NOTICE
Maximum gradeability is applicable for machines with
platform retracted. The maximum climbing angle of
the machine: 40%/22° (4WD).
Gradeability refers to the maximum allowable tilt
angle of the machine when it is on solid ground and
the platform is only carrying one person. As the
weight of the machine’s platform increases, the
machine’s climbing capacity will be decreased.

UNSAFE OPERATION
HAZARDS
At a minimum, operators must operate and maintain the
machine as stated in this manual and the Maintenance
Manual in addition to following more stringent industry
regulations and workplace rules.
Do not use the machine in the following situations:
•Unrelated personnel/equipment is present in the
working envelope of the machine.
•Use as a crane (except the custom-made ones with
such function).
•Use on the truck, trailer, tracked vehicle, ship,
scaffold and the like without written consent by the
manufacturer or qualified professionals.
•Improper securing of the machine to another object
by just leaning, fastening or binding.
•Stunt or imprudent use of the machine.
•Overloaded or over-moment situation.
•Other prohibited conditions specified in this manual
and in the maintenance manual.
UNSAFE OPERATION HAZARDS
• Do not push/pull any object
outside the platform. The
maximum lateral force allowed
is 400N (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 the machine.
• Do not modify any component
that may affect the machine
safety and stability.
• Do not replace key parts that
affect machine stability with
parts of different weights or
specifications.
• Do not change or modify
moving aerial work platforms
without the manufacturer’s
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 put ladders or
scaffolding on the platform or
against any part of this
machine.
• Do not use the machine on any
mobile or movable surface or
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
storage battery (26kg [57.3 lb]),
and do not remove or modify
the counterweight or other
parts inside the battery box.
The battery not only provides
power, but also serves as a
counterweight and is vital to
maintaining the stability of the
machine.
• Do not place or attach any
suspended load onto any part
of the machine.
