913218/CP0307 12 PRINTED IN U.S.A.
Safety Guards and Warning Devices
 This machine is fitted with a Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) in accordance with industry stan-
dards. It is intended to offer protection to the oper-
ator from falling objects and in case of an overturn,
but it cannot protect against every possible hazard.
Therefore it should not be considered a substitute
for good judgment and safe practices in operating
the machine. If the ROPS / FOPS structure is dam-
aged, it must be replaced to restore the protection
it provides.
 This machine is equipped with a horn and backup
alarm. The user must determine if operating condi-
tions require the machine to be equipped with
additional devices (mirrors, rotating beacon, etc.)
and be responsible for providing and maintaining
such devices.
Personnel Work Platform (PWP)
Safety System
The Mandatory Work Platform Safety Rules must be
adhered to at all times while elevating personnel.
These rules are based on ANSI/ITSDF Standard
B56.6-2005, “Safety Standard for Rough Terrain
Forklift Trucks.” (A copy of this and related standards
can be obtained from the Industrial Truck Standards
Development Foundation, 1750 K Street NW, Suite
460, Washington DC 20009; or downloaded from:
www.itsdf.com.) The rules apply to the owner, opera-
tor and the personnel in the work platform.
MANDA
TORY WORK PLATFORM
SAFETY RULES
1. The work platform must comply with
ANSI/ITSDF B56.6-2005, Sec. 8.24, “Platforms
for Elevating Personnel.” (See page 13, “Work
Platform Design Requirements.”)
2. The platform must be securely attached to the car-
riage or forks, and the carriage securely attached to
the boom.
3. The carriage and forks must be secured to prevent
them from pivoting upward.
4. If the machine is equipped with a rotating or
swinging carriage, the rotation or swing must be
deactivated. (This occurs automatically when the
“PWP System” is switched on.)
5. Personnel on the platform must be provided pro-
tection from any moving parts on the forklift that
may present a hazard.
6. If overhead hazards exist for platform personnel,
overhead protection must be provided.
7. Be sure that the lifting mechanism is operating
smoothly throughout its entire range, both empty
and loaded, and that any lift-limiting devices and
latches are functional.
8. Be sure that the frame is level, to ensure a vertical
lift.
9. Be sure the platform is horizontal before lifting.
10. Be sure that the forklift has a firm footing.
11. Be sure that any required restraining means (rail-
ings, chains, harnesses, etc.) are in place and prop-
erly used.
12. Before lifting personnel, shift the transmission into
Neutral, apply the parking brake, and activate the
"PWP System" mode switch.
13. Before lifting personnel, the area should be
marked to warn others of work by elevated per-
sonnel.
14. Be sure the path of platform travel is clear of haz-
ards, such as scaffolds, electrical wires and over-
head obstructions.
15. The operator must keep hands and feet clear of
controls that are not in use.
16. Personnel must be lifted and lowered smoothly and
cautiously, and only at their request.
17. The platform must be lowered fully before moving
the forklift. Do not drive the forklift with person-
nel on the platform.
18. Elevated personnel must always be alerted before
raising or lowering the platform.
19. A trained operator must be in position to operate
the forklift and boom controls at all times.
WARNING
The machine must not be used to lift or carry
personnel, or be fitted with any form of per-
sonnel work platform unless fitted with the
optional PWP System.
If fitted with the PWP System, the Mandatory
Work Platform Safety Rules must be followed
at all times while lifting personnel.
