AB18EJ&18HJ Maintenance Manual 1-7 © Oct 2020
UNSAFE OPERATION
HAZARDS
At a minimum, operators must operate and maintain the
machine as stated in this manual and in the
Maintenance Manual in addition to following more
stringent industry regulations and workplace rules.
Never engage in unsafe machine operation.
UNSAFE OPERATION HAZARDS
• Do not push any object outside
the platform. The maximum
lateral force allowed is 400N (90
lbf).
• Tow the machine only from the
tiedown/lifting points on the
chassis.
• Never use the boom or platform
to stablize or support any
objects outside of the machine.
• Do not modify any component
that may affect the machine
safety and stability.
• Do not replace key parts that
affect machine stability with the
ones of different weights or
specifications.
• Do not change or modify
moving aerial platforms without
the manufacturer’s written
permission.
• 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 put ladders or
scaffolding on the platform or
any part of this machine.
• Do not use the machine on any
mobile or movable surface or
vehicle. Ensure all tires are in
good condition, the slotted nuts
tightened and the cotter pins
complete.
• Do not use a battery that
weighs less than the original
lead acid battery (55kg[121 lb]),
and do not remove or modify
the counterweight or other
parts inside the battery box.
The battery not only provides
power, it also serves as a
counterweight. The battery is
vital to maintaining the stability
of the machine.
• Do not place or attach any
suspended load onto any part
of the machine.
• Do not use the machine as a
crane.
