Operation
Elevating Personnel
1. Make sure there are no overhead obstructions or electrical wires
above the platform before lifting.
2. A trained operator must operate the controls from the operators
compartment and must remain with the vehicle at all times. Using
extreme caution, lift and lower personnel smoothly and only at their
request. The operator should move the platform up and down only
in response to instruction from personnel on the platform.
3. Always position the platform in the travel position (approximately
one foot above ground level), without personnel in the platform,
before moving the vehicle.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that required restraining equipment 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.
Capacity Limitations
The combined mass (weight in pounds) of the platform, load and personnel
shall not exceed one-third (33%) of the capacity of the related load center
position indicated on the capacity chart. Refer to “Using The Capacity
Chart” on page 76.
DANGER:
Never operate this or any equipment in an area in
which overhead or underground cables or power sources exist
without first requesting that the appropriate power company or
utility company de-energize the lines or take other suitable pre-
cautions.
