Second Edition • First Printing Operator's ManualWork Area SafetyPart No. 1261735 S-60X 15Do not push off or pulltoward any object outsideof the platform.Maximum allowableside force – ANSI & CSA150 lbs / 667 NDo not alter or disable machine components that inany way affect safety and stability.Do not replace items critical to machine stabilitywith items of different weight or specification.Do not replace factory-installed tires with tires ofdifferent specification or ply rating.Do not modify or alter an aerial work platformwithout prior written permission from themanufacturer. Mounting attachments for holdingtools or other materials onto the platform,toeboards or guard rail system can increase theweight in the platform and the surface area of theplatform or the load.Do not place or attachfixed or overhangingloads to any part of thismachine.Do not place ladders orscaffolds in the platformor against any part of thismachine.Do not transport tools and materials unless theyare evenly distributed and can be safely handledby person(s) in the platform.Do not use the machine on a moving or mobilesurface or vehicle.Be sure all tires are in good condition, air-filledtires are properly inflated and lug nuts are properlytightened.Do not use the platform controls to free a platformthat is caught, snagged or otherwise preventedfrom normal motion by an adjacent structure. Allpersonnel must be removed from the platformbefore attempting to free the platform using theground controls.Operation on Slopes HazardsDo not drive the machine on a slope that exceedsthe maximum uphill, downhill or side slope rating ofthe machine. Slope rating applies only to machinesin the stowed position.Maximum slope rating, stowed position, 2WDPlatform downhill 30% (17°)Platform uphill 10% (6°)Side slope 25% (14°)Maximum slope rating, stowed position, 4WDPlatform downhill 45% (24°)Platform uphill 30% (17°)Side slope 25% (14°)Note: Slope rating is subject to ground conditionsand adequate traction.
