SAFETY
1323RD&1623RD Operation Manual 3-3 © Mar. 2022
TIPPING HAZARDS
• Personnel, equipment and
materials on the platform must
not exceed the maximum platform
capacity.
• Only raise or extend the platform
when the machine is on solid,
level ground.
• Do not use the tilt alarm as a level
indicator. The tilt alarm on the
platform will sound only if the
machine is heavily tilted. If the tilt
alarm sounds:
– Be very careful to lower the
platform. Transfer the machine
to solid, level ground. Do not
change the level or limit
switch.
• Do not drive faster than 1.1 km/h
(0.68 mph) when the platform is
raised.
• When the platform is raised, the
machine cannot travel on uneven
terrain, unstable surfaces or in
other dangerous conditions.
• Do not operate the machine
during strong winds or gusts, and
do not increase the surface area
of the platform or load. Increasing
the area exposed to the wind will
reduce the stability of the
machine.
• When the machine is on rough
ground, with gravel or other
uneven surfaces, or near holes
and steep slopes, use caution and
reduce the speed.
• Do not use the machine to push or
pull objects outside of the
platform. The maximum side force
allowed is 400 N (90 lbf)
• Do not change any machine parts
that may affect safety and
stability.
• Do not replace key parts that
affect machine stability with parts
of different weights or
specifications.
• Do not modify or change moving
aerial platforms without the
manufacturer’s prior written
permission.
TIPPING HAZARDS
• On the platform, do not attach an
additional device for placing tools
or other materials to the guardrail.
This will increase the platform
weight, surface area and load.
• Do not place or fasten any
overhanging load on or to any
part of this machine.
• Do not place ladders or
scaffolding on the platform or any
parts of the machine.
• Do not use the machine on a
moving or active surface or on a
vehicle. Ensure all tires are in
good condition, the slotted nuts
tightened and the cotter pins
complete.
• Do not use any battery that
weighs less than the original
battery (27kg [60 lb]). The battery
not only provides power, but also
acts as counterweight, which is
quite important to maintain the
stability of the machine.
• Do not use the platform to push
other machines or objects.
• Do not let the platform touch
nearby objects.
• Do not tie off the platform with
rope or other binding materials to
nearby objects.
• Do not place loads outside the
platform.
• Do not operate the machine when
the chassis doors are open.
• When the platform is caught or
stuck or when other objects in the
vicinity impede its normal
movement, do not use the
platform controller to lower the
platform. If you intend to lower the
platform with the ground
controller, you must operate it
only after all personnel have left
the platform.
