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 0.8 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°) |
|
|
|
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions and adequate traction.

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 manual force
CE 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 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed 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.

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 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.
SAFETY RULES
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.

SAFETY RULES
Do not lower the platform unless the area below is 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
Use common sense and planning when operating the machine with the controller from the ground. Maintain safe distances between the operator, the machine and fixed objects.
Component Damage Hazard
Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
Explosion and Fire Hazard
Do not operate the machine or charge the battery in hazardous locations or locations where potentially flammable or explosive gases or particles may be present.
Damaged Machine Hazards
Do not use a damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Conduct a thorough pre-operation inspection of the machine and test all functions before each work shift. Immediately tag and remove from service a damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Be sure all maintenance has been performed as specified in this manual and the appropriate service manual.
Be sure all decals are in place and legible.
Be sure the operator’s, safety, and responsibilities manuals are complete, legible and in the storage container located on the platform.
Bodily Injury Hazard
Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic oil or air leak. An air leak or hydraulic leak can penetrate and/or burn skin.
Improper contact with components under any cover will cause serious injury. Only trained maintenance personnel should access compartments. Access by the operator is only advised when performing a pre-operation inspection. All compartments must remain closed and secured during operation.

Battery Safety
Burn Hazards
Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective clothing and eye wear when working with batteries.
Avoid spilling or contacting battery acid. Neutralize battery acid spills with baking soda and water.
Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water or rain during charging.
Explosion Hazards
Keep sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries emit an explosive gas.
The battery tray should remain open during the entire charging cycle.
Do not contact the battery terminals or the cable clamps with tools that may cause sparks.
SAFETY RULES
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 28 kg.
Lifting Hazard
Use the appropriate number of people and proper lifting techniques when lifting batteries.
