Tip-Over Hazards
Art_2828
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity (see Specifications). The
weight of options and accessories will reduce the rated platform capacity
and must be factored into the total platform load. Refer to the decals on the
options.
DO NOT elevate the platform when the machine is on a surface that is soft and
/ or on a slope.
If the alarm sounds when the platform is raised, use extreme caution to lower
the platform.
Art_2834
Driving:
DO NOT drive the machine on a slope that exceeds the maximum
uphill, downhill or side slope rating. Slope rating applies to machines in the
stowed position. Slope rating is subject to ground and traction conditions.
Driving in stowed position:
use extreme care and slow speeds when driving
across uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces, and near holes or
drop-offs.
Driving with the platform elevated:
DO NOT drive on or near uneven terrain,
unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions.
DO NOT push off or pull toward any object outside the platform.

DO NOT elevate the platform when wind speeds are in excess of 28 m.p.h.
(12.5 m/s). If these wind speeds occur when the platform is elevated, carefully
lower and discontinue operation.
DO NOT increase the surface area of the platform (i.e. cover the rails with
tarp or plywood). Increased surface area exposed to the wind will decrease
machine stability.
Art_2831
DO NOT attach overhanging loads or use the machine as a crane.
DO NOT transport tools and materials unless they are evenly distributed and
can be safely handled by personnel in the platform. Secure all tools and loose
materials to prevent injury to personnel below the platform.
DO NOT alter or disable machine components that may affect safety and
stability.
DO NOT replace items critical to machine stability with items of different weight
or specification.
Art_2832
DO NOT modify or alter the work platform without written permission from
MEC, as modifications can increase weight and/or surface area resulting in
instability.
DO NOT place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or against any part of the
machine.
DO NOT use the machine on a moving or mobile surface or vehicle.
Ensure that all tires are in good condition, air filled tires are properly inflated
and lug nuts are properly torqued.
