If the platform load is greater than 301 kg, or
274 kg with Aircraft Protection Package do not
move the platform into the unrestricted range of
motion zone.
Do not exceed the maximum platform capacity.
Do not attach a platform rated at 300 kg
(unrestricted range of motion) or 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, panel 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. Identify the condition of the
boom on the slope as shown in the tilt alarm
procedure. Follow the steps to lower the boom
before moving to a firm, level surface. Do not rotate
the boom while lowering.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform uphill:
1
Lower the primary
boom.
2
Lower the secondary
boom.
3
Retract the primary
boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform
downhill:
1
Retract the primary
boom.
2
Lower the secondary
boom.
3
Lower the primary
boom.

Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 12.
5 m/s. If wind
speeds exceed 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.
Maximum allowable
manual force

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.
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.

Work Area Safety
16 Z®-45 XC™Part No. 1305353GT
Do not modify or alter an aerial 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 place or attach
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
machine.
Do not transport tools and materials unless they
are evenly distributed and can be safely handled by
person(s) in the platform.
Do not use the machine on a moving or mobile
surface or vehicle.
Be sure all tires are in good condition, air-filled tires
are properly inflated and lug nuts are properly
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.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position,
4WD
Platform downhill
45%
(24°)
Platform uphill
25%
(14°)
Side slope
25%
(14°)
Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions
with one person in the platform and adequate
traction. Additional platform weight may reduce
slope rating. See Driving on a Slope in the
Operating Instructions section.

Fall Hazards
Occupants must wear a
safety belt or harness in
accordance with
governmental regulations.
Attach the lanyard to the
anchor provided in the
platform.
Do not sit, stand, or
climb
on the platform guard rails.
Maintain a firm footing on
the platform floor at all
times.
Do not climb down from 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.
Check the work area for
overhead obstructions or
other possible hazards.
Be aware of crushing
hazards when grasping the
platform guard rail.
