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 0.5 mph / 0.8 km/h with the
platform raised.
Do not raise the platform when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed
28 mph / 12.5 m/s when the platform is raised,
lower the platform 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 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.

Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
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 use batteries that weigh less than the
original equipment. Batteries are used as
counterweight and are critical to machine stability.
Each battery must weigh 65 lbs / 29.5 kg. Battery
tray including batteries must weigh a minimum of
335 lbs / 152 kg.
For GS-4047 machines, each battery must weigh
82 lbs / 37 kg. Battery tray including batteries must
weigh a minimum of 400 lbs / 181 kg.
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, castle nuts
are properly tightened and cotter pins are properly
installed.

Do not set the machine up where it cannot be
leveled using only the outriggers.
Do not adjust the outriggers while the platform is
raised.
Do not drive while the outriggers are lowered.
Crushing Hazard
Keep hands and limbs out of scissors.
Keep hands clear when folding rails.
Do not work under the platform or in the scissor
links without the safety arm in place.
Use common sense and planning when operating
the machine with the controller from the ground.
Maintain safe distances between the operator, the
machine and fixed objects.

Fall Hazards
The guard rail system provides fall protection. If
occupant(s) of the platform are required to wear
personal fall protection equipment (PFPE) due to
job site or employer rules, PFPE and its use shall
be in accordance with the PFPE manufacturer’s
instructions and applicable governmental
requirements. Use approved lanyard attachment
point provided.

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.
Do not enter or exit the platform unless the
machine is in the stowed position.
Attach the platform entry chain or close the entry
gate before operating.
Do not operate the machine unless the guard rails
are properly installed and the entry is secured for
operation.
Collision Hazards
Be aware of limited sight
distance and blind spots
when driving or operating.
Be aware of extended platform position when
moving the machine.
The machine must be on a level surface or
secured before releasing the brakes.
