Safety Issue

We have a new Genie IWP-25S Series lift. This model does not include the front outrigger contact switches that are safety features on other Genie lifts. It has instead a level indication system that relies on the operator to visually confirm contact with the ground. In practice we have found that it is very easy to ascend in the lift without having one or both front feet in contact with the ground. In this scenario when operator shifts weight in the basket the lift can easy tip over. Has anyone else had this experience with this model?

Fact of the week
In 1923, French tennis player René Lacoste was promised a crocodile leather suitcase by his captain if he won his next match. He lost the match but won the nickname "the crocodile" which he had sown onto his tennis attire. Ten years later he launched the first polo shirt and Lacoste, the first brand to feature a logo on its clothing.
