not provide protection from contact with or
proximity to electrical current.
Obey all local and
governmental regulations
regarding required
clearance from electrical
power lines. At a
minimum, the required
clearance contained in the
chart below must be
followed.
Line Voltage Required Clearance
0 to 50KV 3.05 m
50 to 200KV 4.60 m

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
exceed the maximum platform capacity or the
maximum platform capacity of the platform
extension.
Maximum platform capacity 227 kg
Maximum occupants 2
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

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. 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 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 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 – 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.
Do not replace factory-installed foam-filled tires
with air-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 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.

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.
Maximum slope rating, stowed position, 4WD
Platform downhill 45% (24°)
Platform uphill 45% (24°)
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.

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.
When the engine is running, operate the machine
in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Explosion and Fire Hazards
