SAFETY SYMBOLS

This manual contains important information on the safe use of your Self-Propelled Aerial Work Platform. Your failure to read, understand and follow all safety rules, warnings and instructions will unnecessarily expose you and others to dangerous situations. For your safety and the safety of those around you, you must operate your aerial work platform as instructed in this manual.

You, the operator, are the single most important factor for safety when using any piece of equipment. Learn to operate your work platform in a safe manner.

To help you recognize important safety information, we have identified warnings and instructions that directly impact on safety with the following signals:

A DANGER

"DANGER" INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. THIS SIGNAL WORD IS TO BE LIMITED TO THE MOST EXTREME SITUATIONS.

"WARNING" INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

A CAUTION

"Caution" indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to alert against unsafe practices and for property-damage-only situations.

One final note: The best method to protect yourself and others from injury or death is to use common sense. If you are unsure of any operation, don't start until you are satisfied that it is safe to proceed.

Page 13

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

• ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!! THIS MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED!! Maintain safe clearance from electrical lines and apparatus. You must allow for machine sway (side to side movement) when elevated, and electrical line movement. This machine does not provide protection from contact with or proximity to an electrically charged conductor.

You must AVOID CONTACT between any part of the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying up to 300 volts.

You must maintain a CLEARANCE OF AT LEAST 10 FEET (3.05 m) between any part of the machine, or its load, and any electrical line or apparatus carrying over 300 volts up to 50,000 volts. One foot (30.5 cm) additional clearance is required for every additional 30,000 volts.

DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY will result from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, any electrically charged conductor.

Read and understand all safety and control information found on the machine and in this manual before operating the machine.
Only trained, competent personnel should operate the aerial work platform.
Be aware of all Government and Local rules which may apply to this machine and its safe operation.
Approved safety belts must be worn at all times when operating the machine from the platform. In addition, approved headgear and other protective equipment must be worn as required. (In the U.S.A., OSHA approved equipment is required. For other countries, the appropriate equivalent government body should be consulted.)
NEVER fasten safety belt to an adjacent structure while on the work platform.
Make sure that entry gate to platform is secured before operating the machine from the platform.
DO NOT block the foot pedal or any function control in the operating position.
DO NOT exceed the platform capacity of the machine in any configuration. Review the section titled "MACHINE SPECIFICATIONS", earlier in this manual, regarding this model's capacities and dimensions.

Page 14

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)

A DANGER

SECURE all tools and other loose items to prevent injury to persons working on or below the work platform.
DO NOT use scaffolding, ladders or similar items to extend your reach while on the work platform.
DO NOT attempt to climb down the boom assembly, if the machine fails while the operator's platform is raised or extended.
Since the machine may be operated from its ground controls, precautions should be taken to prevent unauthorized personnel from operating the work platform with the ground controls while the platform is in use.
The "UNPOWERED EMERGENCY MOVEMENT" procedure (described later in this manual) requires releasing the torque hubs, which results in there being no means to stop the machine's travel. Terex recommends using this procedure only in cases of emergency, and only for a short distance. Be on guard against machine runaway on sloping surfaces. Movement speed shall not exceed 1 mph (1.6 kph).
DO NOT attempt to open any hydraulic line or component without first relieving all system pressures and shutting off fluid flow from the tank.
DO NOT allow anyone to tamper with, service or operate the machine from the ground control station while personnel are on the platform, except in an emergency.
DO NOT alter, modify or disable any safety devices or interlocks.
DO NOT refuel the machine near sparks or open flames. Gasoline and propane vapors, and Diesel fuel fumes are highly explosive.
DO NOT use the aerial work platform outdoors in electrical storms or in high wind situations.
DO NOT raise the aerial work platform unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.

Page 15

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)

Use caution to prevent ropes, cords, hoses, etc. from becoming entangled in the machine's boom sections when being raised, lowered or repositioned.
Ensure that the area surrounding the mobile platform is clear of personnel and equipment before: driving the machine; or raising, lowering or extending the boom; or swinging the superstructure; or, rotating or tilting the platform.
Maintain a safe distance from overhead and ground obstacles, debris, drop-offs, holes, depressions, electrical wires and other hazards to travel.
Limit travel speed according to conditions of the ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel or any other factors that could cause hazard of collision or injury to personnel.
DO NOT sit, stand or climb on platform rails.
DO NOT operate this machine while under the influence of any drugs or alcohol.
DO NOT operate this machine if you are bothered by heights, seizures, or dizzy spells.
DO NOT indulge in stunt driving or horseplay while operating this machine.

Complete the "Operational Checklists" found in this manual (see Table of Contents) at designated intervals.
Ensure that the machine is in "LOW" drive speed while unloading from a truck or trailer.
Always attach the machine to a winch when loading or unloading from a truck or trailer. Terex does not recommend unassisted loading or unloading of any aerial work platform.
With the platform swung away from the stowed position, use caution when selecting travel or steering direction. Travel and steer direction will be opposite switch or lever movement. Refer to the large "FORWARD" arrows on the undercarriage of the machine or the location of the superstructure lockpin hole for travel orientation.

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)

Check fuel system for leaks or damaged fuel lines before operating the machine. If any damage is found, contact your supervisor immediately. Machine shall be removed from service until diagnosis and any necessary repairs have been completed.
Actuation of the red "EMERGENCY STOP" will apply brakes immediately, causing unexpected platform movement as the machine comes to a sudden stop. Brace yourself.
Whenever disengaging the drive torque hubs or before disconnection from towing vehicle, ensure that the machine cannot roll.
Immediately report any erratic noises, vibrations or malfunctions of the machine to your supervisor. Machine shall be removed from service until diagnosis and any necessary repairs have been completed.
Operating this equipment without all safety and control decals in place can be hazardous.

For transporting the machine, the platform must not be tied to the trailer bed in any way.
Be sure to turn all hydraulic valves back "ON" before starting the machine, or extensive pump damage will occur.
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform horizontal pull of 100 pounds (45.4 kg).
DO NOT use the boom or platform as a crane to lift oversized or hanging loads.
DO NOT raise, extend, retract, tilt, rotate, or lower the platform or booms into stationary objects, as this will cause damage to mechanical and hydraulic components.
DO NOT use the platform or boom functions to push or tow the machine or another vehicle.
Avoid sudden braking or steering, go slowly and leave more maneuvering room during cold weather operation until the machine is warm.

Page 17

ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

BATTERY (ACID/LEAD)

Spilled or leaked battery acid:

Neutralize the spilled quantity with baking soda or calcium-oxide by spreading, mixing, etc. Make certain that the mixture is neutral. Then collect the residue in a suitable Container. Dispose of battery acid as special waste.
Always wear acid-resistant boots and gloves and use suitable face/ eye protection.
Do not allow non-neutralized acid to escape into the sewage system or open bodies of water.

Damaged or unuseable lead batteries filled with sulfuric acid:

Damaged or unusable batteries must be disposed only by authorized disposal companies after emptying and collecting the sulfuric acid.
Dispose lead-containing sulfuric acid as special waste.

DIESEL FUEL

Diesel fuel is a material which contaminates water and must under no circumstances reach the sewage system or open waters!
Spilled or leaked quantities must be restricted to as small an area as possible. Efforts should be made to recoup as much of the fluid as possible by scooping or vacuuming it up. Remove the remainder by sweeping with liquid absorbing materials (oil binding agents).
Scooped up or vacuumed up Diesel fuel oil may be reused after proper filtering.
Materials or soil contaminated by Diesel fuel must be placed in a suitable container and disposed of according to the State and local special waste disposal regulations!

UNLOADING PROCEDURES (CONTINUED)

• Switch the "GROUND/ PLATFORM" key switch to "GROUND". Start engine, using the ground controls.

NOTE: Refer to Startup Procedures and Operator Controls Descriptions in this section.

While pressing the "MAIN PUMP" toggle switch on the ground controls, flip and hold a boom function toggle. This is called "deadheading", and will lead to maximum system pressure registering on the gauge at the ground control valve assembly. Check the hydraulic pressure (see Machine Specifications). Turn off engine.

Remove all machine tie downs (see Transporting the Machine). Remove wheel chocks, if used. Switch the "GROUND/ PLATFORM" key switch to "PLATFORM".
Enter the platform, and restart the engine using the platform controls. Select the "OPERATING" engine speed, and test all platform functions.
Raise the boom so that the platform will clear any obstacles as the machine is driven down the loading ramp.
Carefully drive the machine off the truck or trailer with the assistance of a winch.

NOTE: The brakes are automatically released for driving, and will automatically apply when the machine stops.

• Before placing the machine into service, all operators must read and understand the contents of this Operator's Manual.

Upon initial unloading of the machine the "Receipt Inspection Adjustment Report" or "Predelivery Inspection Adjustment Report" must be completed and returned in order to activate the Terex Limited Warranty.

An Operator's Manual is included with each machine leaving the factory.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

GENERAL MAINTENANCE TIPS

Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. They must be protected from contamination (including rain) at all times.
Never open a hydraulic system or disassemble engine when there are contaminants in the air.
Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible lubricants may be as harmful as no lubrication (see Lubrication Chart).
ALWAYS clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic system or disassembling engine systems.
Watch for makeshift "fixes" which can jeopardize safety as well as lead to more costly repairs.
Any work platform found not to be in safe operating condition should be removed from service until repaired. All repairs should be made by authorized personnel in conformance with the operator's, service, and repair manuals of the manufacturer.
