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 0.5 mph / 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.

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.

SAFETY RULES
Battery Safety
Burn Hazards
Batteries contain acid. Always wear protective clothing and eyewear 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 65 pounds / 30 kg.
