Know the Hazards

AVOID FALLS FROM THE PLATFORM

Hitting something with the truck could cause you  

to fall.

Wear your harness and lanyard at all times.
RAISE/LOWER CUTOUT OVERRIDE

Using the Cutout Override lets you travel or raise the 

platform into areas where there are obstructions and 

hazards such as pipes, ducts, conduits, low ceilings etc.

Hitting any obstruction could tip the truck over, causing 

serious injury or even death.
Watch out for obstructions anytime you're operating your 

truck. Be even more careful when using Cutout Override.

SLACK CHAIN CONDITION

Always be alert for slack lift chains. This condition could 

allow the platform to drop suddenly and cause injury.

Stop lowering immediately if chains become slack.

CHECK YOUR DISPLAY

If your truck won’t raise, lower, travel, or operates at  

a reduced speed, check the message panel on  

the display.

MANUAL LOWERING

If normal lowering does not operate, a manual 

lowering valve is located behind the power unit 

door. Call for authorized assistance to help lower the 

platform to the ground. 

Note:  

Always be alert to a display message or any other 

indications that the lift chains have become slack. 

A slack chain condition can cause serious injury by 

allowing the platform to drop suddenly.

Stop lowering immediately if chains become slack.
