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 alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not drive over 0.48 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.

the machine. Slope rating applies only to machines
in the stowed position.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position
Extension deck uphill
35% (19°)
Extension deck downhill
15% (9°)
Side slope
35% (19°)
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
with one person in the platform and adequate

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.
