3.2.2 Tip-Over Hazards
Occupants and equipment shall not exceed the maximum capacity of the platform or the platform
extension.
Refer to the Specifications for maximum capacity of the platform and platform extension.
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 slope.
If 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 limit switches.
Do not drive over 0.64 ft/s (0,7 km/h) with the platform raised.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the machine in the stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfacesand near holes and drop-offs.
Do not use the platform controller to free a platform that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented from
normal motion by an adjacent structure. AII personnel must be removed from the platform before
attempting to free the platform using the ground control panel.
Do not push off or pull toward any object outside of the platform.
Do not tie the platform to adjacent structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
Do not alter or disablemachine components that in any way affect safety and
stability.
Do not modify an aerial work platform.
Mounting attachments for holding tools or other materials onto the platform,
floor plate or guard rail system can increase the weight in the platform and the surface area of the
platform or the load.
Do not replace items criticalto machine stabilitywith items of different weight or specification.
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 stop operating the machine.
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.

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.
Lower the entry bar or close the entry gate before operating.
Do not operate the machine unless the guard rails are properly installed and the entry is secured for
operation.
3.2.5 Collision Hazards
Do not operate the machine with the chassis trays open.
Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots when driving or operating.
Be aware of extended platform position when moving the machine.
Machine must be on level surface or secured before releasing brakes.
Operators must comply with employer, job site and governmental rules regarding use of personal
protective equipment.
It is recommended that operators wear an approved helmetwhen operating the machine.
Check work area for overhead obstructions or other possible hazards.

6 Inspections
6.1 Pre-Operation Inspection
Do Not Operate Unless:
•You learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation contained in this
Operator’s Manual.
1. Avoid hazardous situations.
2. Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
Know and understand the pre-operation inspection before going on to the next
section.
3. Always perform function tests prior to use.
4. Inspect the workplace.
5. Only use the machine as it was intended.
6.1.1 Fundamentals
oIt is the responsibility of the operator to perform a pre-operation inspection and routine
maintenance.
oThe pre-operation inspection is a visual inspection performed by the operator prior to each work
shift. The inspection is designed to discover if anything is apparently wrong with a machine before
the operator performs the function tests.
oThe pre-operation inspection is also used to determine if routine maintenance procedures are
required. Only routine maintenance items specified in this Operator’s Manual may be performed
by the operator.
oRefer to the list in Inspection on paqe 20-21 and check each of the items and locations for
modifications, damage or loose or missing parts.
oA damaged or modified machine must never be used. If damage or any variation from factory
delivered condition is discovered, the machine must be tagged and removed from service.
oRepairs to the machine may only be made by a qualified service technician, according to the
manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are completed, the operator must perform a pre-
operation inspection again before performing the function tests.
6.1.2 Inspection
•Be sure that the Operator's Manual is complete, legible and in the storage container located on the
platform.
•Check for hydraulic oil leaks and proper oil level. Add oil if needed. See Maintenance section.
•Check for battery fluid leaks and proper fluid level. Add distilled water if needed. See Maintenance
section.
