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
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.

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.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the boom raised or extended.
The recovery mode should only be used by trained
and authorized personnel.
Operator's Manual
Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph / 12.5
m/s. If wind speeds
exceed 28 mph / 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.
