2 - Pre-operation instructions
2.1 - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• On a soft, unstable or cluttered ground.
• With wind blowing faster than the permissible limit. Check the maximum value in the technical
characteristics ( Section G 1- Main characteristics). Consult the Beaufort scale
( Section A 3.2.3- Risk of jerks and overturning).
• Close to power lines. Respect the safety distance ( Section A 3.2.1- Risk of electrocution).
• At temperatures higher than 45 °C (113 °F) and lower than -15 °C (5 °F). Consult HAULOTTE® if it is
necessary to work outside this range.
• In explosive atmosphere.
• During storms (risk of lightning).
• In the presence of strong electromagnetic field (radar ...).
2.2 - SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
• If the load in the platform exceeds the maximum load authorized. Check the maximum value in the
technical characteristics ( Section G 1- Main characteristics).
• If the ground has more slope than the permissible limit.. Check the maximum value in the technical
characteristics ( Section G 1- Main characteristics).
• At night if not equipped with the optional light.
• If the number of persons is more than the number permissible. Check the maximum value in the
technical characteristics ( Section G 1- Main characteristics)
• If the side force in the platform is more than the permissible force. Check the maximum value in the
technical characteristics ( Section G 1- Main characteristics)

3 - Operation instructions
3.1 - PROHIBITIONS
The operation of the machine is recommended on flat, developed ground (tarmac, concrete, etc.).
• Never use a defective machine (hydraulic leakage, worn out tyres, malfunction).
• Never operate the machine controls with sudden actions.
• Never place the machine against a structure to maintain this structure.
• Never use the machine to tow or drag.
• Never expose the batteries or electrical components to water (pressure cleaner, rain).
• Never neutralize the securities.
• Do not hit a fixed or mobile obstacle. The contact can cause premature deterioration of the structure and
lead to the rupture of certain safety elements.
• Do not climb on the hoods.
• Never use the machine alone. It must be operated by pairs of operators.
• Never use the machine with a cluttered platform.
• Never increase the surface in the platform by using floor extensions or accessories not authorized
by HAULOTTE®.
• Never leave the hydraulic cylinders entirely extended or retracted before switching the machine off, or
during an extended stop period.
• Never use the machine with material or objects suspended on the guard-rail.
• Never use the machine with the elements that can increase the load of the wind (board).
• Never increase the height of work by using attachments (ladder).
• Never use the guardrail as the means of access to climb up or down the platform. Steps have been
provided to this effect on the platform.
• Never climb on the guardrail.
• Never use the machine without installing the sliding midrail or without closing the safety gate.
• Never use the machine as crane, goods lift or elevator.
• Never use the machine for any other purpose than to transport people, their tools and material to the
desired place.
• Never drive fast in narrow or badly cleared areas. Keep speed under control on bends.

• The LPG bottle must be firmly attached in the correct position.
• Check the bottle and its connections regularly (every 250h) to detect any leaks. Never use matches.
Always use a specially-designed leak detector product.
• The outside of the LPG bottle must always be kept free of rust by regularly applying specific paint
protection.
3.2 - POTENTIAL RISKS
3.2.1 - Risk of command system disturbance
Risk of disrupted movement close to high voltage lines or magnetic fields.
3.2.2 - Risk of falling

3.2.3 - Risk of electrocution
This machine is not isolated and does not offer any protection.
The risks of electrocution are high in the following situations :
• Close to live power lines, consider the movement of the machine and the swaying of the electric power
lines.
• In case of hitting a high voltage line, wait for the power cut of the high voltage line before using the
machine (clearance, distancing of the machine).
• During storms.
Never use the machine as a solder mass.
Maintain a minimum safe distance with regard to lines and electrical devices.
Respect the local rules and the minimum safety distance.

3.2.4 - Risk of jerks and overturning
On board the machine, respect the following instructions :
• Before engaging the machine on any internal or external surface (premises, bridge,
truck, etc.), check that the ground is capable of supporting the load. Check the
maximum value in the technical characteristics ( Section G 1- Main characteristics).
• During movement reversal from the upper or lower console, the joysticks or switches must be stopped
in the neutral position.
• According to the overall dimensions, place the loads in the centre of the platform or distribute them in
a uniform manner.
• On platforms, footpaths, etc. remain vigilant of the reversal of driving direction. Check the driving
direction with the help of the red or green arrow on the chassis and on the upper console.
• Make sure that the chassis is never closer than 1 m (3 ft 3 in) m to holes, bumps, steep slopes,
obstructions, debris and ground covering which may hide holes and other dangers.
N.B.-:-THE BEAUFORT SCALE MEASURES THE WIND FORCE WITH AGRADUATION SYSTEM. A WIND SPEED
RANGE AT 10 M(32 FT 9 IN) ABOVE FLAT, CLEAR LAND IS ASSOCIATED WITH EACH DEGREE.
• Do not drive the machine on slopes or tilts beyond limits. Check the maximum value in the technical
characteristics( Section G 1- Main characteristics).
• Do not descend slopes at high speed.
• Do not raise the platform or drive with the platform raised on slopes or when the machine is tilted.
• Do not drive in reverse (direction opposite to the field of vision).
• Never use the machine in winds exceeding the authorized limit.
• Do not increase the surface area exposed to the wind. The greater the surface area exposed, the more
unstable the machine becomes.

3.2.5 - Risk of burns and explosion
N.B.-:-ACID IS NEUTRALISED WITH SODIUM BICARBONATE AND WATER.
3.2.6 - Risk of crushing and collision
On board the machine, respect the following instructions :
• During operation, keep all the parts of the body inside the platform.
• Adapt the movement speed according to the ground conditions (traffic, slope, etc.).
• Respect stopping distances :
• 3 m (9 ft 10 in) at fast speed.
• 1 m (3 ft 3 in) at slow speed.
• To position the machine close to obstacles, use the lifting controls (arm, boom, etc.) instead of the
drive controls.
• Make sure there are no obstacles (structure) in the work area.
• When moving, position the platform so as to have the best possible visibility.
• Always have someone to guide manoeuvres in case of low visibility.
• All personnel on the machine or on the ground must wear a safety helmet.
• When raising or lowering the machine, and during drive, the operator must check that the area above,
below and on each side of the machine, is clear.
• When moving the machine, ensure that there are no people or obstacles in the way..
For any intervention on the power sources, wear glasses and protective clothes (acid
spray).
• Do not work in an explosive or inflammable ambience (spark, flame, etc.).
• Do not touch the hot parts of the motorization system (engine, filters, etc.).
• Do not use a tool to make contact between the battery terminals.
• Do not manipulate the battery close to a spark, flame, glowing tobacco (emission of gas).
Do not operate other machines (crane, platform, etc.) in the work area.
Take into account the distance, reduced visibility and dead angles during the driving and/or use of the
machine.
