Allow for platform movement, electrical line sway
or sag, and beware of strong or gusty winds.
Keep away from the 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.

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.
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.

Eighth Edition • First Printing Operator's Manual
Work Area Safety
Part No. 1319005GT Z®-30/20N • Z®-30/20N RJ 15
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 below. 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 alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not drive over 0.7 mph/1 km/h with the primary
boom raised or extended or the secondary boom
raised.
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 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 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.
Do not push off or pull
toward any object outside
of the platform.

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 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 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 the tires are in good condition and the lug
nuts tightened.
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 a minimum of 105 lbs /
47.6 kg. Each battery box including batteries must
weigh a minimum of 530 lbs / 240.4 kg.

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.
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 side slope rating, stowed position
Platform downhill
35%
(19°)
Platform uphill
20%
(11°)
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).
