Do not raise or extend the boom unless the machine is on a firm, level surface.

Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator. The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the machine is on a severe slope.

If the tilt alarm sounds while the boom is lowered: Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level surface before raising the platform.

If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised: Use extreme caution. Identify the condition of the boom on the slope as shown below. Follow the steps to lower the boom before moving to a firm, level surface. Do not rotate the boom while lowering.

If the tilt alarm sounds with the platform uphill:

1

Lower the primary boom.

3

2

Lower the secondary boom.

 

3

Retract the primary boom.

 

If the tilt alarm sounds with the platform downhill:

1 Retract the primary

boom.3

2 Lower the secondary boom.

3Lower the primary boom.

Work Area Safety

Do not raise the boom when wind speeds may exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s. If wind speeds exceed 28 mph / 12.5 m/s when the boom is raised, lower the boom and do not continue to operate the machine.

Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty winds. Do not increase the surface area of the platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed to the wind will decrease machine stability.

Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving the machine in the stowed position across uneven terrain, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces and near holes and drop-offs.

Do not drive the machine on or near uneven terrain, unstable surfaces or other hazardous conditions with the boom raised or extended.

Do not use the machine as a crane.
