MEC manuals and decals use symbols, colors and signal words to help you recognize important
safety, operation and maintenance information.
RED and the word DANGER – Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury������
ORANGE and the word WARNING – Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury������
YELLOW with alert symbol and the word CAUTION – Indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury������
YELLOW without alert symbol and the word CAUTION – Indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in

Regular inspection and constant maintenance is the key to efficient economical operation of your
aerial work platform. It will help to assure that your equipment will perform satisfactorily with a
minimum of service and repair.
The actual operating environment of the machine governs the inspection schedule. Correct lubrication
is an essential part of the preventative maintenance to minimize wear on working parts and ensure
against premature failure. By maintaining correct lubrication, the possibility of mechanical failure and
resulting downtime is reduced to a minimum.
Never leave hydraulic components or hoses open. They must be protected from contamination
(including rain) at all times.
Never open a hydraulic system when there are contaminants in the air.
Always clean the surrounding area before opening hydraulic systems.
Use only recommended lubricants. Improper lubricants or incompatible lubricants may be as
harmful as no lubrication.
Watch for makeshift “fixes” which can jeopardize safety as well as lead to more costly repair.
