• Under all travel conditions, the operator must limit
travel speed according to conditions of ground sur-
face, congestion, visibility, slope, location of person-
nel, and other factors which may cause collision or
injury to personnel.
• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds.
When driving in high speed, switch to low speed
before stopping. Travel grades in low speed only.

quarters or when driving in reverse.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent
obstacles from striking or interfering with operating
controls and persons in the platform.

level machines are aware of the MEWP's presence.
Disconnect power to overhead cranes.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a
raised boom or platform. Position barricades on
floor if necessary.
