Allow for platform movement, electrical line sway or sag and beware of strong or gusty winds.
Keep away from the machine if it contacts energized power lines. Personnel on the ground or in the platform must not touch or operate the machine until energized power lines are shut off.
Do not operate the machine during lightning or storms.
The weight of options and accessories, such as pipe cradles, panel cradles and welders, will reduce the rated platform capacity and must be factored into the total platform load. See the decals on the options.
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:
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 to retract the boom and lower the platform. Do not rotate the boom while lowering. Move the machine to a firm, level surface before raising the platform.
