Platform Glazier Package UseImportant Safety Information

The platform rated work load is the total weight of
the personnel and equipment that may be lifted
in the platform. The work load is stated on the
platform rating placard mounted on the toeboard
at the rear of the platform.

Danger

The aerial platform will tip over if it becomes
unstable. Death or serious injury will result
from a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the
capacity values indicated on the platform
rating placard.

Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity
and do not indicate aerial platform stability.

The operator bears ultimate responsibility for
ensuring that the aerial platform is properly set
up for the particular conditions encountered.

The maximum total load carried by the glazier
trays must not exceed 250 lb (113 kg). The
weight of the load in the trays reduces the plat­form capacity by the amount of the load.

The trays are to be used to carry glass, or similar
panel material, to the work site and should never
be used as steps.

3. Fasten the assist straps to the platform top
rail, one on each side of the platform as
shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 – Assist Straps

4. Fasten the tie-down strap between the two
assist strap loops (refer to Figure 2).

Tie-Down Strap

Make certain that the area below the platform
is clear of personnel before raising material to
the worksite.

Do not use the glazier package in windy conditions
that exceed the maximum wind speed rating as
indicated in the machine Operator’s Manual and
on the serial number placard on the machine.

Installation

The glazier package must only be installed on
platforms with side entry gates. Do not install
the glazier package on platforms that only have
entry gates at the rear of the platform.

Use the following procedure to install the plat­form glazier package on the platform.

1. If the glazier package was not factory in­stalled, refer to page 4, Kit Installation.

2. Remove the straps and trays from the stor­age box.

provided. Fasten the pin in place using the
wire bail.

7. When properly installed for use, the trays will
hang from the outside of the platform on the
toeboard as shown in Figure 4.

The trays may be hung on the inside of the
platform on the mid rail or toeboard, for short
term storage only.

Figure 4 – Glazier Trays Installed

Loading The Trays

Make certain the glazier package is properly
installed before using it on the job.

When placing glass, or similar panel material,
on the trays, always center it on the trays to
make sure the weight is evenly balanced on
the platform. Secure the load using the straps
provided, making sure the strap protectors are
placed against the rough edges of the load to
help prevent damage to the strap. Replace the
strap if it becomes worn or frayed.

Storage

When the glazier package is not in use, the
straps and Operator’s Manual should be placed
in the storage box.

Figure 6 – Glazier Tray Storage

Kit Installation

When purchased as a kit the padding and vinyl
cover must be installed on the platform guardrails
before installing the trays for use in the field.

1. Cut the foam padding to length as shown on
the installation drawing on page 5.

2. Wrap the foam padding over the platform
guardrails.

3. Cut the yellow cover to length. An additional

2″ may be added to each length of the cover.
This will allow 1″ of material to be turned

under at each end to leave a smooth edge
on the ends of the padding.

4. Use the ties provided to fasten the cover
around the foam padding.

5. Hang the compartment containing the straps
and Operator’s Manual over the mid rail as
shown in Figure 5. Secure the bracket to the
