type,loading docks, debris,
drop-offs or surfaces that may

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
a firm, level surface, the aerial
platform can be elevated. After
elevation, the drive function
must not be activated.
• DO NOT elevate or drive
elevated on a slope. Elevated
driving must be done on a
firm, level surface.
• DO NOT ascend or descend
a grade when elevated. When
