Operating Instructions

Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation
inspection.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the workplace.
5 Only use the machine as it was
intended.
Fundamentals
Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel and material to an aerial work site is
unsafe.
If more than one operator is expected to use a
machine at different times in the same work shift,
each operator is expected to follow all safety rules
and instructions in the operator's manual. That
means every new operator should perform a pre-
operation inspection, function tests and a
workplace inspection before using the machine.
