Operation
Elevating Personnel
1. Make sure there are no overhead obstructions or electrical wires
above the platform before lifting.
2. A trained operator must operate the controls from the operators
compartment and must remain with the vehicle at all times. Using
extreme caution, lift and lower personnel smoothly and only at their
request. The operator should move the platform up and down only
in response to instruction from personnel on the platform. If the
operator must move the platform, the operator must alert the per-
sonnel aboard the platform before moving.
3. Personnel aboard the work platform must maintain a firm footing at
all times.
4. Be certain the personnel and related equipment on the platform do
not exceed the available space of the platform.
5. The platform shall be lowered to the ground level for personnel to
enter or exit the platform through the appropriate platform access
opening. Personnel must not climb on any part of the vehicle or
over the platform guardrails in an attempt to enter or exit the plat-
form.
6. Always position the platform in the travel position (approximately
one foot above ground level) before moving the vehicle.
NOTE: Make sure that required restraining equipment such as railings,
chains, cable, body belts with lanyards, etc. are in place and properly used.
Never use railings, planks, ladders, etc. on the platform for the purpose of
achieving additional reach or height.
WARNING:
Never operate the Attachment Tilt function to
tilt the platform forward or rearward when elevating with personnel
aboard. Death or serious personal injury could result.
DANGER:
Never operate this or any equipment in an area in
which overhead or underground cables or power sources exist
without first requesting that the appropriate power company or
utility company de-energize the lines or take other suitable pre-
cautions.
