• Use the boom functions, not the drive function, to position

the platform close to obstacles.

• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision

is obstructed.

• Keep non-operating personnel at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away

from machine during all driving and swing operations.

• Limit travel speed according to conditions of ground sur-

face, congestion, visibility, slope, location of personnel,
and other factors which may cause collision or injury to
personnel.

• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds. When

driving in high speed, switch to low speed before stop-
ping. Travel grades in low speed only.

• Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close quarters

or when driving in reverse.

• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles

from striking or interfering with operating controls and per-
sons in the platform.

• Be sure that operators of other overhead and floor level

machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s pres-
ence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes.

• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a raised

boom or platform. Position barricades on floor if neces-
sary.

hauling.

ing. Refer to the Emergency Procedures section of this

ity.
