1.7 Risk of Tipping
1) The personnel, equipment and materials on the platform may not exceed the maximum load capacity of the platform.
Item T65J T85J
Maximum Load Capacity 250Kg /551lbs 250Kg/551lbs
of the Platform 340Kg/750 lbs
(Restricted range of motion)
Maximum occupants 2 2
3 (Restricted)
Maximum Allowable Wind Speed 12.5m/s/2 8mph 12.5m/s/28mph
Table 1-2 Maximum Load Capacity of the Platform
2) If the platform is overloaded, the alarm will sound. Please reduce the platform load before continuing.
3) When the platform is lifted, drive speed may not exceed 0.8km/h (0.5mph).
4) The tilt sensor may not be used as a level indicator. The alarm on the turntable will sound only when the vehicle is heavily tilted.
5) Be very careful if the alarm sounds when the platform is lifted. The machine's
non-level indicator will light up and the drive function will not work in either direction.
First determine the status of the upper boom on the slope, as shown below. Then
follow the steps below to lower the boom before moving the machine to solid and
level ground. Do not rotate the boom when lowering.
6) If the alarm sounds when the platform goes up the slope
①Lower the boom
②Retract the boom
7) If the alarm sounds when the platform goes down the slope
①Retract the boom
②Lower the boom
8) Do not lift the boom when the wind speed may exceed 12.5 m/s/28mph. If the wind
speed exceeds 12.5 m/s/28mph after the boom is lifted, lower the boom and do not
continue to operate the machine.
9) Do not operate the machine in strong winds or gusts. Do not increase the surface area of the platform or load. Increasing the area exposed to the wind will reduce the stability of the machine.
10) Do not use the upper control box to operate the machine when the platform is trapped, jammed, or other objects nearby are blocking its normal movement. If you plan to operate the machine with the lower control box, all personnel must leave the platform before you do so.
11) In the retracted state, please be very careful and reduce the speed when the
machine is running on gravels, unstable or smooth surfaces and near the entrance of holes or steep slopes.
12) When the boom is lifted, the machine cannot run on uneven terrain, unstable
surfaces, or other dangerous conditions, or run near these areas.
13) Do not use the platform to push or pull anything outside the platform.
14) Do not use the machine as a crane.
15) Do not place, tie or hang loads on any part of the machine.
16) Do not use the boom to push a machine or other objects.
