or in the platform must
not touch or operate the
machine until energized
power lines are shut off.
Do not operate the machine during lightning or
storms.
Do not use the machine as a ground for welding.

S-80 XC, S-85 XC: If the platform load is greater
than 660 lbs/300 kg, do not move the platform into
the unrestricted range of motion zone.
Do not exceed the maximum platform capacity.
S-80 XC, S-85 XC: Do not attach a platform rated
at 660 lbs/300 kg (unrestricted range of motion) or
1000 lbs/454 kg (restricted range of motion) to
machines with any other rated load. See the serial
label for the maximum rated load.
The weight of options and accessories such as
pipe cradles and welders will reduce the rated
platform capacity, and must be subtracted from the
platform capacity. See the decals with the options
and accessories.
If using accessories, read, understand and obey
the decals, instructions and manuals with the
accessory.

Do
not raise or extend the
boom unless the machine
is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised,
use extreme caution. The machine not level
indicator light will come on and the drive function
in one or both directions will not operate. Identify
the condition of the boom on the slope as shown
below. Follow the steps to lower the boom before
moving to a firm, level surface. Do not rotate the
boom while lowering.
The recovery mode should be used only by trained
and authorized personnel.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform uphill:
1
Lower the boom.
2
Retract the boom.
If
the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform downhill:
1
Retract the boom.
2
Lower the boom.
Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 28
mph/12.5 m/s.
If wind speeds exceed
28
mph/12.5
m/s when the
boom is raised, lower the
boom and do not continue
to operate the machine.
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 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 boom raised or extended.
Do not use the machine as a crane.
Do not push the machine or other objects with the
boom.
Do not contact adjacent structures with the boom.
Do not tie the boom or platform to adjacent
structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
Do not push off or pull
toward any object outside
of the platform.

0 lbs/400 N
Do not alter or disable machine components that
in any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not replace factory-installed tires with tires of
different specification or ply rating.
S-80 XC, S-85 XC: Do not use air-filled tires.
These machines are equipped with foam-filled
tires. Wheel weight is critical to stability.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
that is caught, snagged, or otherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
ground controls.
Do not modify or alter a mobile elevating 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.

Do not use the machine on a moving or mobile
surface or vehicle.
Be sure the tires are in good condition and the lug
nuts tightened.
Operation on Slopes Hazards
Do not drive the machine on a slope that exceeds
the maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating
of the machine. Slope rating applies only to
machines in the stowed position.

e platform.
Do not sit, stand, or climb
on the platform guard
rails. Maintain a firm
footing on the platform
floor at all times.

the platform when raised.
Keep the platform floor clear of debris.
Lower the platform entry mid-rail or close the entry
gate before operating.
Do not enter or exit the platform unless the
machine is in the stowed position and the platform
is at ground level.
Hazards related with the specific product
application of exiting at height have been
considered in the design of the machine, for
further information contact Genie (see section
Contacting the Manufacturer).
Collision Hazards
Be aware of limited sight
distance and blind spots
when driving or operating.
Be aware of the boom position and tailswing when
rotating the turntable.

overhead obstructions or
other possible hazards.
Be aware of crushing
hazards when grasping
the platform guard rail.
Operators must comply with employer, job site,
and governmental rules regarding use of personal
protective equipment.

Observe and use the color-coded direction arrows
on the platform controls and drive chassis for drive
and steer functions.
Do not lower the boom
unless the area below is
clear of person
nel and
obstructions.
Limit travel speed
according to the condition
of the ground surface,
congestion, slope, location

air leak. An air leak or hydraulic leak can penetrate
and/or burn skin.
Improper contact with components under any
cover will cause serious injury. Only trained
maintenance personnel should access
compartments. Access by the operator is only
advised when performing a pre-operation
inspection. All compartments must remain closed
and secured during operation.
Explosion and Fire Hazards
