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.
