Tipping Hazards

• The user should be familiar with the surface before driv-

ing. Do not exceed the allowable sideslope and grade
while driving.

• Do not elevate platform or drive with platform elevated

while on a slope, or on an uneven or soft surface.

• Before driving on floors, bridges, trucks, and other sur-

faces, check allowable capacity of the surfaces.

• Never exceed the maximum platform capacity. Distribute

loads evenly on platform floor and material tray.

• Keep the chassis of the machine a minimum of 2 ft. (0.6m)

from holes, bumps, drop-offs, obstructions, debris, con-
cealed holes, and other potential hazards at the ground
level.

• Never attempt to use the machine as a crane. Do not tie-

off machine to any adjacent structure.

• Do not increase the platform size with unauthorized deck

extensions or attachments, increasing the area exposed
to wind will decrease stability.

• If mast assembly or platform is caught so that one or more

wheels are off the ground, the operator must be removed
before attempting to free the machine. Use cranes, forklift
trucks, or other appropriate equipment to stabilize
machine and remove personnel.
