SAFETY RULES

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 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

groundcontrols.

Do not push off or pull

toward any object outside

of the platform.

Maximum allowable

manual force

ANSI/CSA 100 lbs / 445 N

CE 45 lbs / 200 N

Do not alter or disable machine components that in

any way affect safety and stability.

Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform.

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 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

platformraised.

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.

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.
