WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure that all employees understand and follow the
following instructions.
• Read and understand the owner’s manual before
using the work platform.
• Ensure that all safety and warning labels stay in
place and are legible. See the labels page in this
manual.
• Observe all applicable OSHA laws regulating the use
of this platform.
• Warning: Each person aboard the work platform must
wear appropriate fall prevention gear and keep it
tethered to the platform at the lanyard attachment
point at all times.
• The work platform cannot have a width greater than
the overall width of the fork truck being used
(measured across the load bearing tires) plus
250mm on either side.
See ASME/ANSI B56.1; 7.36.3(e).
• Ensure that the forks are fully inserted through both
sets of the fork pockets.
• Secure the work platform to the forklift mast before
use.
• Do not use the work platform if any damage to the
standing surface, the handrails, or any part of the
gate is observed.
• Do not use the work platform unless the fork tine
lock, securing chain, and gate latch are all in good
condition and functioning properly.
• The fork truck’s parking brake must be applied before
elevating the work platform.
• Never transport personnel in basket at any time.
Personnel are to be raised and lowered only.
• A fork truck carrying a work platform must only be
used on a firm and level finished surface in good
repair, and the truck’s forks must be kept level with
the ground at all times.
• Be alert for personnel moving underneath the
platform.
• Warning: Do not use any part of the gate, siderails, or
safety chains as a step, or as a support for leaning
out of the work platform.
• Warning: Never use the platform to lift or support any
type of structural load. It is to be used only to lift and
transport personnel along with their associated light
tools and equipment.
• Do not use the optional caster kit to support and / or
move the platform while personnel or equipment are
aboard. Always elevate the platform off the floor when
transporting equipment or personnel!
• Fork truck manufacturers are to be consulted when
accessories are used that affect the truck’s capacity
and safe operation. The stockpicker’s load-loss and
center-of-gravity will be made available on request.
