machine operation contained in this operator’s manual.

1 Avoid hazardous situations.

2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.

3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

4 Inspect the workplace.

5 Only use the machine as it was

intended.

The Operating Instructions section provides instructions for each aspect of machine operation. It is the operator’s responsibility to follow all the safety rules and instructions in the operator’s, safety, and responsibilities manuals.

Using the machine for anything other than lifting personnel, along with their tools and materials, to an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous.

Only trained and authorized personnel should be permitted to operate a machine. If more than one operator is expected to use a machine at different times in the same work shift, they must all be qualified operators and are all expected to follow all safety rules and instructions in the operator’s, safety, and responsibilities manuals. That means every new operator should perform a pre-operation inspection, function tests, and a workplace inspection before using the machine.

Operating Instructions

Driving on a slope

Determine the slope and side slope ratings for the machine and determine the slope grade.

Maximum slope rating, stowed position:

GS-1330m 25% 14°

Maximum side slope rating, stowed position:

GS-1330m 25% 14°

To determine the slope grade:

Measure the slope with a digital inclinometer OR use the following procedure.

You will need:

 carpenter’s level  straight piece of wood, at least 3 feet/1 m long  tape measure

Lay the piece of wood on the slope.

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions with one person in the platform and adequate traction. Additional platform weight may reduce slope rating.

At the downhill end, lay the level on the top edge of the piece of wood and lift the end until the piece of wood is level.

While holding the piece of wood level, measure the vertical distance from the bottom of the piece of wood to the ground.

Divide the tape measure distance (rise) by the length of the piece of wood (run) and multiply by

100.

Example:

Piece of wood = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Run = 144 inches (3.6 m)

Rise = 12 inches (0.3 m)

12 in ÷ 144 in = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade

0.3 m ÷ 3.6 m = 0.083 x 100 = 8.3% grade

If the slope exceeds the maximum slope or side slope rating, then the machine must be winched or transported up or down the slope. See Transport and Lifting section.
