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 severe 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 0.5 mph / 0.8 km/h with the
platform raised.
Do not raise the platform when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed
28 mph / 12.5 m/s when the platform is raised,
lower the platform and do not continue to operate
the machine.
Outdoor use: Do not operate the machine
outdoors with the indoor use button selected.
Do not operate the
machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the
surface area of the
platform o
r the load.
Increasing the area
exposed to the wind will
decrease machine
stability.
Use extreme care and
slow speeds while driving
the machine in the 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.

415 lbs/188 kg.
Do not modify or alter a mobile elevated work
platform without prior written permission from the
manufacturer. Mounting attachments for holding
tools or other materials onto the platform,
toeboards, or guard rail system can increase the
weight in the platform and the surface area of the
platform or the load.

ach
fixed or overhanging loads
to any part of this
machine.
Do not place ladders or
scaffolds in the platform or
against any part of this
