TIPPING HAZARDS
• Personnel, equipment and
materials on the platform shall not
exceed the maximum load
capacity.
• Only raise or extend the boom
when the machine is on solid,
level ground.
• Select only the low speed when
driving the machine on a slope.
• Do not use the tilt alarm as a level
indicator. The tilt alarm on the
platform will sound only if the
machine is heavily tilted.
• If the tilt alarm sounds when the
machine drives up a slope, please
lower the boom per the following
procedure and move the machine
onto firm level ground. Be sure
not to rotate the boom when
lowering.
1. Lower the main boom;
2. Lower the articulated boom;
3. Retract the telescopic boom.
• If the tilt alarm sounds when the
machine drives down a slope,
please lower the boom per the
following procedure and move the
machine onto firm level ground.
Be sure not to rotate the boom
when lowering.
1. Retract the telescopic boom;
2. Lower the articulated boom.
3. Lower the main boom.
• Do not drive faster than 0.48 km/h
(0.3 mph) when the platform is
raised.
• When the platform is raised, the
machine cannot travel on uneven
terrain, unstable surfaces or in
other dangerous conditions.
• Do not operate the machine in
strong or gusty wind, and 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.
• When the machine is on rough
ground, with gravel or other
uneven surfaces, or near holes

and steep slopes, maintain a
minimum distance of 0.6m (2ft)
and reduce the speed.
• When on the platform, do not
push and pull objects outside of
it. The maximum lateral force
allowed is: 400 N (90 lbf).
• Tow the machine only from the tie-
down/lifting points on the chassis.
• Never use the boom or platform to
stabilize or support any objects
outside of the machine.
• Do not change any machine parts
that may affect safety and
stability.
• Do not replace key parts that
affect machine stability with parts
of different weights or
specifications.
• Do not modify or change moving
aerial platforms without the
manufacturer’s prior written
permission.
• On the platform, do not attach an
additional device for placing tools
or other materials to the guardrail.
This will increase the platform
weight, surface area and load.
• Do not place or fasten any
overhanging load on or to any
part of this machine.
• Do not place ladders or
scaffolding on the platform or
against any parts of the machine.
• Do not use the machine on a
moving or active surface or on a
vehicle. Ensure all tires are in
good condition, the slotted nuts
tightened and the cotter pins
complete.
• Do not use a battery that weighs
less than the original one (25kg
[55 lb]), and do not remove or
modify the counterweight or other
parts of the battery box. The
battery not only provides power,
but also serves as a
counterweight. The battery is vital
to maintaining the stability of the
machine.
