5.1 General

The following information is provided to assist you in
the use and application of servicing and maintenance
procedures contained in this chapter.

5.1-1 Safety and Workmanship

Your safety, and that of others, is the first
consideration when engaging in the maintenance of
equipment. Always be conscious of weight. Never
attempt to move heavy parts without the aid of a
mechanical device. Do not allow heavy objects to rest
in an unstable position. When raising a portion of the
equipment, ensure that adequate support is provided.

All service and repairs to the hydraulic system or
hydraulic components must be done in a clean
work environment. See 1 .2-4 Hydraulic System &

5.2-1 Winching and Towing Procedures
and Parking Brake System
This section provides the operator with procedures
about towing and winching and on how to manually
release the parking brake.
WARNING
Ensure platform is fully lowered before winching
or towing. Sudden motion could cause the aerial
platform to become unstable. Death or serious
injury could result.
WARNING
In emergency situations where machine functions
are not available and lowering is impeded by an
obstacle, the utmost care must be taken to move
the machine far enough to clear the obstacle. In
such cases operation must be extremely smooth
with no sudden movements and must not exceed
a speed of 2 in/sec. When pushing, towing or
winching, do not exceed 2 mph (3.2 km/h).
Do not push, tow or winch vehicle onto a slope, or
brake the towing vehicle rapidly. Do not pull the
aerial platform down an incline towards a winch.
