SAFETY RULES

Optional Drive System Safety

Tip-over Hazards

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 a slope that exceeds the maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating of the machine. Slope rating applies to machines in the stowed position.

Maximum slope rating, stowed position

Toungue/hitch uphill

20 % (11°)

 

 

Toungue/hitch downhill

20 % (11°)

 

 

Side slope

20 % (11°)

Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditions and adequate traction.

Collision Hazards

Do not drive the machine unless the parking brake is released on the tongue.

Do not drive the machine unless the platform is fully lowered.

Be aware of limited sight distance and blind spots when driving or operating.

Observe and use the color-coded direction arrows on the drive control box for drive and steer functions.

Limit travel speed according to the condition of the ground surface, congestion, slope, location of personnel, and any other factors which may cause collision.

Use common sense and planning when operating the drive system from the ground. Remove the drive control box from its mounting and step away from the machine before driving. Maintain safe distances between the operator, the machine and fixed objects.

Decal Legend

Genie product decals use symbols, color coding and signal words to identify the following:

Safety alert symbol—used to alert personnel to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

Red—used to indicate the presence of an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Orange—used to indicate the presence of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Yellow with safety alert symbol— used to indicate the presence of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may cause minor or moderate injury.

Yellow without safety alert symbol—used to indicate the presence of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Green—used to indicate operation or maintenance information.
