WARNING
Failure to comply with your required responsibilities in the use and operation of the aerial platform
could result in death or serious injury!
Operator Safety Reminders
A study conducted by St. Paul Travelers showed that most accidents are caused by the failure of the operator to
follow simple and fundamental safety rules and precautions.
You, as a careful operator, are the best insurance against an accident. Therefore, proper usage of this aerial
platform is mandatory. The following pages of this manual should be read and understood completely before
operating the aerial platform.
Common sense dictates the use of protective clothing when working on or near machinery. Use appropriate safety
devices to protect your eyes, ears, hands, feet and body.
Any modifications from the original design are strictly forbidden without written permission from SKYJACK.

Safety Precautions
Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
WARNING
Failure to heed the following safety
precautions could result in tip over,
falling, crushing, or other hazards leading
to death or serious injury.
• KNOW all national, state or territorial/provincial
and local rules which apply to your aerial platform
and job site.
• TURN mainpowerdisconnectswitch“ ”offwhen
leaving the aerial platform unattended. Remove
the key to prevent unauthorized use of the aerial
platform.
• WEAR all the protective clothing and personal
safety devices issued to you or called for by job
conditions.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing,
dangling neckties, scarves,
rings, wristwatches or other
jewelry while operating this lift.
• AVOID entanglement with ropes,
cords or hoses.
• AVOID falling. Stay within the
boundaries of the guardrails.
• DO NOT raise the aerial platform
in windy or gusty conditions.
• DO NOT increase the lateral
surface area of the platform.
Increasing the area exposed
to the wind will decrease the
arial platform stability. Avoid
tenting.
• DO NOT drive elevated near
depressions or holes of any
type,loading docks, debris,
drop-offs or surfaces that may
affect the stability of the aerial
platform.
• IF OPERATION IN AREAS
WITH HOLES OR DROP-
OFFS IS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY, elevated driving
shall not be allowed. Position
the aerial platform horizontally
only with the platform fully-
lowered. After ensuring that
all 4 wheels or outriggers (if
equipped) have contact with
a firm, level surface, the aerial
platform can be elevated. After
elevation, the drive function
must not be activated.
• DO NOT elevate or drive
elevated on a slope. Elevated
driving must be done on a
firm, level surface.
• DO NOT ascend or descend
a grade when elevated. When
fully lowered, ascending or
descending grades up to
maximum rated inclines listed
in Table 4.3.

Safety Rules Section 1 - About Your Aerial Platform

Safety Precautions (Continued)
Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
• DO NOT operate on surfaces not capable of
holding the weight of the aerial platform including
the rated load, e.g., covers, drains, and trenches.
• DO NOT drive elevated on a
soft or uneven surface.
• DO NOT operate an aerial
platform that has ladders,
scaffolding or other devices
mounted on it to increase its size
or work height. It is prohibited.
• DO NOT exert side forces on
aerial platform while elevated.
• DO NOT use the aerial platform
as a crane. It is prohibited.
• DO NOT sit, stand or climb on
the guardrails. It is prohibited.
• DO NOT climb on base and
mast. It is prohibited.
• AVOID overhead
obstructions. Be aware of
overhead obstructions or
other possible hazards around
aerial platform when lifting or
driving.
• DO NOT raise the aerial
platform while the aerial
platform is on a truck, fork lift
or other device or vehicle.
• AVOID crushing hazards. Be
aware of crushing hazards
when lifting or driving. Keep
all body parts inside the aerial
platform.
• DO NOT lower the platform
unless the area below is clear
of personnel and obstructions.
• ENSURE that there are no
personnel or obstructions in
the path of travel, including
blind spots.
• DO NOT use with improperly
inflated/damaged tires or
wheels. Refer to Section 2:
Wheel/Tire Assembly.

Section 1 - About Your Aerial Platform Safety Rules

Safety Precautions (Continued)
Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
• DO NOT alter or disable limit
switches or other safety devices.
• DO NOT use the aerial platform
without guardrails, locking pins
and the entry gate (if equipped)
in place.
• DO NOT exceed the rated
capacity of the aerial platform.
• DO NOT distribute load
unevenly.
• DO NOT operate if aerial
platform is not working properly
or if any parts are damaged or
worn.
• DO NOT leave aerial platform
unattended with key in key
switch.
• DO NOT use under influence
of alcohol or drugs.
• DO NOTaccess thehydraulic/
electrical compartment while
the platform is raised.

Safety Rules Section 1 - About Your Aerial Platform

Safety Precautions (Continued)
Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
Fall Protection
The guardrail system provides fall protection for the
occupants. If additional fall protection is required,
by an employer or the authority having jurisdiction,
Skyjack recommends the use of a fall restraint
system to keep an occupant within the confines of
the platform, and thus not expose the occupant to
any fall hazard requiring a fall arrest. When used,
lanyards should only be attached to dedicated
attachment points on the platform.
All personal fall protection equipment must comply
with applicable governmental regulations and must
be inspected and used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
All personal fall protection equipment must be
attached only to approved anchorage points within
the platform.
WARNING
Entering and exiting the aerial platform
should only be done using the three
points of contact.
• Use only equipped access openings.
• Enter and exit only when the aerial
platform is in the fully retracted position.
• Do use three points of contact to enter and exit
the platform. Enter and exit the platform from
the ground only. Face the aerial platform when
entering or exiting the platform.
• Three points of contact means that two hands and
one foot or one hand and two feet are in contact
with the aerial platform or the ground at all times
during entering and exiting.
WARNING
An operator should not use any aerial
platform that:
• does not appear to be working properly.
• has been damaged or appears to have worn
or missing parts.
• has alterations or modifications not approved
by the manufacturer.
• has safety devices which have been altered
or disabled.
• has been tagged or locked out for non-use or
repair.
Failure to avoid these hazards could
result in death or serious injury.
Job site Inspection
• Do not use in hazardous locations.
• Perform a thorough job site inspection prior to
operating the aerial platform, to identify potential
hazards in your work area.
• Be aware of moving equipment in the area. Take
appropriate actions to avoid collision.
