2.1.3 - Overturning / Tip-over Hazards
Before positioning and operating the machine :
• Ensure that the surface is capable of supporting the machine weight
including the rated capacity.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated capacity that includes the weight of
both material and allowed number of occupants. Do not exceed the
allowable number of occupants.
• Place the loads uniformly distributed on the platform floor.
• Do not increase the working height (using extensions, ladder, etc.).
• Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or against any part of this
machine.
• Do not use the machine in winds exceeding the permissible limit.
• Do not increase the surface area of the platform exposed to wind. This
includes adding panels, mesh, banners. Be aware when working with
materials with a large surface area. This will add to the wind load on the
machine.
• Do not raise the platform or drive with platform elevated on an incline
exceeding the rated slope for the machine.
• Do not drive the machine on slopes or grades exceeding the specified
limits.
• Do not replace components critical to stability with components of
different weight or specification.
• Do not use the machine with material or objects hanging from the
guardrail or the boom.
• Do not pull or push towards any object outside of the platform. Do not
exceed the maximum allowable side force stated in the performance
specifications.
• Do not use the machine to support any external structure.
• Do not use the machine to tow other machines or to drag materials.

Using a machine on a slope :
• If the tilt alarm sounds with the platform uphill :
• Lower the upper boom.
• Lower the top arm.
• Retract the upper boom.
• If the tilt alarm sounds with the platform facing downhill : .
• Retract the upper boom.
• Lower the top arm.
• Lower the upper boom.
• While driving, always place the boom above the rear axle, in the direction of movement.
• While driving on a slope:
• Always orientate the machine in the direction of the slope.
• Always place the boom and the arms in fully retracted and in stowed position.
• Do not travel down slopes in high speed.
• Do not drive fast in narrow or cluttered areas. Keep speed under control while making
turns or sharp bends.
WIND : The aerial work platform can operate up to a maximum wind speed as indicated in the
specifications. To identify the local wind speed, use the Beaufort scale below, use a wind
gauge or an anemometer.
Do not exceed the slope limit for each operation. Section B 4.1Technical specifications.
Gradeability :
• Driving in stowed position UP or DOWN a slope.
Rated slope :

2.1.4 - Electrocution Hazards
The machine is not electrically insulated and does not provide protection from contact or
proximity to electrically charged conductors.
Always position the lift at a safe distance from electrically charged conductors to ensure that
no part of the machine is within an unsafe area.
Respect the local rules and the minimum safety distance from power lines.
Minimum safe approach distances
N.B.-:-USE THIS TABLE EXCEPT WHERE LOCAL REGULATIONS INDICATE OTHERWISE.

• Do not operate the machine when close to live power lines, consider
the movement of the machine and the sway of the electric power lines
particularly in windy conditions.
• Do not operate the machine during lightning, thunderstorms, snow/ice
or any weather condition that could compromise operator safety.
• Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.
• Do not weld on the machine without first disconnecting the battery
terminals.
• Always disconnect ground cable first.
• The machine must not be used while charging the batteries.
• When using the platform AC power line, ensure it is protected with a
circuit breaker.
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.

2.1.6 - Crushing / Collision Hazards
• Always cordon off the area around the base of the machine to keep personnel and other
equipment away from the machine while in use.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a raised boom/platform.
• Do not drive in reverse direction (opposite the field of vision).
• Be aware of the boom position and tail swing when rotating the turret (turntable).
• Always ensure that the chassis is never driven any closer than 1 m (3 ft 3 in) to holes,
bumps, slopes, obstructions, debris and ground coverings that may hide holes and other
dangers.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 5 m (16 ft 5 in) away from the machine when driving
and slewing.
• Be aware of driving direction.
• When turret is slewed/rotated 180°, the platform is now facing the rear of the machine.
• Check the driving direction with the help of the red or green arrow on the chassis relative
to the red and green arrows on the platform control box.
• Also note that when changing the driving direction (Forward <> Reverse) the joysticks or
switches must return to the neutral position before reversing the drive direction and for
movement to occur.
• When driving, position the platform so as to provide the best possible visibility and to avoid
any blind spots.
• Hold on securely to the guardrails.
• Occupants must wear a harness in accordance with governmental regulations.
• Lanyard must be attached to the designated anchorage point.
• Avoid contact with fixed or mobile obstacles (other machines).
• Other machines (crane, aerial work platform, etc.) operating in the work area increase the
risk of crushing or collision. Restrict the operation of machines moving within the aerial work
platform work area.
• Take into consideration the stopping distance, reduced visibility and blind spots of the
machine.
• Limit travel speed to suit the ground surface condition, slope (incline), and people in the
vicinity.
When in the platform :
• Check the work area for overhead clearance, for any obstacles besides
and below the platform when raising/lowering the platform and or before
driving.
• During movement, keep all the parts of the body inside the platform.
• To position machine close to a building/structure, it is recommended
using the upper boom and or arms movement control functions to
position, rather than driving machine closer to structure.

2.1.7 - Uncontrolled movement Hazards
Do not use a damaged or malfunctioning machine.
Be aware of uncontrolled movement and always respect the following :
• Maintain clearance from high voltage lines.
• Maintain clearance from generators, radar, electromagnetic fields.
• Never expose the batteries or electrical components to water (high pressure washer, rain).
• Never tow the machine over extended distances.
• In case of a machine breakdown, it is possible to tow short distance to load it onto a trailer.
• Never leave the hydraulic cylinders fully extended before switching off the machine, or when
stationary for an extended period of time.
• Retract the boom and lower the arms to the stowed position.
• Rotate the turntable so that the boom is between the non-steering wheels.
• Select a safe parking location, on a firm level surface, clear of obstruction and traffic.
• Ensure all compartments are closed and secured.
• Chock the wheels.
