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 while the boom is lowered:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above
horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface before raising the platform.
If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised,
use extreme caution. 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 primary
boom.
2 Retract/lower the
secondary boom.
3 Retract the primary
boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform downhill:
1 Retract the primary
boom.
2 Retract/lower the
secondary boom.
3 Lower the primary
boom.
Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 28 mph/12.5 m/s.
If wind speeds exceed
28 mph/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.
