USER MANUAL EL SERIES 30.03.2020

Tip-over Hazards
Occupants, equipment and materials must not
exceed the maximum platform capacity.
Weight of optional parts and accessories such
as pipe skids and panel skids reduce the
nominal platform capacity and therefore should
be taken into account when calculating the total
platform load. Refer to the labels delivered with
the optional parts and accessories.
If you are using accessories, read, understand,
and observe the accompanying labels and
instructions.
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is
on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt
alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds on
the chassis only when the
machine is on a slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform
carefully. Move the
machine to a firm, level
surface.
When raising the platform,
observe the permissible
manual force values and
number of persons
specified below.
Do not operate the
machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the
surface area of the
platform or the load.
Increasing the area exposed to the wind will
decrease machine stability.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while
driving the machine in a stowed position across
uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery
surfaces and near holes and drop-offs.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven
terrain, unstable surfaces or other hazardous
conditions with the platform raised.
Do not push off or pull toward any object outside
of the platform.

Do not alter or disable machine components
that in any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not overload the platform.
Do not modify or alter an
aerial work platform without
prior written permission
from the manufacturer.
Mounting attachments for
holding tools or other materials onto the
platform, toeboards or guard rail system can
increase the weight in the platform and the
surface area of the platform or the load.
Do not place or attach fixed or overhanging
loads to any part of this
machine.
Do not place ladders or
scaffolds in the platform or
against any part of this
machine.
