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:
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 to retract the boom and lower the platform.
Do not rotate the boom while lowering. Move the
machine to a firm, level surface before raising the
platform.
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.
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.
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.
Part No. 1000231
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the boom raised or extended.
Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds

the stowed position.
