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.
The aerial platform must be on a fi rm, fl at surface capable
of withstanding the load forces imposed by the aerial
platform in all operating conditions before the speed
level is used.
Engine Protection Systems
A constant alarm will sound to warn against high engine
temperature or low oil pressure.
The engine will shut-down
if the operating temperature exceeds a preset level
or if the oil pressure is too low for safe operation.
High Engine Temperature Alarm
If the coolant exceeds the engine operating temperature
an alarm will sound and the engine will shut off.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that caused
the overheating has been corrected.
Low Oil Pressure Alarm
The low oil pressure alarm sounds when the engine oil
pressure is near the lower limit for safe engine operation.
If the alarm sounds, lower the platform to the ground and
then turn the engine off.
If the engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating
value the engine will shut off.
The engine can be restarted with low oil pressure,
but it will only run for a few seconds before it shuts
off again.
Do not restart the engine until the condition that
caused the low oil pressure has been corrected.

A
Danger

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 functions are being operated. The alarm is used
to warm personnel in the work area to stand clear.

The optional fl ashing light mounted on the machine may
be used to warn personnel that the aerial platform is in
the area.
The lights fl ash at about one fl ash per second when the
