IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
TB14J Plus Operation Manual 9©August 2023
Tipping Hazard
• Before driving onto any ground,
bridge, truck, or other surface,
check to ensure that these surfa-
ces can support the total weight
of the machine (machine weight +
platform load). Do not drive on
surfaces or edges that are not
supported or insufficiently
supported.
• Operators must familiarize them-
selves with the ground conditions
of the work area before commenc-
ing work.
• Do not operate the machine on
moving surfaces or vehicles.
• The total weight of personnel, de-
vices and materials on the plat-
form shall not exceed the
platform’s rated load capacity,
and all loads shall be kept within
the specified range of the
platform.
• On the slopes the machine may
only be driven at low speed.
• The machine must not be driven
on slopes, steps or arched surfa-
ces that exceed the maximum gra-
deability of the machine.
• Do not use the tilt alarm as a hori-
zontal indicator. The tilt alarm on
the platform will only sound when
the machine is severely tilted.
• If the tilt alarm sounds when the
machine drives up a slope, lower
the boom as per the following in-
structions and move the machine
to firm and level ground. Make
sure not to rotate the boom while
lowering it.
1. Lower the main boom;
2. Retract the telescopic boom.
• If the tilt alarm sounds when the
machine drives down a slope, low-
er the boom as per the following
instructions and move the ma-
chine to firm and level ground.
Make sure not to rotate the boom
while lowering it.
1. Retract the telescopic boom;
2. Lower the main boom.
• Do not drive the machine on un-
even or soft surfaces or slopes
that exceed the maximum grade-
ability of the machine or under
other hazardous conditions with
the platform raised.
• The boom must only be raised or
extended when the machine is on
solid, level ground.
• When the machine is traveling on
uneven ground, or on other rough
surfaces such as gravel, or near
holes, steep slopes, etc., maintain
a distance of at least 0.6 m (2 ft)
from potential hazards, and re-
duce the speed.
• Do not push or pull any objects
located outside the platform.
• Never push or pull other equip-
ment or objects using the platform
or the boom.
• Do not place or attach any sus-
pended load on or to any part of
the machine.
• Do not place any load outside the
perimeter of the platform.
• Using the machine as a hoist or
crane is strictly prohibited.
• Never attach the machine or any
part of it to any adjacent object.
• When one or more tires are off
the ground, first evacuate all per-
sonnel, then use a crane, hoist,
forklift, or other suitable equip-
ment to stabilize the equipment.
• Without written authorization of
the manufacturer, it is forbidden
to modify, remove or install any
parts, including counterweights,
which may affect the safety and
stability of the machine.
• Do not replace critical parts that
affect the stability of the machine
with parts of different weight or
specifications. For example, bat-
teries not only provide power, but
also serve as counterweight,
