1. Safety
Operate emergency controls as required.
Watch for loss of control by platform
operator.
Warn the operator of any obstructions or
hazards that may not be obvious to them.
Watch for soft terrain, sloping surfaces,
drop-offs, etc., where stability could be
jeopardized.
Watch for bystanders and never allow
anyone to be under, or to reach through the
booms while operating the aerial platform.
DANGER
Pinch points may exist between moving
components. Death or serious injury can
result from becoming trapped between
components, buildings, structures, or other
obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance around the machine before
moving the chassis, booms, or platform.
Allow sufficient room and time to stop
movement to avoid contact with structures
or other hazards.
Keep ground per son nel from un der the plat form
when the plat form is raised.
Se cure all ac ces so ries, con tain ers, tools, and
other ma te ri als in the plat form to pre vent them from
ac ci den tally fall ing or be ing kicked off the plat form.
Al ways look in the di rec tion of travel. Drive with
care and at speeds com pat i ble with the work-place
con di tions. Use cau tion when driv ing over rough
ground, on slopes, and when turn ing.
Do not engage in any form of "horseplay" or "stunt
driving" while operating the MHP15/44HD V2.
Do not per mit rid ers on the ma chine any place other
than on the plat form.
Re move all loose ob jects stored in or on the ma -
chine, par tic u larly in the plat form. Re move all ob -
jects which do not be long in or on the ma chine.
Never steady the plat form by po si tion ing it against
an other plat form.
Do not op er ate an MHP15/44HD V2 that is dam -
aged or not func tion ing prop erly. Do not use the
MHP un til the ma chine has been re paired by a
qual i fied main te nance per son.
Do not op er ate a MHP15/44HD V2 that does not
have all its de cals and plac ards at tached and leg i -
ble.
Watch for by stand ers and never al low any one to be
un der, or to reach through, the ma chine and its
equip ment while op er at ing.

Use the rec om mended trans port de vice when
load ing the ma chine.
Operation
If you en coun ter any sus pected mal func tion of the
ae rial plat form, or any haz ard or po ten tially un safe
con di tion re lat ing to ca pac ity, in tended use, or safe
op er a tion, cease op er a tion im me di ately and seek
as sis tance from man age ment.
Use three (3) points of sup port when get ting on or
off the plat form (two hands and one (1) foot or a
sim i lar set of points). Keep the plat form clean.
Main tain a firm foot ing on the plat form floor. Op er -
ate the con trols slowly and de lib er ately to avoid
jerky and er ratic op er a tion. Al ways stop the con -
trols in neu tral be fore go ing in the op po site di rec -
tion.
Do not dis mount while the plat form is in mo tion or
jump off the ma chine.
Do not start until all personnel are clearly away
from the machine.
Never cover the floor grating or otherwise obstruct
your view below. Make sure the area below the
platform is free of personnel before lowering.
Tipover and Falling Hazards
Operate the MHP only on a firm, flat, level surface
capable of withstanding all load forces imposed by
the MHP15/44HD V2 in all operating conditions.
The MHP can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury can result from a
tip-over accident. Do not drive or position
the MHP platform for elevated use near any
drop-ff, hole, slope, soft or uneven ground,
or other tip-over hazard.
Do not op er ate the MHP15/44HD V2 from a po si -
tion on trucks, trail ers, rail way cars, float ing ves -
sels, scaf folds, or sim i lar equip ment un less the
ap pli ca tion is ap proved in writ ing by Snor kel.
Care shall be taken to prevent rope, electric cords,
and hoses, etc., from becoming entangled in the
aerial platform. If the platform or elevating
assembly becomes caught, snagged, or otherwise
prevented from normal motion by an adjacent
structure or other obstacle such that control
reversal does not free the platform, remove all
personnel from the platform before attempts are
made to free the platform using ground controls.
No per son shall ac cess or egress from the plat form
in the el e vated po si tion (ex cept in an emer gency)
