depressions or holes of any
type, loading docks, debris,
drop-offs or surfaces that may
affect the stability of the MEWP.
IF OPERATION IN AREAS
WITH HOLES OR DROP-OFFS

elevated driving shall not be
allowed. Position the MEWP
horizontally only with the
platform fully-lowered. After
ensuring that all 4 wheels or
outriggers (optional equipment)
have contact with a firm, level
surface, the platform can be
raised. After elevation, the drive
function must not be activated.

than the maximum inclines listed in Section 7.3 .
Ascending or descending slopes must only be
done when fully lowered.

other devices on it to increase
the platform size or work height.

side force on the platform
capacity label when elevated
(refer to

inside the platform when
elevating or driving. Be aware
of blind spots when operating
