Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.

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 drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the slope and side slope rating of the machine.

Maximum slope rating, stowed position,

GS-1530 and GS-1530 30% (17°) GS-1930 and GS-1932 25% (14°)

SAFETY RULES

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 platform when wind speeds may exceed 12.5 m/s.If wind speeds exceed 12.5 m/s when the platform 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 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 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 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 batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Batteries are used as counterweight and are critical to machine stability. Each battery must weigh 29.5 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.

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 and close the entry gate before operating.

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 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.

Do not operate the machine unless the guard rails are properly installed and the entry is secured for operation.

Collision Hazards

Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots when driving or operating.

Be aware of extended platform position when moving the machine.

The machine must be on a level surface or secured before releasing the brakes.

Part No. 1000032 GS-1530 • GS-1532 • GS-1930 • GS-1932 5

Limit travel speed according to the condition of the ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel, and any other factors which may cause collision.

Operator's Manual Third Edition • Second Printing

SAFETY RULES

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.

Do not work under the platform or in the scissor links without the safety arm in place.

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.

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 29.5 kg.

Lifting Hazard

Use the appropriate number of people and proper lifting techniques when lifting batteries.

Do not contact the battery terminals or the cable clamps with tools that may cause sparks.
