Do not raise or extend the
boom unless the machine
is on a firm, level surface.
Do not depend on the tilt alarm as a level indicator.
The tilt alarm sounds in the platform only when the
machine is on a severe slope.
If the tilt alarm sounds while the boom is lowered:
Do not extend, rotate or raise the boom above
horizontal. Move the machine to a firm, level
surface before raising the platform.
If the tilt alarm sounds when the platform is raised,
use extreme caution. The Machine Not Level
indicator light will come on and the drive function in
one or both directions will not operate. Identify the
condition of the boom on the slope as shown in the
tilt alarm procedure. Follow the steps to lower the
boom before moving to a firm, level surface. Do
not rotate the boom while lowering.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform uphill:
1
Lower the primary
boom.
2
Lower the secondary
boom.
3
Retract the primary
boom.
If the tilt alarm sounds
with the platform
downhill:
1
Retract the primary
boom.
2
Lower the secondary
boom.
3
Lower the primary
boom.
Do not raise the boom
when wind speeds may
exceed 12.5 m/s. If wind
speeds exceed 12.5 m/s
when the boom is raised,
lower the boom and do
not continue to operate
the machine.
Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty
winds. Do not increase the surface area of the
platform or the load. Increasing the area exposed
to the wind will decrease machine stability.
