TIPPING HAZARDS
•
Personnel, equipment and materi-
als on the platform must not ex-
ceed the maximum load capacity.
•
Only raise or extend the platform
when the machine is on solid, lev-
el ground.
•
Do not use the tilt alarm as a level
indicator. The tilt alarm on the
platform will sound only if the ma-
chine is heavily tilted. If the tilt
alarm sounds:
–
Be very careful to lower the
platform. Transfer the machine
to solid, level ground. Do not
change the level or limit
switch.
•
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 dur-
ing 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 un-
even surfaces, or near holes and
steep slopes, use caution and re-
duce the speed.
•
When on the platform do not push
and pull objects outside of it. The
maximum lateral force allowed is:
GTJZ0612:
400 N(90 lbf)indoor/
outdoor
GTJZ0812:
400 N(90 lbf)indoor/
outdoor
GTJZ1012:
400 N(90 lbf)indoor/
200 N(45 lbf)outdoor
GTJZ1212:
400 N(90 lbf)indoor/
200 N(45 lbf)outdoor
•
Do not change any machine parts
that may affect safety and
stability.
TIPPING HAZARDS
•
Do not replace key parts that af-
fect machine stability with differ-
ent weights or specifications.
•
Do not modify or change moving
aerial platforms without the manu-
facturer’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 to, any
overhanging load to any part of
this machine.
•
Do not place ladders or scaffold-
ing on the platform or any parts of
the machine.
•
Do not use the machine on a mov-
ing or active surface or on a ve-
hicle. Ensure all tires are in good
condition, the slotted nuts tight-
ened and the cotter pins
complete.
•
Do not use a battery that weighs
less than the original lead acid
battery (30kg [66 lb]) or lithium
battery (120kg [265 lb]).Do not use
a battery that weighs less than the
original lead acid battery (40 kg
[88 lb]) or lithium battery (160 kg
[353 lb]) about GTJZ1212. The bat-
tery not only provides power, it al-
so serves as a counterweight. The
battery is vital to maintaining the
stability of the machine.
•
Do not use a platform to propel
machines or other objects.
•
Do not let the platform touch near-
by objects.
•
Do not tie off the platform with
rope or other binding materials to
nearby objects.
•
Do not put a load outside the
platform.
•
Do not operate the machine when
the chassis doors are open.
•
When the platform is caught or
stuck or when other objects in the
vicinity impede its normal move-
ment, do not use the platform con-
troller to lower the platform. If you
