Ü
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) poses a greater
static ignition hazard than earlier diesel formula-
tions. Avoid death or serious injury from fire or
explosion; consult with your fuel or fuel system
supplier to ensure the entire fuel delivery system
is in compliance with fueling standards for prop-
er grounding and bonding practices.
Ü
NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.
Ü
DO NOT remove the radiator cap after the engine
has reached operating temperature or if it is over-
heated. At operating temperatures, the engine
coolant will be extremely HOT and under pres-
sure. ALWAYS wait for the engine to cool before
attempting to relieve pressure and remove the
radiator cap. Failure to heed this warning could
result in severe burns.
Ü
DO NOT loosen or disconnect any hydraulic
lines, hoses or fittings without first relieving
hydraulic circuit pressure. Also, be careful not to
touch any hydraulic components that have been in
recent operation because they can be extremely
hot and can burn you!
Ü
Avoid lubrication or mechanical adjustments with
the machine in motion or the engine running. If
the engine must be running to make certain
adjustments, place the transmission in neutral,
apply the parking brake, place the equipment in a
safe position, securely block the tires and use
extreme caution.
Ü
To ensure continued safe operation, replace dam-
aged or worn-out parts with genuine Manitou ser-
vice parts before using this equipment.
Modifications, Nameplates, Markings and
Capacities
Ü
Modifications and additions that affect capacity
or safe operation must never be performed with-
out the manufacturer’s prior written approval.
Where such authorization is granted, any applica-
ble markings are to be changed accordingly.
SAFETY
Ü
All attachment tools MUST be marked to identi-
fy the attachment tool and the total capacity with
the attachment tool at maximum elevation with
the load laterally centered.
Ü
ALWAYS be sure all nameplates, warnings and
instruction markings are in place and legible.
Local government regulations may require specif-
ic decals, which are the responsibility of the
owner to provide.
Safety Guards and Warning Devices
Ü
This machine is fitted with a Roll-Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) in accordance with industry
standards. It is intended to offer protection to the
operator from falling objects and in case of an
overturn, but it cannot protect against every pos-
sible hazard. Therefore it should not be consid-
ered a substitute for good judgment and safe prac-
tices in operating the machine. If the ROPS /
FOPS structure is damaged, it must be replaced to
restore the protection it provides.
Ü
This machine is equipped with a horn and backup
alarm. The user must determine if operating con-
ditions require the machine to be equipped with
additional devices (mirrors, rotating beacon, etc.)
and be responsible for providing and maintaining
such devices.
Personnel Work Platform (PWP) System
WARNING
The machine must not be used to lift or carry
personnel, or be fitted with any form of per-
sonnel work platform unless fitted with the
optional PWP System.
If fitted with the PWP System, the Mandatory
Work Platform Safety Rules must be followed
at all times while lifting personnel.
