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.

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

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

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
