Chapter 4 – Safety Devices
This aerial work platform is manufactured with safety
devices, placards, and decals to reduce the likelihood
of an accident.
For the safety of all personnel, do not disable, modify,
or ignore any safety device.
Safety devices are included in the daily prestart
inspection.
A
Warning
The potential for an accident increases when safety
devices do not function properly. Death or serious
injury could result from such accidents. Do not alter,
disable, or override any safety device.
If any safety devices are defective, remove the aerial
platform from service until qualifi ed maintenance person-
nel can make repairs.
Emergency Stop Controls
There is an emergency stop control at the lower and
upper controls. Both the lower and upper control emer-
gency stop buttons must be on to operate the machine.
At the lower controls, the emergency stop is a two-posi-
tion red push button (refer to Figure 4.1).
Figure 4.1 – Lower Controls
Push the emergency stop button inward to disconnect
power to all control circuits.
Twist the button clockwise to restore power.
At the upper controls, the emergency stop is a two-posi-
tion red push button (refer to Figure 4.2).

Pothole Protector Skids
When the platform raise function is actuated at either
the lower or upper controls, the pothole protector skids
automatically lower just before the platform is elevated.
Ground clearance is reduced from 3.5″ (89 mm) to 3.35″
(85 mm) when the skids lock into position (refer to Figure
4.3).

A
Danger
The aerial platform can tip over if it becomes unstable.
Death or serious injury will result from a tip-over ac-
cident. Do not drive or position the aerial platform for
elevated use within four feet of any drop-off, hole, or
other tip-over hazard.
This protection system limits the tilt angle if a wheel is
driven into a drop-off or hole. This greatly reduces the
likelihood of the aerial platform tipping over.
The pothole protection system is for added protection and
does not justify operating near drop-offs or holes.
