When in the platform :

platform. Hold onto the guardrails on the opposite side to
any surrounding structures. Take care to avoid trapping

extension deck feature, instead of driving machine closer to

equipment away from the machine while in use.

bumps, slopes, obstructions, debris and ground coverings that may hide holes and other
dangers.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 5 m (16 ft 5 in) away from the machine when driving.
