• Use the boom functions, not the drive function, to position
the platform close to obstacles.
• Always post a lookout when driving in areas where vision
is obstructed.
• Keep non-operating personnel at least 6 ft. (1.8m) away
from machine during all driving and swing operations.
• Limit travel speed according to conditions of ground sur-
face, congestion, visibility, slope, location of personnel,
and other factors which may cause collision or injury to
personnel.
• Be aware of stopping distances in all drive speeds. When
driving in high speed, switch to low speed before stop-
ping. Travel grades in low speed only.
• Do not use high speed drive in restricted or close quarters
or when driving in reverse.
• Exercise extreme caution at all times to prevent obstacles
from striking or interfering with operating controls and per-
sons in the platform.
• Be sure that operators of other overhead and floor level
machines are aware of the aerial work platform’s pres-
ence. Disconnect power to overhead cranes.
• Warn personnel not to work, stand, or walk under a raised
boom or platform. Position barricades on floor if neces-
sary.
