Operation
3606 Rev 11/99 77
Preperation and Set-up
1. Make sure that the work platform is securely attached to the quick
attach or forks. Follow the platform manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Make sure the platform, carriage and forks are secured to prevent
them from pivoting from side to side.
3. Ensure the vehicle has a firm footing and is level.
4. Place the travel select lever in (N) NEUTRAL.
5. Engage the parking brake switch. Blocking the wheels is also rec-
ommended.
6. Level the platform in both the side to side and front to back direc-
tions before use.
Elevating Personnel
1. Make sure there are no overhead obstructions or electrical wires
above the platform before lifting.
2. A trained telescopic handler must operate the controls from the
operators compartment and must remain with the vehicle at all
times. Using extreme caution, lift and lower personnel smoothly and
only at their request. The operator should move the platform up in
down only in response to instruction from personnel on the plat-
form.
WARNING
Never tilt the platform forward or rearward when elevating with
personnel aboard. Serious injury or death could result.
DANGER
Never operate this or any equipment in an area in which overhead
power lines, overhead or underground cables, or power sources exist
without first requesting that the appropriate power company or utility
company de-energize the lines or take other suitable precautions.
