DO NOT DRIVE ON UNEVEN OR
UNSTABLE SURFACE WHEN THE

EXCEEDS 28 MPH (12.5 M/S)
DO NOT USE AS CRANE
94533r1 – December 2017
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity. The weight of options and accessories will
reduce the rated platform capacity and must be factored into the total platform load. Refer to
the decals on the options or contact MEC.
Driving: DO NOT drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the maximum uphill or downhill
slope rating. Slope rating applies to machines in the stowed position.
Driving in stowed position: Use extreme care and reduce speed when driving across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces, and near holes or drop-offs.
Driving with the platform elevated: DO NOT drive on or near uneven terrain, unstable
surfaces, curbs, drop-offs or other hazardous conditions.
DO NOT elevate the platform when the machine is on a surface that is soft and / or on a
slope.
STOP ALL MOVEMENT if the alarm sounds and the red Tilt Indicator Light illuminates
when the platform is raised – see Tilt Indicator Light on page 27 for instructions.
Ensure that all tires are in good condition and lug nuts are properly torqued.
DO NOT push off or pull toward any object outside the platform.
Maximum Allowable Side Force: 100 lbs (445 N).
NEVER transport tools and materials unless they are firmly secured. Secure all tools and loose
materials. DO NOT carry materials or tools on the guardrails. DO NOT allow tools, supplies
or any items to extend outside the platform.
DO NOT elevate the platform when wind speeds are in excess of 28 m.p.h. (12.5 m/s). If wind
speeds exceed 28 m.p.h. (12.5 m/s) when the platform is elevated, carefully lower the
platform and discontinue operation.
DO NOT increase the surface area of the platform (i.e. cover the rails with tarp or
plywood). Increased surface area exposed to the wind will decrease machine stability.
NEVER modify or alter the work platform without written permission from MEC.
DO NOT attach overhanging loads or use the machine as a crane. Do not allow anything
(hoses, cords, wires, ropes, etc.) to hang from the platform.
NEVER alter or disable any machine components.
DO NOT replace any part of the machine with anything except MEC-supplied or
MEC-approved parts.
NEVER use ladders or scaffolds in the platform or allow them to touch any part of the machine.
NEVER use the machine on a moving or mobile surface or vehicle.
