SAFETY RULES
Do not alter or disable machine components that in
any way affect safety and stability.
Do not replace items critical to machine stability
with items of different weight or specification.
Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform.
Mounting attachments for holding tools or other
materials onto the platform, toeboards or guard rail
system can increase the weight in the platform and
the surface area of the platform or the load.
Do not place or attach overhanging loads to any
part of the machine.
Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or
against any part of the machine.
Do not use the machine on a moving or mobile
surface or vehicle.
Be sure all tires are in good condition, air-filled tires
are properly inflated and lug nuts are properly
tightened.
Do not use the machine as a crane.
Do not push the machine or other objects with the
boom.
Do not contact adjacent structures with the boom.
Do not tie the boom or platform to adjacent
structures.
Do not place loads outside the platform perimeter.
Do not use the platform controls to free a platform
that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented
from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All
personnel must be removed from the platform
before attempting to free the platform using the
ground controls.
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the surface area of the
platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed to
the wind will decrease machine stability.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in the stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and
near holes and drop-offs.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the boom raised or extended.
Do not push off or pull toward any object outside
of the platform.
