigh 62 pounds / 28 kg.

Do not use the machine as a crane.

Do not push the machine or other objects with the

platform.

Do not contact adjacent structures with the

platform.

Do not tie the platform to adjacent structures.

Fall Hazards

The guard rail system provides fall protection. If

occupants of the platform are required to wear

personal fall protection equipment (PFPE) due to

job site or employer rules, PFPE equipment and its

use shall be in accordance with the PFPE

manufacturer’s instructions and applicable

governmental requirements.

Do not sit, stand or climb on the platform guard

rails. Maintain a firm footing on the platform floor at

all times.

Do not climb down from the platform when raised.

Keep the platform floor clear of debris.

Lower the platform mid-rail bar or close the platform

entry gate before operating.

Collision Hazards

Be aware of limited sight

distance and blind spots

when driving or

operating.

Be aware of the extended platform position when

moving the machine.

Operators must comply with employer, job site and

governmental rules regarding use of personal

protective quipment.

Check the work area for overhead obstructions or

other possible hazards.

Be aware of crushing hazards when grasping the

platform guard rail.

Observe and use the color-coded direction arrows

on the platform controls and platform decal plate for

drive and steer functions.

No stunt driving or horseplay while operating a

machine.

clear of personnel and obstructions.

Limit travel speed according to the condition of the

ground surface, congestion, slope, location of

personnel, and any other factors which may cause

collision.

Do not operate a machine in the path of any crane

or moving overhead machinery unless the controls

of the crane have been locked out and/or

precautions have been taken to prevent any

potential collision.

Crushing Hazard

clamps with tools that may cause sparks.

Component Damage Hazard

Do not use any battery charger greater than 24V to

charge the batteries.

Electrocution Hazards

Connect the battery charger to a

grounded, AC 3-wire electrical

outlet only.

Inspect daily for damaged cord,

cables and wires. Replace

damaged items before

operating.

Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery

terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other

jewelry.

Tip-over Hazard

Do not use batteries that weigh less than the

original equipment. Batteries are used as

counterweight and are critical to machine stability.

Each battery must weigh 62 pounds / 28 kg.
