to death or serious injury.
• KNOW all national, state or territorial/provincial
and local rules which apply to your MEWP and
jobsite.
• TURN main power disconnect switch “ ” off
when leaving the MEWP unattended. Remove the
key to prevent unauthorized use of the MEWP.

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
MEWP.
• AVOID entanglement with
ropes, cords or hoses.
• AVOID falling. Stay within the
boundaries of the guardrails.
Maintain rm footing on the
platform oor at all times while
working thereon.
• ENSURE all occupants wear
personal fall protection
equipment.
• DO NOT raise the MEWP or
operate elevated in windy or
gusty conditions that exceed
the limits specied in Section 4,
Table 4.5.
• DO NOT increase the lateral
surface area of the platform.
Increasing the area exposed to
the wind will decrease MEWP
stability. Avoid tenting.
• DO NOT elevate the MEWP if it is not on a rm,
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
MEWP.
• DO NOT elevate or drive
elevated on a slope. Elevated
driving must be done on a rm,
level surface.
• If operation in areas
with holes or drop-offs
is absolutely necessary,
elevated driving shall not be
allowed. Position the MEWP
horizontally only with the
platform fully lowered. After
ensuring that all 4 wheels or
outriggers (if equipped) have
contact with a rm, level surface,
the MEWP can be elevated. After
elevation, the drive function
must not be activated.
• DO NOT drive elevated on a
soft or uneven surface.
