TIPPING HAZARDS
• Personnel, equipment and
materials on the platform must
not exceed the maximum load
capacity.
• Only raise or extend the boom
when the machine is on solid,
level ground.
• Select only the low speed when
driving the machine on a slope.
• Do not use the tilt alarm as a level
indicator. The tilt alarm on the
platform will sound only if the
machine is heavily tilted.
• If the tilt alarm sounds when the
machine drives up a slope, please
lower the boom per the following
procedure and move the machine
onto firm level ground. Be sure
not to rotate the boom when
lowering.
1. Lower the main boom;
2. Lower foldable boom;
3. Retract the telescopic boom.
• If the tilt alarm sounds when the
machine drives down a slope,
please lower the boom per the
following procedure and move the
machine onto firm level ground.
Be sure not to rotate the boom
when lowering.
1. Retract the telescopic boom;
2. Lower foldable boom;
3. Lower the main boom.
• Do not drive faster than 0.8 km/h
(0.5 mph) when the platform is
raised.
• When the platform is raised, the
machine cannot travel on uneven
terrain, unstable surfaces or in
other dangerous conditions.
• Do not operate the machine
during strong winds or gusts, and
do not increase the surface area
of the platform or load. Increasing
the area exposed to the wind will
reduce the stability of the
machine.
• When the machine is on rough
ground, with gravel or other
uneven surfaces, or near holes

and steep slopes, maintain a
minimum distance of 0.6m (2ft)
and reduce the speed.
• When on the platform do not push
and pull objects outside of it. The
maximum lateral force allowed is:
400 N (90 lbf).
• Tow the machine only from the
tiedown/lifting points on the
chassis.
• Never use the boom or platorm to
stablize or support any objects
outside of the machine.
• Do not change any machine parts
that may affect safety and
stability.
• Do not replace key parts that
affect machine stability with
different weights or
specifications.
• Do not modify or change moving
aerial platforms without the
manufacturer’s prior written
permission.
• On the platform, do not attach an
additional device for placing tools
or other materials to the guardrail.
This will increase the platform
weight, surface area and load.
• Do not place on, or fasten any
overhanging load to any part of
this machine.
• Do not place ladders or
scaffolding on the platform or any
parts of the machine.
• Do not use the machine on a
moving or active surface or on a
vehicle. Ensure all tires are in
good condition, the slotted nuts
tightened and the cotter pins
complete.
• Do not use a battery that weighs
less than the original lead acid
battery (55kg[121 lb]) or lithium
battery (75kg[165 lb]), and do not
remove or modify the
counterweight or other parts of
the battery box. The battery not
only provides power, it also
serves as a counterweight. The
battery is vital to maintaining the
stability of the machine.
