The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury will result from con-
tact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by the Minimum Safe
Approach Distance section in Chapter 3–Safety.
Regardallconductorsasenergized.
Allowfor electrical wire sag and aerialplatform sway.
If the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial platform contacts a high-voltage electrical conductor,
theentire machine can become electricallycharged.
Ifthathappens,remainonthemachineanddonotcontactanyotherstructureorobject. This includes
the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any other objects that are not part of the aerial platform.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical shock
hazardresulting in death or serious injury.
Ifanaerialplatformis in contact with an energized conductor the platform operator must warn ground
personnelinthevicinitytostayaway.Theirbodiescanconductelectricitycreatinganelectricalshock
hazardresulting in death or serious injury.
Donotapproach or leave the aerial platform until theelectricityhas been turned off.
Do not attempt to operate the lower controls when the platform, booms, or any part of the aerial
platformis in contactwithahigh-voltage electrical conductororifthere is animmediatedangerof such
contact.
Personnelon or near an aerial platformmustbecontinuouslyaware of electrical hazards, recognizing
that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.

Operation
The aerial platform has built-in safety features and has
been factory tested for compliance with manufacturers
specificationsandindustrystandards.However, any per-
sonnellifting aerial platform can be potentially dangerous
inthehandsof untrained or careless operators.
AWarning
The potential for an accident increases when the
aerial platform is operated by personnel who are

Chapter 1 – Introduction
2SB85J Fixed Axle – 0112975
not trained and authorized. Death or serious injury
can result from such accidents. Read and under-
standthe information in thismanual and on the plac-
ards and decals on the machine before operating
the aerial platform on the job.
Training is essential and must be performed by a quali-
fiedperson.Become proficient in knowledge and actual
operationbefore using theaerialplatformonthejob.You
mustbetrainedandauthorized to perform any functions
oftheaerialplatform.Operationoftheaerialplatformmust
be within the scope of the machine specifications.
Theoperator bearsultimateresponsibility forfollowingall
manufacturer’sinstructionsandwarnings,regulationsand
safetyrulesoftheiremployerand/oranystate or federal
law.
Maintenance
Every person who maintains, inspects, tests, or repairs
the aerial platform must be qualified to do so. Following
the daily prestart inspection in this Operator’s Manual
willhelpkeepthe aerialplatformin optimumworkingcon-
dition.Other maintenance functions must be performed
by maintenance personnel who are qualified to work on
theaerial platform.
ACaution
Welding current can be very intense. Damage to
electronic components can result. Connect the
ground clamp as close as possible to the area be-
ing welded. Disconnect battery cables and any mi-
croprocessors and engine control modules before
welding on the machine.
If it becomes necessary to weld aerial platform compo-
nents as a method of repair, take all precautions to pre-
vent damage to electronic circuitry and devices on the
machine. This includes, but may not be limited to, dis-
connectingbatterycables and electronic devices.
Do not modify this aerial platform without prior written
consentof theUpRightEngineeringDepartment. Modifi-
cation may void the warranty, adversely affect stability,
oraffect the operational characteristicsoftheaerial plat-
form.
Owner and User Responsibilities
All owners and users of the aerial platform must read,
understand, and comply with all applicable regulations.
Ultimatecompliance to national safety regulations is the
responsibilityofthe user and their employer.
