y
Attach only one fall restraint device to each lanyard
anchor.
y
Do not use the lanyard anchors for personal fall arrest
anchorage.
Tilt Alarm
If the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than four
degrees side-to-side or front-to-rear when the platform is
raised, an alarm will sound.
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over ac -
cident. Do not drive or position the aerial platform for
elevated use near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft or
uneven ground, or other tip-over hazard.
Completely lower the platform and drive to a level surface
or active the speed level when the tilt alarm sounds.
The tilt alarm is for added protection and does not
justify operating on anything other than firm, flat, level
surfaces.
Speed Level
The speed level button may be used to level the platform
when the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than
four degrees side-to-side or front-to-rear. The speed
level cannot be set if the aerial platform chassis is out
of level more than 13 degrees side-to-side or 9 degrees
front-to-rear.
The speed level button is located on upper control panel
(refer to Figure 4.6).
Figure 4.6 – Upper Controls
y
While the speed level is set only the platform raise
and lower functions will work.
y
To drive the machine, the speed level must be deac-
tivated by fully lowering the platform.

vided on the floor of the platform (refer to Figure 4.5):
