•
DO NOT
exceed the rated capacity of the aerial
platform. Do make sure the load is evenly distrib-
uted on the platform.
•
DO NOT
attempt to free a snagged platform with
lower controls until personnel are removed from
the platform.
•
DO NOT
position the aerial platform against an-
other object to steady the platform.
•
DO NOT
place materials on the guardrails or ma-
terials that exceed the confines of the guardrails
unless approved by Skyjack.
WARNING
Entering and exiting the aerial platform
should only be done using the three
points of contact.
• Use only equipped access openings.
• Enter and exit only when the aerial
platform is in the fully retracted position.
•
Do use three points of contact to enter and exit
the platform. Enter and exit the platform from the
ground only. Face the aerial platform when enter-
ing or exiting the platform.
•
Three points of contact means that two hands
and one foot or one hand and two feet are in con-
tact with the aerial platform or the ground at all
times during entering and exiting.

An operator should not use any aerial
platform that:
• does not appear to be working properly.

missing parts.
• has alterations or modifications not approved by
the manufacturer.
• has safety devices which have been altered or
disabled.

Failure to avoid these hazards could
result in death or serious injury.

• Perform a thorough jobsite inspection prior to
operating the aerial platform, to identify potential
hazards in your work area.

appropriate actions to avoid collision.
