HAZARDS
UNSAFE JOBSITE HAZARDS
• Do not operate the machine on
surfaces, edges or potholes that
cannot bear the weight of the ma-
chine. Raise or extend the plat-
form only when the machine is on
firm, flat ground.
• Do not use the tilt alarm as a hori-
zontal indicator. The tilt alarm on
the platform will sound only when
the machine is heavily tilted.
• If the tilt alarm sounds while lifting
the platform, be very careful when
lowering the platform. Do not
change the level or limit switch.
• Running speed should not exceed
0.8 km/h (0.5 mph) when the plat-
form rises.
• If the machine can be used out-
doors, never operate it during
strong winds or gusts. Do not lift

the platform when the wind speed
exceeds 12.5 m/s (28 mph). If the
wind speed exceeds 12.5 m/s (28
mph) after the platform is lifted,
fold the platform and do not con-
tinue to operate the machine.
• Never travel on uneven terrain or
unstable surfaces or in other dan-
gerous conditions when raising
the platform.
• When the machine retracts, be
careful and slow down when the
machine is moving on uneven ter-
rain, crushed stone, unstable or
smooth surfaces, steep slopes
and near cave entrances.
• Do not drive or lift the machine on
slopes, steps or vaulted surfaces
that exceed the maximum climb-
ing capacity of the machine.
Before or during machine operation, check the possible
hazards on the jobsite and beware of the restrictions
within the environment, including flammable and explo-
sive gas/dust.
