SAFETY RULES
Warning
All personnel shall carefully read, understand and follow all safety rules and operating instructions
before operating or performing maintenance on any Pop Up aerial work platform.
Electrocution Hazard Tip Over Hazard Collision Hazard Fall Hazard
THIS MACHINE IS NOT INSULATED!
USE OF THE AERIAL WORK PLATFORM: This aerial work platform is intended to lift persons and his tools as well as the
material used for the job. It is designed for repair and assembly jobs and assignments at overhead workplaces (ceilings, buildings etc.). Uses or alterations to the aerial work platform must be approved by Pop Up.
THIS AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT INSULATED! For this reason it is imperative to keep a safe distance from live parts of electrical equipment!
Exceeding the specied permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Platform Capacity” on page 5 for details. The use and operation of the aerial work platform as a lifting tool or a crane is prohibited!
NEVER exceed the manual force allowed for this machine. See “Manual Force” on page 5 for details. DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform. NEVER operate the machine without rst surveying the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps, curbs,
or debris; and avoiding them.
OPERATE machine only on surfaces capable of supporting wheel loads. NEVER operate the machine outdoors or indoors when wind speeds exceed 0 m/s (0 mph).
Do not operate the aerial platform in windy or gusty conditions. Do not add anything to or take anything into the aerial platform that will increase the wind loading such as billboards, banners, flags, etc.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY push EMERGENCY STOP switch to deactivate all powered functions. IF ALARM SOUNDS while platform is elevated, STOP, carefully lower platform. Move machine to a rm, level surface.
Climbing up the railing of the platform, standing on or stepping from the platform onto buildings, steel or prefab concrete structures, etc., is prohibited!
Dismantling the entry gate or other railing components is prohibited! Always make certain that the entry gate is closed! It is prohibited to keep the entry gate in an open position when the platform is raised! To extend the height or the range by placing of ladders, scaffolds or similar devices on the platform is prohibited!
NEVER perform service on machine while platform is elevated without blocking elevating assembly. INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, loose wire connections, and
damaged cables or hoses before using.
VERIFY that all labels are in place and legible before using. NEVER use a machine that is damaged, not functioning properly, or has damaged or missing labels.
To bypass any safety equipment is prohibited and presents a danger for the persons on the aerial work platform and in its working range.
NEVER charge batteries near sparks or open ame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas. Modications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by Pop Up.
AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning the keyswitch off and removing key.
The driving of MEWP’s on the public highway is subject to national trafc regulations.
Certain inherent risks remain in the operation of this machine despite utilizing proper design practices and safeguarding. Care must be taken to ensure that the machines meets the requirements of stability during use, transportation, assembly,
dismantling when out of service, testing, or foreseeable breakdowns. In the event of an accident or breakdown see “Emergency Lowering” on page 11, do not operate the aerial platform if it is
damaged or not functioning properly. Qualied maintenance personnel must correct the problem before putting the aerial
platform back into service.
NEVER elevate the platform or drive the machine while elevated unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.
NEVER position the platform without first checking for overhead obstructions or other hazards.
NEVER climb, stand, or sit on platform guardrails or midrail.

Special Limitations
Special Limitations
Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level surfaces only.
Danger
The elevating function shall ONLY be used when the work platform is level and on a firm surface.
The work platform is NOT intended to be pushed over uneven, rough, or soft terrain.
Platform Capacity
One person and tools may occupy the platform when the machine is indoors only. The maximum platform capacity for the aerial platform is stated in the “Specifications” on pages 16 to 18.
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity or the platform occupancy limits for this machine.
Manual Force
Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to objects such as walls or other structures outside the work platform.
In zero wind conditions the maximum allowable manual force is limited to 200 N.
Lift Level Sensor Interlock
The aerial platform lift function is interlocked through a level sensor system.
If the chassis is tilted more than 2 degrees side-to-side or front-to-rear, an alarm will sound when the power is turned on and the lift function will not operate. When the alarm sounds, only the platform lower function will operate.
Position the machine on a level surface when the lift level sensor alarm sounds. When the machine is properly po­sitioned on a level surface, the alarm will not sound and all functions will be operational.
The lift level sensor system is for added protection and does not justify operating on anything other than firm, flat, level surfaces.
Lowering Alarm
When a platform control button is pressed to lower the platform, the alarm emits a loud beeping sound to warn personnel in the work area to stand clear.
Danger
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death or serious injury will result if the scissors structure lowers onto personnel within the scissors arms or under the raised platform. Stand clear while raising and lowering the platform.
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual force for this machine.
Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep hands and fingers away from the scissors structures components.
Lowering Interrupt
When the platform is lowered to about 1.5 m (5) lower­ing stops. The platform will not lower for five seconds regardless of the control position to allow personnel to clear the area of the scissors before the platform com­pletely lowers.
Release the control to reset the lowering function, then continue to lower the platform.
