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 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 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.
Do not operate the machine with the chassis trays
open.

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.
