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, cranes, roof structures, buildings etc.). All other uses of the aerial work platform are prohibited!
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 specified permissible maximum load is prohibited! See “Platform Capacity” on page 4 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 4 for details.
DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.
NEVER operate the machine without first 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 when wind speeds exceed this machine’s wind rating. See “Beaufort Scale” on page 4 for details.
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 firm, 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 and securely
locked!
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 flame. Charging batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas.
Modifications to the aerial work platform are prohibited or permissible only at the approval by
AFTER USE, secure the work platform from unauthorized use by turning the keyswitch off and removing key.
NEVER elevate the platf orm 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.

Before operat ing the machine, survey the work area for surface hazards such as holes, drop-offs, bumps
and debris.
Check in ALL directions, including above the work platform, for obstructions and electrical cond u cto rs.
Protect the control console cable from possible damage while performing checks.
