Electrocution Hazards
• This machine is not insulated and does not provide pro-
tection from contact or proximity to electrical current.
• Maintain safe distance from electrical lines, apparatus,
or any energized (exposed or insulated) parts in accor-
dance with the Minimum Safe Approach Distance
(MSAD) as specified in Table 1-1.
• Allow for machine movement and electrical line sway-
ing.
DO NOT MANEUVER MACHINE OR PERSONNEL INSIDE PROHIB-
ITED ZONE (MSAD). ASSUME ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS AND
WIRING ARE ENERGIZED UNLESS KNOWN OTHERWISE.
Tipping Hazards
• If equipped, lock the right rear (gate side) caster wheel
parallel with the base frame before pushing machine
onto a slope.
• Do not elevate platform while on a slope, or on an
uneven or soft surface.
• Before pushing on floors, bridges, trucks, and other sur-
faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distrib-
ute loads evenly on the platform and material tray.
• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft.
(0.6m) from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions,
debris, concealed holes, and other potential hazards at
the ground level.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not
tie-off machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not increase the platform or material tray size with
unauthorized deck extensions or attachments.
• If mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or
more wheels are off the ground, the operator must be
removed before attempting to free the machine. Use
cranes, forklift trucks, or other appropriate equipment to
stabilize machine and remove personnel.
