Do not raise or extend the boom unless both axles are extended.
Do not raise or extend the boom unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on tilt alarm as a level indicator. Tilt alarm sounds in platform only when machine is on a severe slope.
If tilt alarm sounds:
Do not extend, rotate or raise boom above horizontal. Move machine to a firm, level surface before raising platform. If tilt alarm sounds when platform is raised, use extreme caution to retract boom and lower platform. Do not rotate boom while lowering. Move machine to a firm, level surface before raising platform.
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.
SAFETY RULES
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain, unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions with the boom raised or extended.
Do not push off or pull toward any object outside of the platform.
Maximum allowable side force-ANSI & CSA
150 lbs
667 N
Maximum allowable manual force - CE
90 lbs
400 N
Do not alter or disable machine components that in any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability with items of different weight or specification.
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform. 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.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the machine in stowed position across uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and near holes and drop-offs.

SAFETY RULES
Do not place or attach overhanging loads to any part of this machine.
Do not place ladders or scaffolds in platform or against any part of this machine.
Do not use machine on a moving or mobile surface or vehicle.
Be sure all tires are in good condition, air-filled tires are properly inflated and lug nuts are properly tightened.
Models with 750 lb (340 kg) Capacity: Do not use air-filled tires. Models are equipped with foamfilled tires. The wheel weight and the proper counterweight configuration are critical for machine stability.
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.
Fall Hazards
Occupants must wear a safety belt or harness in accordance with governmental regulations. Attach lanyard to anchor provided in platform.
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 entry mid-rail or close the entry gate before operating.
Bodily Injury Hazard
Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic oil or air leak. An air or hydraulic leak can penetrate and/or burn skin.
Always operate machine in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Collision Hazards
Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots when driving or operating.
Be aware of boom position and tailswing when rotating turntable.
Check work area for overhead obstructions or other possible hazards.
Be aware of crushing hazard when grasping the platform guard rail.
It is recommended that operators wear an approved hard hat when operating the machine.
Observe and use color-coded direction arrows on the platform controls and drive chassis for drive and steer functions.
SAFETY RULES
Do not lower the boom unless the area below is clear of personnel and obstructions.
Limit travel speed according to condition of ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel and any other factors which may cause collision.
Do not operate a boom in the path of any crane unless the controls of the crane have been locked out and/or precautions have been taken to prevent any potential collision.
No stunt driving or horseplay while operating a machine.
Component Damage Hazards
Do not use any battery or charger greater than 12V to jump-start the engine.
Do not use machine as a ground for welding.
Be sure hydraulic shutoff valves (located by hydraulic tank) are open before starting engine.
