Do not alter or disable machine components that in
any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not replace factory-installed tires with tires of
different specification or ply rating.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
ground controls.
Do not use air-filled tires. These machines are
equipped with foam-filled tires. Wheel weight is
critical to stability.
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform
without prior written permission from the
manufacturer. Mounting attachments for holding
tools or other materials onto the platform,
toeboards or guard rail system can increase the
weight in the platform and the surface area of the
platform or the load.
