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 severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform. Move the machine to a firm,
level surface. If the tilt alarm sounds when the
platform is raised, use extreme caution to lower the
platform.
Do not drive over 0.8 km/h with the platform raised.
Outdoor Use: Do not raise the platform when wind
speeds may exceed 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds
exceed 12.5 m/s when the platform is raised, lower
the platform and do not continue to operate the
machine.
Indoor Use: When raising the platform, follow
ratings for allowable side force and number of
occupants on the next page.
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 wil
l
decrease machine
stability.
Use extreme care and
slow speeds while driving
the machine in the 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 use the machine as a crane.
Do not push the machine or other objects with the
platform.
Do not contact adjacent structures with the
platform.
Do not tie the platform to adjacent structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.

Always wear protective
clothing and eye wear when
wor
king with batteries.
Avoid spilling or contacting
battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking
soda and water.
Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water
or rain during charging.
Explosion Hazards
Keep sparks, flames and
lighted tobacco away from

Do not use any battery charger greater than 24V to
charge the batteries.
Electrocution/Burn Hazards
Connect the battery charger to a
grounded, AC 3
-wire electrical
outlet only.
Inspect daily for damaged cords,
cables and wires. Replace
damaged
items before operating.
Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery
terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other
jewelry.

original equipment. Batteries are used as
counterweight and are critical to machine stability.
Each battery must weigh 29.5 kg. Battery tray
including batteries must weigh a minimum of
152 kg. For GS-4047 machines, each battery must
weigh 37 kg. Battery tray including batteries must
weigh a minimum of 181 kg.
Lifting Hazard
Use the appropriate number of people and proper
lifting techniques when lifting batteries.
