Before positioning and operating the machine :
• Ensure that the surface is capable of supporting the machine
weight including the rated capacity.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated capacity that includes the
weight of both material and allowed number of occupants. Do not
exceed the allowable number of occupants.
• Place the loads uniformly distributed on the platform floor.
• Do not increase the working height (using extensions, ladder,
etc.).
• Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or against any
part of this machine.
• Do not use the machine in winds exceeding the permissible limit.
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform exposed to wind.
This includes adding panels, mesh, banners. Be aware when
working with materials with a large surface area. This will add to
the wind load on the machine.

incline exceeding the rated slope for the machine.
• Do not drive the machine on slopes or grades exceeding the
specified limits.
• Do not replace components critical to stability with components of

not exceed the maximum allowable side force stated in the
performance specifications.
• Do not use the machine to support any external structure.
