Read and understand all manuals and instructional material listed on cover, inside
front cover and introduction page of this Manual before putting the Transformer
Series personnel work platform into service.
Regardless of previous experience operating similar equipment, the operator
must be given sufficient opportunity to practice with the handler in a safe, open
area (not hazardous to people or property) to gain operating skills and the
proper “feel” for controls and operating clearances required for safe, efficient
operation.
