Work Area Safety
Do not raise or extend the boom unless the
machine is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above
horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface before raising the platform. If the tilt alarm
sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme
caution to retract the boom and lower the platform.
Do not rotate the boom while lowering. Move the
machine to a firm, level surface before raising the
platform.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform uphill:
First lower the boom, then retract the
boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform downhill:
First retract the boom, then lower the
boom.
10
Do not raise the boom when wind speeds may
exceed 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed 12.5 m/s
when the boom is raised, lower the boom and do
not continue to operate the machine.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the surface area of the
platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed to
the wind will decrease machine stability.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in the stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and
near holes and drop-offs.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the boom raised or extended.
Do not use the machine as a crane.
Do not push the machine or other objects with the
boom.
Do not contact adjacent structures with the boom.
Do not tie the boom or platform to adjacent
structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
