machine if it contacts
energized power lines.
Personnel on the ground
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.
Tip-over Hazards
Occupants, equipment and materials shall not

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 while the boom is lowered:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above
horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface before raising the platform.
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:
1Lower the primary
boom.
2Lower the secondary
boom.
3Retract the primary
boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform
downhill:
1Retract the primary
boom.
2Lower the secondary
boom.
3Lower the primary
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.

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:
90 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 tracks with tires.
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 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.

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, 2WD
Platform downhill 30% (17°)
Platform uphill 10% (6°)
Side slope 25% (14°)
Maximum slope rating, stowed position, 4WD
Platform downhill 45% (24°)
Platform uphill 30% (17°)
