Important

Plywood cribbing may be used to provide a level
surface for safe boom operation. This instruction
manual contains specifications for site constructed
cribbing that, when used as instructed, may be
considered firm and level ground. Cribbing may be used

instructions contained in the Operator's Manual for each

Safety Rules

Do not drive the machine on cribbing with the
platform raised.

Do not use cribbing over a hole, depression or
bump in the supporting surface.

Danger

Failure to read, understand and
obey all warnings and instructions
provided in this manual and the
appropriate operator's manual will
result in death or serious injury.

Use of plywood cribbing to
provide a level surface for safe
aerial lift operation is authorized
by Genie only if the following
safety rules and requirements
are followed:

Machines must be equipped with a lock-out switch
that disables the drive function when the platform is
elevated. NOTE: If the machine does not have a
lock-out switch, contact your Genie dealer to order
a switch installation kit.

Do not raise the platform when wind speeds may
exceed 15 mph.

Do not use cribbing that is not built to the
specifications outlined in this manual.

Operators must be trained in the safe use of aerial
lifts on cribbing, using the information contained in
this manual.

Do not use on booms over 85 feet (maximum
platform height).

Do not use on any aerial equipment other than the
models approved in this manual.

Do not use on a surface that is not firm (capable of
supporting the weight of the machine without
cribbing).

Do not use on a slope greater than 6° (10%).
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is

level.
