Operator's Manual

SAFETY RULES

Do not move the machine when the boom is raised. Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.

The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the machine is on a severe slope.

When the tilt alarm sounds, immediately lower the boom and adjust the outriggers to level the machine. When the alarm sounds, boom up functions will not operate.

Do not alter or disable the limit switches.

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 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.

Be sure all tires are properly inflated and in good condition and lug nuts are properly tightened.

Do not use batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Four batteries are used as counterweight and are critical to machine stability. Each battery must weigh 75 pounds / 34 kg.

Do not push the machine or other objects with the boom.

Do not contact adjacent structures with the boom. Do not tie the boom or platform to adjacent

structures.

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.

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 load.

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.
