Placing A Load - Genie GTH-1048 Operator's Manual

WARNING
Do not sway the machine with the boom angle indicator arrow
(B) at more than 0 degrees. By doing so you could cause a roll
over hazard which may result in injury or death.
DANGER
Always apply the parking brake (C) before lifting and/or
placing a load. Failure to do so could allow the machine to roll
over which may result in injury or death.
CAUTION
Always bring the machine to a complete stop before applying
the parking brake (C). Failure to do so will damage the parking
brake disc packs, which may void the axle warranty.
Before placing a load, the frame should be leveled. This can be
done by the use of the switch labeled sway control (D) located
on the lower right hand side of the dash panel in front of the
operator.
Adjust the sway control (D) until the indicator ball on the level
gauge (E) is on the 0 degree mark.
