Tip-over Hazards
Art_2828
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity. The weight of options and accessories will
reduce the rated platform capacity and must be factored into the total platform load. Refer to
the decals on the options.
DO NOT elevate the platform when the machine is on a surface that is soft and/or on a slope.
DO NOT elevate the platform unless the machine is on a rm, level surface.
DO NOT depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator. STOP if the tilt alarm sounds and the
red light illuminates when the platform is raised. Use extreme caution to lower the platform.
Move the machine to a rm, level surface.
Art_2834
Driving: DO NOT drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the maximum uphill, downhill or
side slope rating. Slope rating applies to machines in the stowed position.
Driving in stowed position: use extreme care and reduce speed when driving across
uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces, and near holes or drop-o󰀨s.
Driving with the platform elevated: DO NOT drive on or near uneven terrain, unstable
surfaces, curbs, drop-o󰀨s or other hazardous conditions. DO NOT drive the machine faster
than .5 mph/.8 km/h while elevated
DO NOT push o󰀨 or pull toward any object outside the platform. DO NOT push the machine
or other objects with the platform. DO NOT contact adjacent structures with the platform.
DO NOT tie the platform to adjacent structures.
Art_2833
Maximum Allowable Side Force
50 lbs (222 N) per person
DO NOT use the platform controls to free a platform that is caught, snagged or otherwise
prevented from normal motion by an adjacent structure.
DO NOT elevate the platform when wind speeds are in excess of 28 m.p.h. (12.5 m/s). If
wind speeds exceed 28 m.p.h. (12.5 m/s) when the platform is elevated, carefully lower the
platform and discontinue operation.
DO NOT increase the surface area of the platform (i.e. cover the rails with tarp or plywood).
Increased surface area exposed to the wind will decrease machine stability.
Art_2831
DO NOT attach overhanging loads or use the machine as a crane. DO NOT place loads
outside the platform perimeter.
NEVER transport tools and materials unless they are rmly secured. Secure all tools and
loose materials.
NEVER alter or disable any machine components.
NEVER replace any part of the machine with items of di󰀨erent weight or specication.
NEVER modify or alter the work platform without written permission from MEC.
NEVER place ladders or sca󰀨olds in the platform or against any part of the machine.
NEVER use the machine on a moving or mobile surface or vehicle.
Art_2832
Ensure that all tires are in good condition and lug nuts are properly torqued.
DO NOT operate the machine with the chassis trays open.
DO NOT alter or disable the limit switches or machine components that in any way a󰀨ect
safety and stability.
DO NOT replace items critical to machine stability with items of di󰀨erent weight or
specication. DO NOT modify or alter this machine without prior written permission from the
manufacturer.
DO NOT use batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Each battery must weigh
82 lbs/37 kg. The batteries must weigh a minimum of 328 Ibs/148 kg.
