VERSALIFT VO-452/455/460-MHI

Whenever tools or equipment are included with
the operator in the platform the combined weight
must not exceed the rated load capacity.

Avoid dropping tools. Use a hand line to raise
or lower tools to/from the platform.

Stand only on the platform floor.

Maintain safe clearances from electrical power
lines and apparatus. The aerial lift does not
provide protection from contact or proximity to
two or more electrically charged conductors.

Never allow anyone on the ground to touch the
unit when the lift is being used to work on or
near electrical lines.

Stow the booms securely before moving the
truck.
