the trailer. You will need to go farther beyond the passed vehicle before you
can return to your lane.
When turning with a trailer, avoid jerky or sudden movements.
Heavy winds, excessive speed, load shifting or passing vehicles can cause the
trailer to sway while driving. If this occurs, do not brake, do not speed up, and
do not turn the steering wheel. Turning the steering wheel or applying the
brakes can cause the vehicle and trailer to jackknife. Let up on the gas pedal
and keep the steering wheel straight.
If the vehicle and/or trailer inadvertently travel off the paved road, hold the
steering wheel firmly and let up on the gas pedal. Do not apply the brakes. Do
not turn sharply. Slow down to less than 25 mph or 40 km/h. Gradually turn
the steering wheel to get back on the road. Proceed with caution when entering
traffic.
Always drive slowly when backing a trailer.
Keep your hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. Move your hand to the
left to turn the trailer to the left. Move your hand to the right to turn the
trailer to the right. Your PLE Lift has a short wheel base so small moves of the
steering wheel have large effects on the trailer.
Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots when operating.
It is recommended that operators wear an approved hard hat when operating
the machine.

Be aware of crushing hazard when grasping the platform guardrail.
Do not operate a machine in the path of any crane or moving overhead
machinery unless the controls of the crane have been locked out and/or
precautions have been taken to prevent any potential collision.
Do not lower the platform unless the area below is clear of personnel and
obstructions
CRUSHING HAZARDS
Keep hands and limbs out of the scissors.
Use common sense and planning when operating the machine with the controller
from the ground.
Maintain safe distances between the operator, the machine and fixed objects.
