Section 1 - Scheduled Maintenance
• DO NOT increase the lateral
surface area of the platform.
Increasing the area exposed
to the wind will decrease aerial
platform stability.
• DO NOT drive or elevate the
aerial platform if it is not on a
firm level surface. Do not drive
elevated near depressions
or holes of any type, loading
docks, debris, drop-offs and
surfaces that may affect the
stability of the aerial platform.
• if operation in areas with
holes or drop-offs is abso-
lutely necessary, elevated
driving shall not be allowed.
Position the aerial platform
horizontally only with
platform fully lowered. After
ensuring that all 4 wheels or
outriggers (if equipped) have
contact with level firm surface,
the aerial platform can be el-
evated. After elevation, the
drive function must not be ac-
tivated.
• Elevated driving must only
be done on a firm level sur-
