SHALL BE MADE
• Do not operate any machine on which the safety or instruction placards or decals are
missing or illegible.
• Avoid any build up of debris on platform floor. Keep mud, oil, grease, and other slippery
substances from footwear and platform floor.
1.3 OPERATION
General
• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than positioning personnel, their tools and
• Never operate a machine that is not working properly. If a malfunction occurs, shut down

personnel in the platform, except in an emergency.
• Always ensure that power tools are properly stowed and never left hanging by their cord
from the platform work area.
• Fully lower mast assembly and shut off all power before leaving machine.
9
• When performing welding operations at elevation, precautions must be taken to protect all
machine components from contact with weld splatter or molten metal.
• Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and clothing at all times.
• Charge batteries on in a well ventilated area.
Trip and Fall Hazard
• The manufacturer recommends that the operator in the platform wear a full body harness with a
lanyard attached to an authorized lanyard anchorage point. For further information
regarding fall protection requirements on the products, contact the manufacturer.
• Before operating the machine, make sure all railing and gates are fastened in their proper
position.
• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at all times. Never use ladders,
boxes, steps, planks, or similar items on platform to provide additional reach.
• Never use the mast assembly to enter or leave the platform.
• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving platform. Ensure that the mast assembly is
fully lowered. Face the machine when entering or leaving the platform. Always maintain
“three point contact” with the machine, using two hands and one foot or two feet and one
hand at all times during entry and exit.
• Platform-to-structure transfers at elevated positions are discouraged. Where transfer is
necessary, enter/exit through the gate only with the platform within 1 foot (0.3m) of a safe
and secure structure. 100% tie-off is also required in this situation utilizing two lanyards.
One lanyard must be attached to the platform with the second lanyard attached to the structure.
The lanyard connected to the platform must not be disconnected until such time the
transfer to the structure is safe and complete.

NOTE: This Minimum Safe Approach Distance shall apply except where employer, local,
or governmental regulations are more stringent.
Table
1-1.
Minimum
Safe
Approach Distance (M.S.A.D.)
Maintain a clearance of at least 10 ft (3m) between any part of the machine and its
occupants, their tools, and their equipment from any electrical line or apparatus carrying
up to 50,000 volts. One foot (0.3m) additional clearance is required for every additional
30,000 volts or less.
The minimum safe approach distance may be reduced if insulating barriers are installed to prevent
contact, and if the barriers are rated for the voltage of the line being guarded. These barriers
shall not be part of (or attached to) the machine. The minimum safe approach distance shall be
reduced to a distance within the designed working dimensions of the insulating barrier. This
determination shall be made by a qualified person in accordance with
employer, local, or governmental requirements for work practices near energized equipment.
Safety Rules for Electrical Control System
• Only personnel who are properly trained and have adequate knowledge and skill should
undertake all electrical/electronic troubleshooting and repair.
• Do not alter or bypass protective interlocks.
• Before starting, read and observe all warning labels.
• When trouble shooting make sure the power source has been disconnected and main
switch has been locked.
• Take extra precautions in damp areas to protect you from accidental grounding.
• Before applying power to any equipment it must be established, without a doubt, that all
persons are clear.
• Do not open the electrical control panel unless it is necessary to check the electrical
equipment.
• Do not alter the electrical circuits unless authorized to do so by the manufacturer.
• When replacing electrical components, make sure they conform to the manufacturer’s
specifications, including proper color coding.
• Do not wear metal frame glasses, metallic necklaces or chains while working on any
electrical equipment. Also do not wear any ring, watch or bracelet while operating
electrical equipment.
11
Tipping Hazard
• The user should be familiar with the surface before driving. Do not exceed the allowable
side slope and grade while driving.
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated while on a slope, or on an uneven
or soft surface.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other surfaces, check allowable capacity of
the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute loads evenly on platform floor.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft. (0.6m) from holes, bumps, drop-offs,
obstructions, debris, concealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground level.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-off machine to any adjacent
structure.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck extensions or attachments,
increasing the area exposed to wind will decrease stability.
• If mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or more wheels are off the ground,
the operator must be removed before attempting to free the machine. Use cranes, forklift
trucks, or other appropriate equipment to stabilize machine and remove personnel.
Crushing And Collision Hazard
• Personal protection equipment must be worn by all operating and ground personnel.
• Check work area clearances above, on sides, and bottom of platform while driving and
lifting or lowering platform
• During operation, keep all body parts inside platform railing.
• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision is obstructed.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away from machine during all driving
operations.
• Limit travel speed according to conditions of ground surface, congestion, visibility, slope,
location of personnel, and other factors causing hazards of collision or injury to personnel.
• Be aware of stopping distances in restricted or close quarters or when driving in reverse.
12
• Do not drive at high speeds in restricted or close quarters or when driving in reverse.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles from striking or interfering with
operating controls and persons in the platform.
• Ensure that operators of other overhead and floor level machines are aware of the aerial
work platform’s presence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk unde
floor as necessary.
1.4
TOWING, LIFTING,
• Never allow personnel in platform while towing, lifting, or hauling.
• This machine should not be towed, except in the event of emergency, malfunction, power
failure, or loading/unloading. Refer to the Emergency Procedures Section of this manual
for emergency towing procedures.
• Ensure platform is fully retracted and completely empty of tools prior to towi
hauling.
• Do not assist a stuck or disabled machine by pushing or pulling except by pulling at the
chassis tie-down bars.
• When lifting machine with a forklift, position forks only at designated areas of the machine.
Lift with a forklift of adequate capacity.
• Refer to the Machine Operation section of this manual for lifting information.
