Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
WARNING
Failure to heed the following safety
precautions could result in tip over,
falling, crushing, or other hazards leading
to death or serious injury.
• KNOW all national, state or territorial/provincial
and local rules which apply to your aerial platform
and jobsite.
• TURN main power disconnect switch “ ” off when
leaving the aerial platform unattended. Remove
the key to prevent unauthorized use of the aerial
platform.
• WEAR all the protective clothing and personal
safety devices issued to you or called for by job
conditions.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing,
dangling neckties, scarves,
rings, wristwatches or other
jewelry while operating this
lift.
• AVOID entanglement with
ropes, cords or hoses.
• AVOID falling. Stay within the
boundaries of the guardrails.
• DO NOT raise the aerial
platform in windy or gusty
conditions.
• DO NOT increase the lateral
surface area of the platform.
Increasing the area exposed
to the wind will decrease aerial
platform stability.
• DO NOT drive or elevate the
aerial platform if it is not on a
firm level surface. Do not drive
elevated near depressions
or holes of any type, loading
docks, debris, drop-offs and
surfaces that may affect the
stability of the aerial platform.
• If operation in areas
with holes or drop-offs
is absolutely necessary,
elevated driving shall not be
allowed. Position the aerial
platform horizontally only with
the platform fully lowered. After
ensuring that all 4 wheels or
outriggers (if equipped) have
contact with level firm surface,
the aerial platform can be
elevated. After elevation, the
drive function must not be
activated.
• Elevated driving must
only be done on a firm level
surface.
• DO NOT ascend or descend
a grade when elevated.
When fully lowered, ascend
or descend grades up to
maximum rated inclines listed
in Table 2-3a and Table 2-3b.
