Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable. Death or serious injury will result from a
tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity values indicated on the platform rating placard.
If the platform is fully lowered and is overloaded, when it is elevated just past 1.8 m (6′), a control module
will stop the lifting and driving functions and the alarm will sound and the warning light will flash. The
platform can still be lowered to remove the excess load.
If the platform is elevated just past 1.8 m (6′) and material is added to the platform overloading it, a control
module will stop the lift, driving and lowering functions and the alarm will sound and the warning light will
flash. In this case, remove the load in excess of rated capacity and cycle the emergency stop button at the
upper controls to return to normal operation.
Flashing Light
An optional red or amber flashing light may be located at the rear of the aerial platform. The flashing light
warns personnel that the aerial platform is in the area.
The light flashes at about one flash per second when the machine is set up for operation from the upper
controls.
Gauges and Displays
The aerial platform is equipped with several gauges to monitor the condition of the machine before and
during operation.
Hour Meter
The hour meter is located on the lower control panel. It measures the accumulated aerial platform operating
time.
