•NEVER operate the machine if all guardrails are not properly in place and secured with all fasteners properly torqued.

•ALWAYS close and secure the entrance after entering the platform.

•NEVER use ladders or scaffolding on the platform.

•NEVER exceed the maximum platform load. See “Specifications” on page 16.

•NEVER attach overhanging loads or increase platform size.

•LOOK up, down and around for overhead obstructions and electrical conductors.

•DISTRIBUTE all platform loads evenly on the platform.

•NEVER use damaged equipment. (Contact UpRight for instructions. See toll free phone number on inside back cover.)

•NEVER change operating or safety systems.

•INSPECT the machine thoroughly for cracked welds, loose or missing hardware, hydraulic leaks, damaged cables or hoses, loose wire connections, and wheel bolts.
