Tip-over Hazards
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 or contact MEC.
Driving: DO NOT drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the maximum
uphill or downhill slope rating. Slope rating applies to machines in the stowed
position.
DO NOT OVERLOAD
ILLUSTRATION No.
ART_5504
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 elevate the platform when the machine is on a surface that is soft
and/or on a slope.
ILLUSTRATION No.
ART_5504
DO NOT DRIVE ON UNEVEN OR
UNSTABLE SURFACE WHEN THE
PLATFORM IS ELEVATED OR EXTENDED
STOP ALL MOVEMENT if the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised.
Ensure that all tires are in good condition and lug nuts are properly torqued.
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.
ILLUSTRATION No.

DO NOT PUSH OR PULL OBJECTS
OUTSIDE PLATFORM
Maximum Allowable Side Force: 100 lbs (445 N).
NEVER transport tools and materials unless they are rmly secured. Secure all
tools and loose materials. DO NOT carry materials or tools on the guardrails.
DO NOT allow tools, supplies or any items to extend outside the platform.
DO NOT elevate the platform when wind speeds are in excess of 28 mph (12.5
m/s). If wind speeds exceed 28 mph (12.5 m/s) when the platform is elevated,
carefully lower the platform and discontinue operation.
ILLUSTRATION No.

DO NOT ELEVATE IN GUSTY
CONDITIONS OR WHEN WIND
EXCEEDS 28 MPH (12.5 M/S)
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.
NEVER modify or alter the work platform without written permission from MEC.
DO NOT attach overhanging loads or use the machine as a crane. DO NOT
place loads outside the platform perimeter. Do not allow anything (hoses,
cords, wires, ropes, etc.) to hang from the platform.
DO NOT USE AS CRANE
