Do not use air-filled tires. These machines are
equipped with foam-filled tires. Wheel weight is
critical to 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.
Be sure all tires are in good condition and lug nuts
are properly tightened.
