DO NOT MANOEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE
PROHIBITED ZONE (MAD). ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS
AND WIRING ARE ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTHERWISE.
Maintain a clearance of at least 3 m between any part
of the machine and its occupants, their tools and their
equipment from any electrical line or apparatus
carrying up to 50 000 volts. A 0.3 m additional
clearance is required for every additional 30 000 volts
or less.
The minimum approach distance may be reduced if
insulating barriers are installed to prevent contact and
the barriers are rated for the voltage of the line being
guarded. These barriers shall not be part of (or
attached to) the machine. The minimum approach
distance shall be reduced to a distance within the
designed working dimensions or the insulating barrier.
This determination shall be made by a qualified person
in accordance with employer, local or governmental
requirements for work practices near energized
equipment.
Tipping Hazards
• The user should be familiar with the surface before
driving. Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and
grade while driving.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity.
Distribute loads evenly on platform floor.
• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other
surfaces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
Check the ramp or slope for good adhesion of the
wheels. Ensure that the driving surfaces are free of
moisture, ice, grease or from any other substance
that could affect wheel adhesion.
• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform
elevated while on a sloping, uneven, or soft surface.
• Do not raise the platform or drive from an elevated
position unless the machine is on firm, level
surfaces and evenly supported.
• When travelling on slopes (Refer to section 8), the
platform MUST be fully lowered, the machine MUST
travel in second gear. It is recommended to drive up
the slope in FORWARD gear and to REVERSE down
the slope as the machine will perform better.

SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Keep the chassis of the machine at least 0.6 m from
holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris,
concealed holes, and other potential hazards on the
floor/surface.
• Do not push or pull any object with the extending
structure.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do
not tie-off machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not operate the machine when wind conditions
exceed the rating specified on the manufacturer's
nameplate.
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform or
the load. Increase of the area exposed to the wind
will decrease stability.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized
deck extensions or attachments.
• If extending structure assembly or platform is in a
position that one or more wheels are off the ground,
all persons must be removed before attempting to
stabilize the machine. Use appropriate equipment to
stabilize machine and remove personnel.
Crushing and Collision Hazards
• Approved head gear must be worn by all operating
and ground personnel.
• Check work area for clearances overhead, on sides,
and bottom of platform when lifting, slewing or
lowering platform, and driving.
• During operation, keep all body parts inside
platform railing.
• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where
vision is obstructed.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 1.8 m away
from machine during all driving and slewing
operations.
• Limit travel speed according to conditions of ground
surface, congestion, visibility, slope, location of
personnel, and other factors which may cause
collision or injury to personnel.
• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds.
When driving in high speed, slow down the machine
using the controller before stopping.
• Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close
quarters or when driving in reverse.
