Work Area Safety
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 while the boom is lowered:
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. Identify the condition of the
boom on the slope as shown below. Follow the
steps to lower the boom before moving to a firm,
level surface. Do not rotate the boom while
lowering.

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 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 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.
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.
