Tip-over hazard. In emergency situations, where
the MEWP functions are unavailable, and an
obstruction prevents the platform lower function,
carefully move the MEWP. Move the MEWP
sufficiently far away to clear the obstruction. Do
not move at a speed faster than 50 mm/sec (2 in/
sec). If you do not obey, there is a risk of death,
serious injury, and/or MEWP damage.
WARNING
When you push, winch or tow, do not move the
MEWP at a speed faster than 3.2 km/h (2.0 mph). If
you do not obey, there is a risk of death or serious
injury.
WARNING
Do not push, winch, or tow the MEWP onto a
slope. Only brake the tow vehicle slowly. Do not
pull the MEWP down a slope to a winch. Make sure
that there are no personnel in the path you plan to
travel. If you do not obey, there is a risk of death,
serious injury, and/or MEWP damage.
