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 an aerial work platform.
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 raise or extend the boom unless both axles
are extended.
Do not raise or extend the boom unless the
machine is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on tilt alarm as a level indicator. Tilt
alarm sounds in platform only when machine is on
a severe slope.
If tilt alarm sounds:
Do not extend, rotate or raise boom above
horizontal. Move machine to a firm, level surface
before raising platform. If tilt alarm sounds when
platform is raised, use extreme caution to retract
boom and lower platform. Do not rotate boom while
lowering. Move machine to a firm, level surface
before raising platform.
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 stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and
near holes and drop-offs.
