Do not stand on the load handling attachments. Do not climb on the mast. Tip-over Hazards Do not raise the load unless the stabilizers (if equipped) and legs have been fully lowered and locked and the casters are in full contact with the ground. Do not raise the load unless the leg retainer pins are properly inserted through the leg and the base. Do not remove the leg retainer pins while the machine is loaded and/or raised. Do not raise the load unless the machine is on a firm, level surface. Prior to use, check the work area for drop-offs, holes, bumps, debris, unstable or slippery surfaces or other possible hazardous conditions. Do not raise the load unless the load handling attachment is properly secured to the machine. Do not use blocks to level the machine. Do not move the machine with a raised load, except for minor positioning. Do not operate the machine in strong or gusty winds. Increasing the load surface area will decrease machine stability in windy conditions. Do not leave a load raised when windy conditions may occur unless the machine(s) are properly guywired. Do not cause a horizontal force or side load to the machine by raising or lowering a fixed or overhanging load. Do not place ladders or scaffolding against any part of the machine.
