Table 1-1 Safe distance between the equipment
and power line
△
! Caution: The effects of strong
winds or gusts on the movement of the
platform, the swinging and slackening
of the wires should be considered.
1) If the machine comes into contact with live
wires, keep away from the vehicle. No one
is allowed to touch or operate the vehicle
on the ground or platform before cutting off
the power supply.
2) Do not operate the machine when there is
lightning or storms.
3) 6) Do not use the machine as a ground
wire when welding.
1.7 Risk of Tipping
1) The personnel, equipment and materials on
the platform may not exceed the maximum
load capacity of the platform..
Rated Load
Capacity of the
Platform
250Kg/551lbs
Maximum Number
of People
2 people
Maximum
Allowable Wind
Speed
12.5m/s/28mph
Table 1-2 Maximum Load Capacity of the
Platform
2) If the platform is overloaded, the alarm will
sound and the engine will shut down.
Please reduce the platform load before

LGMG North America Inc. Operation and Safety Manual
5
continuing.
3) When the platform is lifted, drive speed
may not exceed 1.1km/h (0.68mph).
4) The tilt sensor may not be used as a level
indicator. The alarm on the turntable will
sound only when the vehicle is heavily
tilted.
5) Be very careful if the alarm sounds when
the platform is lifted. The machine's
non-level indicator will light up and the drive
function will not work in either direction.
First determine the status of the upper
boom on the slope, as shown below. Then
follow the steps below to lower the boom
before moving the machine to solid and
level ground. Do not rotate the boom when
lowering.
6) If the alarm sounds when the platform goes
up the slope
①Lower the boom
②Retract the boom
7) If the alarm sounds when the platform goes
down the slope
①Retract the boom
②Lower the boom
8) Do not lift the boom when the wind speed
may exceed 12.5 m/s/28mph. If the wind
speed exceeds 12.5 m/s/28mph after the
boom is lifted, lower the boom and do not
continue to operate the machine.
9) Do not operate the machine in strong winds
or gusts. Do not increase the surface area
of the platform or load. Increasing the area
exposed to the wind will reduce the stability
of the machine.
10) Do not use the upper control box to operate
the machine when the platform is trapped,
jammed, or other objects nearby are
blocking its normal movement. If you plan
to operate the machine with the lower
control box, all personnel must leave the
platform before you do so.
11) In the retracted state, please be very
careful and reduce the speed when the
machine is running on gravels, unstable or
smooth surfaces and near the entrance of
holes or steep slopes.
12) When the boom is lifted, the machine
cannot run on uneven terrain, unstable
surfaces, or other dangerous conditions, or
run near these areas.
13) Do not use the platform to push or pull

LGMG North America Inc. Operation and Safety Manual
6
anything outside the platform.
14) Do not use the machine as a crane.
15) Do not place, tie or hang loads on any part
of the machine.
16) Do not use the boom to push a machine or
other objects.
1.8 General safety
1) Do not operate the machine with the hood
open.
2) Do not allow the boom to approach or touch
anything.
3) Do not change or modify all sensors such
as length transducer, tilt angle sensor, the
weighing sensor and rope-breaking
detection devices.
4) Do not tie the boom or platform to adjacent
objects.
5) This machine shall not be modified without
the prior written permission of the
manufacturer. Additional devices installed
on platforms, pedals or guardrails for
placing tools or materials will increase the
weight and surface area of the platform.
6) Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the
platform or against any part of the machine.
7) Only tools and materials that are evenly
distributed and can be safely moved by
people on the platform can be transported.
8) Do not use the machine on moving surfaces
or vehicles.
9) Do not place your hands and arms near the
area where there is a risk of cutting or
crushing.
10) Do not alter or damage any parts that may
affect the safety and stability of the
machine.
11) Do not replace parts that affect machine
stability with parts of different specifications.
12) Ensure that all tires are in good condition
and the nuts are properly tightened, and do
not replace the original tires with tires of
different specifications.
13) The ambient temperature of the machine is
-20 °C ~ 40 °C.
14) Ensure this manual is kept in the manual
box in the platform.
1.9 Risk of Operating on
Slopes
Do not drive the machine on slopes exceeding
the machine's maximum uphill, downhill or side
slope ratings. The slope rating applies only to
machines that are in the retracted state.
The maximum slope rating for when the boom is
retracted is as follows
Downhill
45%（24°）
Uphill
30%（17°）
Side Slope
25%（14°）
Table 1-3 Maximum slope rating for when the
boom is retracted
△
! Caution: The slope rating is
limited by ground conditions and
traction. Please refer to driving on a
slope in the "Operation Instructions"
section of this manual.
1.10 Risk of Falling
