Failure to respect the safety and operating instructions, or the instructions for repairing or servicing your lifting platform may lead to serious, even fatal accident.
- Only the operations and manœuvres described in these operator’s manual must be performed. The manufacturer cannot
predict all possible risky situations. Consequently, the safety instructions given in the operator’s manual and on the
platform itself are not exhaustive.
- At any time, as an operator, you must envisage, within reason, the possible risk to yourself, to others or to the platform
itself when you use it.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

- Familiarise yourself with the platform on the terrain it has to travel over.
- The machine must also be used in accordance with good engineering practice.
- Do not use the platform if the wind speed is over 45 km/h. The platform’s arms must not be subjected to a lateral force
