Guardrails
The guardrail system includes a top rail, mid rail, and
toeboards around the sides of the platform (refer to Fig-
ure 4.6).
Figure 4.6 – Platform
A safety chain or an optional swinging gate allows for
access to the platform. The gate closes automatically
after entering or exiting the platform. The chain or gate is
part of the guardrail system and must be securely fas-
tened after entering the platform.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
The electrical power outlet (refer to Figure 4.7), at the
platform contains a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
to provide protection for personnel.

Tilt Alarm
An alarm will sound if the aerial platform chassis is out of
level more than two degrees side-to-side or four degrees
front-to-rear when the platform is raised.
A
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes un-
stable. Death or serious injury will result from a tip-
over accident. Do not drive or position the aerial
platform for elevated use near any drop-off, hole,
slope, soft or uneven ground, or other tip-over haz-
ard.
Completely lower the platform and then drive to a level
surface when the tilt alarm sounds.
The tilt alarm is for added protection and does not justify
operating on anything other than firm, flat, level surfaces.
Horn
The optional horn may be used to warn personnel on the
ground. The horn is operational when the machine is set
up for operation from the upper controls.
Flashing Light
An optional red or amber flashing light may be located at
the rear of the aerial platform. The flashing light warns
personnel that the aerial platform is in the area.
The light flashes at about one flash per second when the
machine is set up for operation from the upper controls.
