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 on the chassis only when the machine is on a slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform. 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 0.7 km/h with the platform raised.

SAFETY RULES
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.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the machine in a stowed position across uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and near holes and drop-offs.
Do not push off or pull toward any object outside of the platform.

Do not alter or disable machine components that in any way affect safety and stability.
Do not place or attach fixed or overhanging loads to any part of this machine.
Do not transport tools and materials unless they are evenly distributed and can be safely handled by person(s) in the platform.
Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or against any part of this machine.
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 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.
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 30 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.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
Do not operate the machine with the chassis trays open.
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.
SAFETY RULES
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.
Attach the platform entry chain or close the entry gate before operating.
Do not operate the machine unless the guard rails are properly installed and the entry is secured for operation.

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.
The machine must be on a level surface or secured before releasing the brakes.
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.
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 Hazards
Keep hands and limbs out of scissors.
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.

Decal Legend
Genie product decals use symbols, color coding and signal words to identify the following:
Safety alert symbol—used to alert personnel to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Red—used to indicate the 
presence of an imminently 
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Orange—used to indicate the presence of a potentially 
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Yellow with safety alert symbol— 
used to indicate the presence of a 
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may cause minor or moderate injury.
Yellow without safety alert symbol—used to indicate the presence of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

SAFETY RULES
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.
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 30 kg.
