All Skyjack mobile elevating work platforms are equipped with a manual storage box. The weather resistant plastic box is located either on the platform or in the base control area. The manual storage box should always be in good condition – attached securely to the machine, no missing parts, and weather tight to keep the documents inside clean and dry. The box contains important documents for personnel who use the mobile elevating work platform - the ANSI Manual of Responsibilities and the Skyjack Operating Manual for that model and serial number.
