Lifting Personnel
Warning
NEVER tilt the platform forward or rearward when
elevated with personnel aboard. Serious injury or
death could result.
Danger
NEVER operate this or any equipment in an area
in which overhead power lines, overhead or un-
derground cables, or power sources exist without
first requesting that the appropriate power com-
pany or utility company de-energize the lines or
take other suitable precautions.
1. Make sure there are no overhead obstructions or
electrical wires above platform before lifting.
2. If the platform is not equipped with controls, a
trained telescopic handler operator must operate
the controls from the operator's compartment.
Using extreme caution, lift and lower personnel
smoothly and only at their request. The operator
should always alert personnel on the platform and
in the work area before moving it up or down.
3. If the platform is equipped with controls, the
platform operator must alert other personnel on
the platform and in the work area before moving it
up or down. Follow the platform manufacturer’s
instructions regarding use of the controls.
4. Always lower the platform to the travel position
(approximately one foot above ground level)
before moving the vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that required restraining means
such as railings, chains, cable, body belts with lanyards,
etc. are in place and properly used. Never use railings,
planks, ladders, etc. on the platform for the purpose of
achieving additional reach or height.
In case of engine failure and subsequent loss of power for
controls, refer to emergency boom lowering procedure
(under General Maintenance in this manual).
Capacity Limitation
The combined mass (weight in pounds) of the platform,
load and personnel shall not exceed one-third of the
capacity of the related load center position indicated on
the capacity chart, located on the right side wall of the
operator’s compartment. Refer also to "Using the
Capacity Chart."
