Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator. The tilt alarm sounds on the chassis only when the
machine is on a slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds:
Lower the platform. Move the machine to a firm, level surface. If the tilt alarm sounds when the
platform is raised, use extreme caution to lower the platform.
Do not alter or disable the limit switches.
Do not drive over 0.5 mph / 0.7 km/h with the platform raised. 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.
Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain, unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions
with the platform raised.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the machine in a stowed position across uneven
terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and near holes and drop-offs.
Do not push off or pull toward any object outside of the platform.
Do not alter or disable machine components that in any way affect safety and stability.
Do not place or attach fixed or overhanging loads to any part of this machine.
