• Do not perform work that will subject unit to a horizontal
force or create a swaying motion of the platform.
• Do not elevate if wind exceeds a gentle breeze (5m/s,
Beaufort scale 3 - small twigs in constant motion/flags fly
extended). Refer to Table 5-2 for Australia and New
Zealand wind rating.
• The user should be familiar with the operating surface.
• Do not elevate platform while on a slope, or on an uneven
or soft surface.
• Before using on floors, bridges, and other surfaces, check
allowable capacity of the surfaces.
• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute
loads evenly on platform floor and tool tray.
• Keep the base of the machine a minimum of 0.6m (2 ft)
from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.
• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-
off machine to any adjacent structure.
• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorised exten-
sions or attachments, increasing the area exposed to wind
will decrease stability.
• If mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or more
wheels are off the ground, the operator must be removed
before attempting to free the machine. Use cranes, forklift
trucks, or other appropriate equipment to stabilize
machine and remove personnel.
