For elevated platforms, under the condition of no water in the pipe, platform fully extended and stabilizers deployed, the minimum rated capacity is:

Explanation:
The main idea is that aerial platform capacity changes with how the unit is configured. When the platform is fully extended and stabilizers are out, the system relies on ballast and hydraulic stability to keep the platform safe. If there is no water in the hydraulic lines (no ballast), stability is reduced, so the safe load must be lower. Under these exact conditions—no water in the pipe, full extension, stabilizers deployed—the chart specifies the minimum safe working capacity as 750 pounds. That reflects the lowest load that can be supported safely with no hydraulic ballast while the platform is fully extended and stabilized.
