The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from contact
with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by the Minimum Safe
Approach Distance sections in Chapter 3–Safety.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Allow for electrical wire sag and aerial platform sway.
If the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial platform contacts a high-voltage electrical conductor,
the entire machine can become electrically charged.
If that happens, remain on the machine and do not contact any other structure or object. This includes
the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any other objects that are not part of the aerial platform.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical shock hazard
resulting in death or serious injury.
If an aerial platform is in contact with an energized conductor the platform operator must warn ground
personnel in the vicinity to stay away. Their bodies can conduct electricity creating an electrical shock
hazard resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not approach or leave the aerial platform until the electricity has been turned off.
Do not attempt to operate the lower controls when the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial plat-
form is in contact with a high-voltage electrical conductor or if there is an immediate danger of such
contact.
Personnel on or near an aerial platform must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing
that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.

SAFETY NOTICE
PLEASE READ BEFORE USE
If this machine has been transported in a container the wheels will have been
flipped to get it into the container. This will make the machine narrower than the
design intent. The machine may be driven with the wheels flipped to load &
unload but only ever when in the stowed position. The machine must not be
used for a job of work until the wheels have been flipped back round to their
correct position.
To flip the wheel back to the correct orientation (refer to
Figure 1), use the following instructions.
1. Safely jack the machine.
2. Loosen the 9 retaining lug nuts.
3. Safely remove the wheel from the hub.
4. Flip the wheel 180° so that decal 106171-003 is facing
on the inside of the wheel. Refer to Figure 2.
5. Safely fit the wheel back onto the hub.
6. Hand tighten the 9 retaining lug nuts and lower the
machine from the jack.
7. Dry torque the lug nuts to 150 ft lbs in a non-circular
pattern.

Chapter 3 – Safety
Knowledge of the information in this manual, and proper
training, provide a basis for safely operating the aerial plat-
form. Know the location of all controls and how they oper-
ate to act quickly and responsibly in an emergency.
Safety devices reduce the likelihood of an accident.
• Never disable, modify, or ignore any safety device.
• Safety alerts in this manual indicate situations where
accidents may occur.
If any malfunction, hazard or potentially unsafe condition
relating to capacity, intended use, or safe operation is sus-
pected, stop aerial platform operation and seek assistance.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for following
all manufacturer’s instructions and warnings, regulations
and safety rules of their employer and/or any state or
federal law.
Electrocution Hazards
The aerial platform is made of metal components and is
not insulated. Regard all conductors as energized. Do
not operate outside during a thunderstorm.
Minimum Safe Approach Distance – ANSI
Minimum safe approach distances to energized power
lines and their associated parts must be observed while
operating the aerial platform.
Danger
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death
or serious injury will result from contact with, or in-
adequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach
distance as defined by ANSI.
ANSI publications define minimum distances that must
be observed when working near bus bars and energized
power lines. Table 1 and Figure 3 are reprinted courtesy
of Scaffold Industry Association, ANSI/SIA A92.5.

Minimum Safe Approach Distance – AS/NZS
Minimum safe approach distances to energized power
lines and their associated parts must be observed while
operating the aerial platform.
Danger
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death
or serious injury will result from contact with, or in-
adequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach
distance as defined by national safety regulations.
AS/NZS 2550.10:2006 define minimum distances that
must be observed when working near overhead power
lines on poles and overhead power lines on towers. Refer
to the clearance requirements decals on the machine to
determine safe approach distances (refer to Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Minimum Safe Approach Distance
Platform Capacity
Two people and their work materials may occupy the
platform.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unsta-
ble. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over
accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated
on the machine decals, placards, and in the machine
specifications in this manual.
The maximum unrestricted rated load capacity and the
maximum number of occupants for the aerial platform are
stated on machine decals, placards, and in the machine
specifications in this manual.
Manual Force
Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to
objects such as walls or other structures outside the
work platform.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over acci-
dent. Do not exceed the maximum allowable manual
force indicated on the machine decals, placards, and
in the machine specifications in this manual.
The maximum allowable manual force is limited to 45 lbs
(200 N) of force per occupant, with a maximum of 90 lbs
(400 N) for two occupants.
Wind Speeds
Do not add anything to the aerial platform that will increase
the wind loading such as billboards, banners, flags, etc.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unsta-
ble. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over
accident. Do not operate the machine in wind speeds
of 28 mph (12.5 m/s) or greater.
Do not operate the aerial platform in windy conditions
with wind gusts or steady wind speeds of 28 mph (12.5
m/s) or greater. Refer to Figure 2.
Prestart Inspection
Perform a prestart inspection before each shift as de-
scribed in Chapter 7. Do not use the aerial platform on
the job unless you are trained and authorized to do so.
Work Place Inspection and Practices
Do not use the aerial platform as a ground connection
when welding.
• The welding ground clamp must be attached to the
same structure that is being welded.
