Do not raise the platform
unless the machine is on a
firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds on the chassis only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform. Move the machine to a firm,
level surface. If the tilt alarm sounds when the
platform is raised, use extreme caution to lower the
platform.
Do not drive over 0.8 km/h with the platform raised.
Indoor Use: When raising the platform, follow
ratings for allowable side force and number of
occupants on the next page.
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 platform raised.
