Safety Precautions
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 the 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
aerial platform .
• AVOID entanglement with
ropes, cords or hoses.
• AVOID falling. Stay within the
boundaries of the guardrails.
• DO NOT raise the 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 operate aerial platform
during lightning or storms.
• 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.
• DO NOT drive or elevate the
aerial platform if it is not on a
firm level surface.
• Elevated driving must
only be done on a firm level
surface.
• 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.
• AVOID soft, uneven surfaces.
• DO NOT ascend or descend a
grade steeper than 45% (2WD
& 4WD). Boom elevated driving
must only be done on firm level
surfaces.
