Operation
85 Model 6042 Origin 5/02
This vehicle is designed to lift and transport materials and in many cases
should not be used to elevate personnel. Only equipment designed and
approved for elevating personnel should be used.
If the vehicle must be used to elevate personnel, use only an approved work
platform. When using a work platform, the following precautions must be
taken:
Preparation and Setup
1. Make sure that the work platform is securely attached to the quick
attach or forks. Follow the platform manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Make sure the platform, carriage and forks are secured to prevent
them from pivoting from side to side.
3. Ensure the vehicle has a firm footing and is level.
4. Place the travel select lever in (N) NEUTRAL and move the neutral
lock lever to the (N) NEUTRAL LOCK position.
5. Engage the parking brake switch. Blocking the wheels is also rec-
ommended.
6. Level the platform in both the side-to-side and front-to-back direc-
tions before use.
Elevating Personnel
WARNING:
Use only an approved work platform to lift or
lower personnel. Never drive the vehicle with the work platform in
a raised position or with personnel on board, even for a short dis-
tance.
WARNING:
Never tilt the platform forward or rearward
when elevating with personnel aboard. Death or serious personal
injury could result.
