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.

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 29.5 kg. Battery tray
including batteries must weigh a minimum of
152 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.

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
and adequate traction.
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.
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.

air leak. An air leak or hydraulic leak can penetrate
and/or burn skin.
Improper contact with components under any cover
will cause serious injury. Only trained maintenance
personnel should access compartments. Access
by the operator is only advised when performing a
pre-operation inspection. All compartments must
remain closed and secured during operation.
Explosion and Fire Hazards
Do not operate the machine or charge the battery
in hazardous locations or locations where
potentially flammable or explosive gases or
particles may be present.
Damaged Machine Hazards
Do not use a damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Conduct a thorough pre-operation inspection of the
machine and test all functions before each work
shift. Immediately tag and remove from service a
damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Be sure all maintenance has been performed as
specified in this manual and the appropriate Genie
service manual.
Be sure all decals are in place and legible.
Be sure the operator's, safety, and responsibilities
manuals are complete, legible, and in the storage

battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking
soda and water.
Do not expose the batteries or the charger to water
or rain during charging.
Explosion Hazards
Keep sparks, flames, and

charge the batteries.
Electrocution/Burn Hazards
Connect the battery charger to a
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.
Tip-over Hazard
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 29.5 kg. Battery tray
including batteries must weigh a minimum of
152 kg.
Lifting Hazard
Use the appropriate number of people and proper
lifting techniques when lifting batteries.
