Note
The lanyard anchors are not designed for lifting or tying
the machine down.
All personnel in the platform must connect their fall
restraint device to a lanyard anchor before raising
the platform.
Attach only one fall restraint device to each lanyard
anchor.
Do not use the lanyard anchors for personal fall ar-
rest anchorage.
Tilt Alarm
If the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than
2 degrees side-to-side or front-to-rear when the platform
is raised, an alarm will sound.
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 near any drop-off, hole, slope, soft
or uneven ground, or other tip-over hazard.
Completely lower the platform and 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 fi rm, fl at, level
surfaces.

Lowering Alarm
When the aerial platform is lowered, the alarm emits a
loud beeping sound to warn personnel in the work area
to stand clear.
A
Danger
Pinch points exist on the machine. Death or serious
injury will result if the platform lowers onto personnel.
Stand clear while raising and lowering the platform.
Be careful when lowering the platform. Keep hands and
fi ngers away from the machine components.
All Motion Alarm
An optional all motion alarm may be provided on the
machine. The alarm sounds, in short beeps, anytime the
machine functions are being operated. The alarm is used
to warm personnel in the work area to stand clear.
Flashing Lights
The optional fl ashing lights are mounted on each side of
the machine and may be used to warn personnel that the
aerial platform is in the area.
The lights fl ash at approximately one fl ash per second
when the machine is operated from the upper or lower
