tional weight is loaded (personnel, tools and sup-
plies).
2. If total weight in platform will be 500 LBS. (227 kg) or
less, proceed with adding weight.
Platform Level Adjustment

position PLATFORM/LEVEL control switch UP and
hold until platform is level.
2. Leveling DOWN. Depress footswitch to lower plat-
form, position PLATFORM/LEVEL control switch to

4.7 BOOM
A RED TILT WARNING LIGHT IS LOCATED ON THE CONTROL
CONSOLE WHICH LIGHTS WHEN THE CHASSIS IS ON A 5
DEGREE OR GREATER SLOPE. DO NOT SWING OR RAISE BOOM
ABOVE HORIZONTAL WHEN LIGHT IS LIT.
DO NOT DEPEND ON TILT ALARM AS A LEVEL INDICATOR FOR
THE CHASSIS. TILT ALARM INDICATES CHASSIS IS ON A
SEVERE SLOPE (5 DEGREE OR GREATER). CHASSIS MUST BE
LEVEL BEFORE SWINGING, OR RAISING BOOM ABOVE HORI-
ZONTAL.
TO AVOID UPSET IF RED TILT WARNING LIGHT LIGHTS WHEN
BOOM IS RAISED ABOVE HORIZONTAL, LOWER PLATFORM TO
GROUND LEVEL. THEN REPOSITION MACHINE SO THAT CHAS-
SIS IS LEVEL BEFORE RAISING BOOM.
TRAVELING WITH BOOM BELOW HORIZONTAL IS PERMITTED
ON GRADES NOT EXCEEDING THOSE SPECIFIED ON THE
SERIAL NUMBER PLATE.
TO AVOID SERIOUS INJURY, DO NOT OPERATE MACHINERY IF
ANY CONTROL LEVER OR TOGGLE SWITCH CONTROLLING
PLATFORM MOVEMENT DOES NOT RETURN TO THE ‘OFF’ OR
NEUTRAL POSITION WHEN RELEASED.
TO AVOID A COLLISION AND INJURY IF PLATFORM DOES NOT
STOP WHEN A CONTROL SWITCH OR LEVER IS RELEASED,
REMOVE FOOT FROM FOOTSWITCH OR USE EMERGENCY STOP
SWITCH TO STOP THE MACHINE.
