Allow for platform movement, electrical line sway or sag and beware of strong or gusty winds.
Keep away from the machine if it contacts energized power lines. Personnel on the ground or in the platform must not touch or operate the machine until energized power lines are shut off.
Do not operate the machine during lightning or storms.
Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
Tip-over Hazards
Occupants, equipment and materials shall not exceed the maximum platform capacity.

Do not raise or extend the boom unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.
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.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level surface before raising the platform. If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme caution to retract the boom and lower the platform. Do not rotate the boom while lowering. Move the machine to a firm, level surface before raising the platform.
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.

Do not drive over 0.6 mph / 1 km/h with the primary boom raised or extended or the secondary boom raised.
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.
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.
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
SAFETY RULES
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 place or attach overhanging loads to any part of this machine.
Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or against any part of this machine.
Do not transport tools and materials unless they are evenly distributed and can be safely handled by person(s) in the platform.
Do not use the machine on a moving or mobile surface or vehicle.
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform without prior written permission from the manufacturer. 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.

Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic oil or air leak. An air leak or hydraulic leak can penetrate and/or burn skin.
Always operate the machine in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
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.
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.
Explosion Hazard
Keep sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries emit explosive gas.

Pre-operation Inspection
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this operator's manual.
1Avoid hazardous situations.
2Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
Know and understand the pre-operation inspection before going on to the next section.
3Always perform function tests prior to use.
4Inspect the workplace.
5Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-operation nspection and routine maintenance.
The pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior to each work shift. The inspection is designed to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a machine before the operator performs the function tests.
The pre-operation inspection also serves to determine if routine maintenance procedures are required. Only routine maintenance items specified in this manual may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each of the items.
If damage or any unauthorized variation from factory delivered condition is discovered, the machine must be tagged and removed from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a qualified service technician, according to the manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are completed, the operator must perform a pre-operation inspection again before going on to the function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be performed by qualified service technicians, according to the manufacturer's specifications and the requirements listed in the responsibilities manual.
