TIPPING HAZARDS
• Personnel, equipment and
materials on the platform must
not exceed the maximum load
capacity.
• Only raise or extend the platform
when the machine is on solid,
level ground.
• 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:
–Be very careful to lower the
platform. Transfer the machine
to solid, level ground. Do not
change the level or limit
switch.
• Do not drive faster than 0.8 km/h
(0.5 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
during strong winds or gusts, 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, use caution and
reduce the speed.
• When on the platform do not push
and pull objects outside of it. The
maximum lateral force allowed is:
GTJZ1012E: 400N(90 lbf) indoor/
200 N(45 lbf)
outdoor
GTJZ1212E: 400N(90 lbf) indoor/
200 N(45 lbf)
outdoor
• Do not change any machine parts
that may affect safety and
stability.
• Do not replace key parts that
affect machine stability with

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 on, or fasten to, any
overhanging load to any part of
this machine.
• Do not place ladders or
scaffolding on the platform or 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 lead acid
battery(30kg [66lb]) or lithium
battery (60kg [132lb]). Do not use
a battery that weighs less than the
original lead acid battery(40kg
[88lb]) or lithium battery (60kg
[132lb]). The battery not only
provides power, it also serves as
a counterweight. The battery is
vital to maintaining the stability of
the machine.
• Do not use a platform to propel
machines or other objects.
• Do not let the platform touch
nearby objects.
• Do not tie off the platform with
rope or other binding materials to
nearby objects.
• Do not put a load outside the
platform.
• Do not operate the machine when
the chassis doors are open.
• When the platform is caught or
stuck or when other objects in the
vicinity impede its normal
movement, do not use the
platform controller to lower the
platform. If you intend to lower the
