Operation
The aerial platform may be operated from either the
lower or upper controls.
!
Danger
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated.
Death or serious injury will result from contact
with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized
conductor. Do not go closer than the minimum
safe approach distance as defined by national
safety regulations.
Pinch points may exist between moving
components. Death or serious injury will result
from becoming trapped between components,
buildings, structures, or other obstacles. Make
sure there is sufficient clearance around the
machine before moving the chassis or platform.
Allow sufficient room and time to stop movement
to avoid contact with structures or other hazards.
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes
unstable. Death or serious injury will result from
a tip-over accident. Operate the aerial platform on
a firm, flat, level surface. Engage both of the rear
brakes befor entering the platform. Do not position
the aerial platform for elevated use near any drop-
off, hole, slope, soft or uneven ground, or other
tip-over hazard. Some machines have outdoor
capability, Check the machine specifications on
the specification plate (located on the machine
chassis) before using the machine outdoors. Do
not raise the platform in wind speeds above 0 m/s
unless your machine has outdoor capability.
The platform rated work load is the total weight of the
personnel and equipment that may be lifted in the
platform.
The work loads are stated on the platform rating
placard at the entrance to the platform.

Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes
unstable. Death or serious injury will result from
a tip-over accident. Do not exceed the capacity
values indicated on the platform rating placard.
Capacity values indicate the rated lifting capacity and
do not indicate aerial platform stability.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for ensuring
that the aerial platform is properly set up for the
particular conditions encountered.
