• Approved head gear must be worn by all operating and
ground personnel.
• Check work area for clearances overhead, on sides, and bot-
tom of platform when lifting or lowering platform, and driving.
• During operation, keep all body parts inside platform railing.
• Use the boom functions, not the drive function, to position the
platform close to obstacles.
• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision is
obstructed.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away from
machine during all driving and swing operations.
• Under all travel conditions, the operator must limit travel
speed according to conditions of ground surface, congestion,
visibility, slope, location of personnel, and other factors which
may cause collision or injury to personnel.
• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds. When driv-
ing in high speed, switch to low speed before stopping. Travel
grades in low speed only.
• Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close quarters or
when driving in reverse.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles from
striking or interfering with operating controls and persons in
the platform.
• Be sure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s presence. Dis-
