care should be taken. Before en-
tering and exiting the platform,
make sure the platform is fully
lowered. When entering and exit-
ing the platform, face the platform
and maintain “three-point con-
tact” with the machine with both
hands and one foot or both feet
and one hand.
• Feet must stand steadily on the
platform floor at all times. It is for-
bidden to sit, stand or climb on
the platform guardrails.
• Never use ladders, boxes, steps,
boards, or similar items on the
platform to extend the accessible
range.
• Do not allow oil, sludge or other
slippery substances to remain on
work shoes and platform floor.
• Keep the platform floor
unobstructed.
Tipping Hazard
• Before driving the machine onto
any ground, bridges, trucks and
other surfaces, check if the load-
ing capacity of these surfaces is
sufficient to support the machine
(machine weight + platform load).
Never drive the machine on surfa-
ces or edges that are not sup-
ported or under-supported.
• Operators must know about the
ground conditions in the work
area before work.
• Do not use the machine on mov-
ing surfaces or vehicles.
• The total weight of personnel, de-
vices and materials on the plat-
form shall not exceed the
maximum carrying capacity of the
platform, and all loads shall be
kept within the specified range of
the platform.
• The machine can only be driven
at low speed on slopes.
• It is forbidden to drive the ma-
chine on slopes, steps or arched
surfaces that exceed the maxi-
mum allowable climbing angle of
the machine.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
TB20J Plus Operation Manual 9©Feb. 2023
• Do not use the tilt alarm as a hori-
zontal indicator. The tilt alarm on
the platform will sound only when
the machine is heavily 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.
• When the platform is raised, do
not drive the machine on uneven
or soft surfaces, or slopes that ex-
ceed the maximum allowable
climbing angle of the machine, or
in other dangerous conditions.
• The boom can only be raised or
extended when the machine is on
solid, flat ground.
• When the machine is traveling on
uneven ground, or on other rough
ground with gravel, or near cave
openings, steep slopes, etc.,
maintain a distance of at least
0.6m (2ft) from the potentially dan-
gerous objects, and reduce the
speed.
• Do not push or pull any objects
outside the platform.
• Never push or pull other equip-
ment or objects with the platform
or 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.
• It is forbidden to use the machine
as a hoist or crane.
• Never attach the machine or its
parts to any adjacent objects.
• When one or more tires are off
the ground, first evacuate all per-
sonnel and then stabilize the ma-
chine with cranes, hoists,
forklifts, or other suitable
equipment.
• Without the written authorization
of the manufacturer, it is forbid-
den to modify, remove or install
any parts, including counter-
weights, 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 weights or
specifications. For example, the
batteries, because they not only
provide power, but also play the
role of counterweight, which is es-
sential to maintain the stability of
the machine.
• Do not operate the machine when
the wind speed exceeds 12.5m/s
(28mph). Please check the Beau-
fort wind force scale in Page 10,
Table 2-2 . Factors that affect wind
speed include: platform height,
surrounding terrain, local weath-
er. For example, the wind speed at
high places may be much faster
than those on the ground.
• Wind speeds might change at any
time. The upcoming weather con-
ditions, the time required to lower
the platform, and ways to monitor
current and potential wind condi-
tions must always be considered.
• When operating the machine out-
doors, do not carry items with a
large surface area on the platform,
do not cover the surface of the
platform or load, and do not use
other additional items to increase
the surface area of the platform or
load. Adding additional items will
increase the area of the machine
exposed to wind, and increasing
the windward area will lead to re-
duced machine stability.
