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.

SAFETY RULES
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds on the chassis and in the
platform 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 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.
Donotdrivethe machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstablesurfaces orotherhazardousconditions
with the platform raised.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in the stowed position across uneven
terrain,debris,unstableor slippery surfaces and
nearholesanddrop-offs.
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not drive over 0.5 mph / 0.8 km/h with the
platformraised.
Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on
a firm, level surface.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
thatiscaught,snagged or otherwiseprevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnelmustberemovedfromtheplatform
before attempting to free the platform using the
groundcontrols.
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.

Check the Hydraulic Oil Level
Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essentialtomachineoperation.Improperhydraulic
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.
Performthisprocedure withthe
platform in the stowed position and
the engine off.
1 Visually inspect the sight gauge located on the
side of the hydraulic oil tank.
Result: The hydraulic oil level should be within
the top 2 inches / 5 cm of the sight gauge.
2 Add oil if necessary. Do not overfill.
