Work Area Safety
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.

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.
