Operator's Manual

 

 

 

 

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.

Do not use the platform controls to free a platform that is caught, snagged or otherwise prevented from normal motion by an adjacent structure. All personnel must be removed from the platform before attempting to free the platform using the ground controls.

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.
