SAFETY RULES
Do not raise or extend the boom unless the
machine is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above
horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface before raising the platform. If the tilt alarm
sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme
caution to retract the boom and lower the platform.
Do not rotate the boom while lowering. Move the
machine to a firm, level surface before raising the
platform.
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 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 boom raised or extended.
Do not push off or pull toward any object outside
of the platform.
Maximum allowable
side force - ANSI & CSA

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 modify or alter an aerial work platform.
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.

SAFETY RULES
Fall Hazards
Occupants must wear a
safety belt or harness in
accordancewith
governmentalregulations.
Attach lanyard to anchor
provided in platform.
Do not sit, stand or climb on the platform guard
rails. Maintain a firm footing on the platform floor at
all times.
Do not climb down from the platform when raised.
Keep the platform floor clear of debris.
Lower the platform entry mid-rail or close the entry
gatebeforeoperating.
Bodily Injury Hazard
Do not operate the machine with a hydraulic oil or
air leak. An air leak or hydraulic leak can penetrate
and/or burn skin.

area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
Do not place or attach overhanging loads to any
part of this machine.
Do not place ladders or scaffolds in platform or
against any part of this machine.
Do not use the machine on a moving or mobile
surface or vehicle.
Be sure all tires are in good condition, air-filled tires
are properly inflated and lug nuts are properly
tightened.

Pre-operation Inspection
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation
inspection.
Know and understand the above principles
before going on to the next section.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.
4 Inspect the work place.
5 Only use the machine as it was intended.
Fundamentals
It is the responsibility of the operator to perform a
Pre-operationInspectionandroutinemaintenance.
The Pre-operation Inspection is a visual inspection
performed by the operator prior to each work shift.
The inspection is designed to discover if anything
is apparently wrong with a machine before the
operator performs the function tests.
The Pre-operation inspection also serves to
determine if routine maintenance procedures are
required. Only routine maintenance items specified
in this manual may be performed by the operator.
Refer to the list on the next page and check each
of the items and locations for modifications,
damage or loose or missing parts.
A damaged or modified machine must never be
used. If damage or any variation from factory
delivered condition is discovered, the machine
must be tagged and removed from service.
Repairs to the machine may only be made by a
qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are
completed, the operator must perform a
pre-operation inspection again before going on to
the function tests.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
performed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer's specifications and
the requirements listed in the responsibilities
manual.

Maintenance
Observe and Obey:
Only routine maintenance items specified in this
manual shall be performed by the operator.
Scheduled maintenance inspections shall be
completed by qualified service technicians,
according to the manufacturer's specifications
and the requirements specified in the
responsibilitiesmanual.
Maintenance Symbols Legend
The following symbols have been
used in this manual to help
communicate the intent of the
instructions. When one or more of
the symbols appear at the
beginning of a maintenance
procedure, it conveys the meaning
below.
Indicates that tools will be required to
performthisprocedure.
Indicates that new parts will be
required to perform this procedure.
Indicates that a cold engine is required
beforeperformingthisprocedure.
Check the Engine Oil Level
Maintaining the proper engine oil level is essential
to good engine performance and service life.
Operating the machine with an improper oil level
can damage engine components.
Check the oil level with the
engine off.
1 Check the oil dipstick.
Gasoline/LPG Engine: located above the
bellhousing on the bulkhead side of the engine.
Diesel Engine: located on the engine block near
the engine oil filter.
Result: The oil level should be at the full mark
on the dipstick. Add oil as needed.

Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil
level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic
system problems.
1 Be sure that the boom is in the stowed position,
then visually inspect the sight gauge located on
the side of the hydraulic oil tank. Add oil as
needed.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within
the top 2 inches (5 cm) of the sight gauge.

Check the Engine Coolant
Level - Liquid Cooled Models
Maintaining the engine coolant at the proper level is
essential to engine service life. Improper coolant
level will affect the engine's cooling capability and
damage engine components. Daily checks will
allow the inspector to identify changes in coolant
level that might indicate cooling system problems.
Burn hazard. Beware of hot engine
parts and coolant. Contact with hot
engine parts and/or coolant may
cause severe burns.
1 Check the fluid level in the coolant recovery
tank. Add fluid as needed.
Result: The fluid level should be at the
FULL mark.
Do not remove the radiator cap.
Check the Batteries
Proper battery condition is essential to good engine
performance and operational safety. Improper fluid
levels or damaged cables and connections can
result in engine component damage and hazardous
conditions.
Electrocution hazard. Contact with
hot or live circuits may result in
death or serious injury. Remove all
rings, watches and other jewelry.
Bodily injury hazard. Batteries
contain acid. Avoid spilling or
contacting battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking soda
andwater.
1 Put on protective clothing and eye wear.
2 Be sure that the battery cable connections are
free of corrosion.
3 Be sure that the battery hold downs and cable
connections are tight.
4 Remove the battery vent caps.
5 Check the battery acid level. If needed,
replenish with distilled water to the bottom of the
battery fill tube. Do not overfill.
6 Install the vent caps.
Adding terminal protectors and a
corrosion preventative sealant will
help eliminate corrosion on the
battery terminals and cables.
