SR3084SL – 8210037

Attach only one fall restraint device to each lanyard

anchor.

Do not use the lanyard anchors for personal fall arrest
anchorage.

Tilt Alarm

If the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than four

degrees side-to-side or front-to-rear when the platform is

raised, an alarm will sound.

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

or active the speed level 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.

Speed Level

The speed level button may be used to level the platform

when the aerial platform chassis is out of level more than

four degrees side-to-side or front-to-rear. The speed

level cannot be set if the aerial platform chassis is out

of level more than 13 degrees side-to-side or 9 degrees

front-to-rear.

The speed level button is located on upper control panel

(refer to Figure 4.6).

Figure 4.6 – Upper Controls

While the speed level is set only the platform raise

and lower functions will work.

To drive the machine, the speed level must be deac-

tivated by fully lowering the platform.
