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.

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 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.
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 the stowed position across uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and near holes and drop-offs.
SAFETY RULES
Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating of the machine. Slope rating applies to machines in the stowed position.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position,
Counterweight |
uphill |
20% |
(11°) |
|
|
|
|
Counterweight |
downhill |
20% |
(11°) |
|
|
|
|
Side slope |
|
20% |
(11°) |
|
|
|
|
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions and adequate traction.
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.

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.
Be sure all tires are in good condition and lug nuts are properly tightened.
Do not use batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Batteries are used as counterweight and are critical to machine stability. Each battery must weigh 88 lbs / 40 kg. Each battery box including batteries must weigh a minimum of 452 lbs / 205 kg.
Do not use the machine as a crane.
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.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
Fall Hazards
Occupants must wear a safety belt or harness and comply with applicable governmental regulations. Attach lanyard to the anchor provided in the 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.

Collision Hazards
Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots when driving or operating.
Be aware of boom position when rotating the turntable.
The machine must be on a level surface or secured before releasing the brakes.
Do not drive the machine with the brakes released. If the travel alarm sounds when not driving, the brakes are released.
Check work area for overhead obstructions or other possible hazards.
Be aware of crushing hazards when grasping the platform guard rail.
It is recommended that operators wear an approved hard hat when operating the machine.
Observe and use the color-coded direction arrows on the platform controls and drive chassis for drive and steer functions.
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.
SAFETY RULES
Do not lower the boom unless the area below is clear of personnel and obstructions.
Limit travel speed according to the condition of the ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel, and any other factors which may cause collision.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the machine in the stowed position on any slope.
Do not drive on a slope with boom raised.
Do not allow the machine speed on any slope to exceed 3 mph / 4.8 km/h (walking pace).
Stop the machine by returning the drive control handle to the center position or releasing the foot switch.
When stopped on a slope, the machine may initially move slightly downhill when the drive control handle is moved to drive up the slope. Be sure the area behind the machine is clear.
Do not drive on a slope with the wheels turned. Be sure the wheels are aligned up and down the slope.
Always use a winch to load and unload a machine from a transport vehicle.

Decal Legend
Genie product decals use symbols, color coding and signal words to identify the following:
Safety alert symbol—used to alert personnel to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
Red—used to indicate the presence of an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Orange—used to indicate the presence of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Yellow with safety alert symbol— used to indicate the presence of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may cause minor or moderate injury.
Yellow without safety alert symbol—used to indicate the presence of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
Green—used to indicate operation or maintenance information.

SAFETY RULES
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.
The battery pack must remain in upright position.
Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water or rain.
Component Damage Hazards
Do not use any battery charger greater than 48V to charge the batteries.
Both battery packs must be charged together.
Disconnect the battery pack plug before removing the battery pack.
Electrocution Hazards
Connect the battery charger to a grounded, AC 3-wire electrical outlet only.
Inspect daily for damaged cord, cables and wires. Replace damaged items before operating.
Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other jewelry.
Explosion Hazards |
Tip-over Hazard |
Keep sparks, flames and lighted tobacco away from batteries. Batteries emit an explosive gas.
The battery pack cover must remain off during the entire charging cycle.
Do not contact the battery terminals or the cable clamps with tools that may cause sparks.
Do not use batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Batteries are used as counterweight and are critical to machine stability. Each battery must weigh 88 lbs / 40 kg. Each battery box including batteries must weigh a minimum of 452 lbs / 205 kg.
