SAFETY RULES

Do not modify or alter an aerial work platform without written permission from the manufacturer. Mounting attachments for holding tools or other materials onto the platform, toeboards or guard rail system can increase the weight in the platform and the surface area of the platform or the load.

Do not place ladders or scaffolds in the platform or against any part of this machine.

Do not transport tools and materials unless they are evenly distributed and can be safely handled by person(s) in the platform.

Do not push the machine or other objects with the platform.

Do not contact adjacent structures with the platform.

Do not tie the platform to adjacent structures.

Do not use batteries that weigh less than the original equipment. Batteries are used as counterweight and are critical to machine stability. Each battery must weigh 65 pounds / 29.5 kg.

Fall Hazards

The guard rail system provides fall protection. If occupants of the platform are required to wear personal fall protection equipment (PFPE) due to job site or employer rules, PFPE equipment and its use shall be in accordance with the PFPE manufacturer’s instructions and applicable governmental requirements.
