Operator's Manual
Work Area Safety
Do not tie the platform to adjacent structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
Do not alter or disable machine components that in
any way affect safety and 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.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not raise the platform when wind speeds may
exceed 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed 12.5 m/s
when the platform is raised, lower the platform 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.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the platform raised.
