Do not raise or extend the
boom unless the machine
is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised,
use extreme caution. The machine not level
indicator light will come on and the drive function in
one or both directions will not operate. Identify the
condition of the boom on the slope as shown below.
Follow the steps to lower the boom before moving
to a firm, level surface. Do not rotate the boom
while lowering.
The recovery mode should be used only by trained
and authorized personnel.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform uphill:
1
Lower the boom.
2
Retract the boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds with the
platform downhill:
1
Retract the boom.
2
Lower the boom.
Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 12.5 m/s. If wind
speeds exceed 12.5 m/s
when the boom is raised,
lower the boom and do not
continue to operate the
machine.
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.
