SAFETY RULES

Outrigger Safety

Tip-over Hazards

Do not lower the outriggers unless the machine is
on a firm surface. Avoid drop-offs, holes, unstable
or slippery surfaces and other possible hazardous
conditions.

When the auto level function is not being used and
the outriggers are being lowered individually, the
steer-end outriggers must be lowered first.

Do not raise the platform unless the machine is
level. Do not set the machine up on a surface
where it cannot be leveled using only the
outriggers.

Do not raise the platform unless all four outriggers
are properly lowered, the footpads are in firm
contact with the ground and the machine is level.

Do not adjust the outriggers while the platform is
raised.

Do not drive while the outriggers are lowered.

Decal Legend

Genie product decals use symbols, color coding
and signal words to identify the following:

Safety alert symbol—used to alert
personnel to potential personal
injury hazards. Obey all safety
messages that follow this symbol
to avoid possible injury or death.

Red—used to indicate the
presence of an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.

Orange—used to indicate the
presence of a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

Yellow with safety alert symbol—
used to indicate the presence of a
potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may cause
minor or moderate injury.

Yellow without safety alert
symbol—used to indicate the
presence of a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in property
damage.

Green—used to indicate operation
or maintenance information.

clothing and eye wear when working with batteries.
