Danger keep well clear. Operate from the platform or stand clear to avoid injury.

Do not jump out of the platform. Always use the correct exit gate and step out using three points of contact.

Register pre-owned machines. Make sure you register with the manufacturer to get product updates.

Overhead obstructions. Always be aware and avoid crush hazards when moving the platform.

Keep clear of overhead cables. You do not need to touch the power cables to be electrocuted – electricity can arc!
