Do not raise the platform unless the machine is on
a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds on the chassis only when the
machine is on a slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform. Move the machine to a firm,
level surface. If the tilt alarm sounds when the
platform is raised, use extreme caution to lower
the platform.
Do not drive over 0.8km/h with the platform raised.
Outdoor Use: Do not raise the platform when wind
speeds may exceed 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds
exceed 12.5 m/s when the platform is raised, lower
the platform and do not continue to operate the
machine.
Indoor Use: When raising the platform, follow
ratings for allowable side force and number of
occupants on the next page.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the surface area of the
platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed
to the wind will decrease machine stability.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in a stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and
near holes and drop-offs.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven
terrain, unstable surfaces or other hazardous
conditions with the platform raised.
Do not use the machine as a crane.
Do not push the machine or other objects with the
platform.
Do not contact adjacent structures with the
platform.
Do not tie the platform to adjacent structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.

Work Area Safety
Battery Safety
Burn Hazards
Batteries contain acid. Always
wear protective clothing and
eye wear when working with
batteries.
Avoid spilling or contacting
battery acid. Neutralize
battery acid spills with baking
soda and water.
Do not expose the batteries or
the charger to water or rain
during charging.
Explosion Hazards
Keep sparks, flames and
lighted tobacco away from
batteries. Batteries emit an
explosive gas.
The battery tray should remain
open during the entire charging
cycle.
Do not contact the battery
terminals or the cable clamps
with tools that may cause
sparks.
Component Damage Hazard
Do not use any battery charger greater than 24V to
charge the batteries.
Electrocution / Burn Hazards
Connect the battery charger to a
grounded, AC 3-wire electrical
outlet only.
Inspect daily for damaged
cords, cables and wires.
Replace damaged items before
operating.
Avoid electrical shock from contact with battery
terminals. Remove all rings, watches and other
jewelry.
Tip-over Hazard
Do not use batteries that weigh less than the
original equipment. Batteries are used as
counterweight and are critical to machine stability.
Each battery must weigh 29.5 kg. Battery tray
including batteries must weigh a minimum
of 152 kg.
Lifting Hazard
Use the appropriate number of people and proper
lifting techniques when lifting batteries.
Lockout After Each Use
1 Select a safe parking location—firm level
surface, clear of obstruction and traffic.
2 Lower the platform.
3 Turn the key switch to the off position and
remove the key to secure from unauthorized
use.
4 Chock the wheels.
5 Charge the batteries.
