not provide protection from contact with or
proximity to electrical current.
Obey all local and
governmental regulations
regarding required
clearance from electrical
power lines. At a minimum,
the required clearance
contained in the chart
below must be followed.
Line Voltage Required Clearance
0 to 50KV 10 ft 3.05 m

Allow for platform movement, electrical line sway
or sag, and beware of strong or gusty winds.
Keep away from the
machine if it contacts
energized power lines.
Personnel on the ground
or in the platform must
not touch or operate the
machine until energized
power lines are shut off.
Do not operate the machine during lightning or
storms.
Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
Tip-over Hazards
Occupants, equipment and materials shall not
exceed the maximum platform capacity for the
restricted or unrestricted range of motion.
Maximum platform capacity
Unrestricted range of motion
500 lbs 227 kg
Maximum occupants 2
Maximum platform capacity
Restricted range of motion
1000 lbs 454 kg
Maximum occupants 3
If the restricted range of motion is selected for the
maximum platform capacity, do not move the
platform into the unrestricted range of motion zone.
Do not exceed the selected maximum platform
capacity.
Do not attach a platform rated at 500 lbs / 227 kg
(unrestricted range of motion) or 1000 lbs / 454 kg
(restricted range of motion) to machines with any
other rated load. See the serial label for the
maximum rated load.
The weight of options and accessories, such as
pipe cradles, panel cradles and welders, will
reduce the rated platform capacity and must be
subtracted from the platform capacity. See the
decals with the options and accessories.
If using accessories, read, understand and obey
the decals, instructions and manuals with the
accessory.

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 when the platform is raised,
use extreme caution. Identify the condition of the
boom on the slope as shown below. Follow the
steps to lower the boom before moving to a firm,
level surface. Do not rotate the boom while
lowering.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform uphill:
1Lower the boom.
2Retract the boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform downhill:
1Retract the boom.
2Lower the boom.
Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s.
If wind speeds exceed
28 mph / 12.5 m/s when
the boom is raised, lower
the boom and do not
continue to operate the
machine.
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 use the machine as a crane.
Do not push the machine or other objects with the
boom.
Do not contact adjacent structures with the boom.
Do not tie the boom or platform to adjacent
structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.

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 replace factory-installed tires with tires of
different specification or ply rating.
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.
Do not transport tools and materials unless they
are evenly distributed and can be safely handled
by person(s) in the platform.
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.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
ground controls.
Operation on Slopes Hazards
Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds
the maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating of
the machine. Slope rating applies only to machines
in the stowed position.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position, 2WD
