Special Limitations
Elevating the platform is limited to firm, level surfaces
only.
!
Danger
The elevating function shall ONLY be used when
the work platform is level and on a firm surface.
The work platform is NOT intended to be pushed over
uneven, rough, or soft terrain.
Platform Capacity
One person and tools may occupy the platform when
the machine is in use. The maximum platform capacity
for the aerial platform is stated in the “Specifications”
on pages 16 to 21.
!
Danger
DO NOT use machines designed for indoor use
in winds exceeding 0 m/s, refer to the specifica -
tion plate located on the machine to establish if
the machine is designed for outdoor use.
!
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum platform capacity
or the platform occupancy limits for this machine.
Manual Force
Manual force is the force applied by the occupants to
objects such as walls or other structures outside the
work platform.The maximum allowable manual force
is limited to 200 N.
!
Danger
DO NOT exceed the maximum amount of manual
force for this machine.
Lift Level Sensor Interlock
The aerial platform lift function is interlocked through a
level sensor system.
If the chassis is tilted more than 1.5 degrees side-to-
side or 2 degrees front-to-rear, an alarm will sound
when the power is turned on and the lift function will
not operate. When the alarm sounds, only the platform
lower function will operate.
Position the machine on a level surface when the lift
level sensor alarm sounds. When the machine is prop-
erly positioned on a level surface, the alarm will not
sound and all functions will be operational.
The lift level sensor system is for added protection and
does not justify operating on anything other than firm,
flat, level surfaces.
Lowering Alarm
When a platform control button is pressed to lower
the platform, the alarm emits a loud beeping sound to
warn personnel in the work area to stand clear.
!
Danger
Pinch points exist on the scissors structure. Death
or serious injury will result if the scissors structure
lowers onto personnel within the scissors arms
or under the raised platform. Stand clear while
raising and lowering the platform.
Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep hands
and fingers away from the scissors structures
components.
Lowering Interrupt (Arm Guard)
When the platform is lowered to about 1.5 m (5′)
lowering stops.This is the first decent limit the platform
will not lower for three seconds regardless of the
control position to allow personnel to clear the area
of the scissors before the platform completely lowers.
To continue lowering release the controls, wait for three
seconds then operate the controls to lower again. The
allarm will sound, the beacon will flash and there will
be a 1.5 second delay before lowering begins. Any re-
leasing of the controls below the first decent limit will
result in this 1.5 second delay being repeated the next
time the controls are operated.
Used Material Disposal
For proper used material disposal, refer to applicable
national and/or employer standards before disposal
of any environmentally sensitive material including,
but not limited to, hydraulic fliid, batteries, and battery
fluid.
