• DO NOT increase the lateral sur-
face area of the platform. In-
creasing the area exposed to the
wind will decrease machine sta-
bility.
• 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 sur-
faces that may affect the stabil-
ity of the aerial platform.
• If operation in areas with holes
or drop-offs is absolutely neces-
sary, elevated driving shall not be
allowed. Position the aerial plat-
form horizontally only with the plat-
form 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, ascending or descend-
ing, only grades up to the rated
maximum listed in Table 2-1 are
permissible.
