The maximum load imposed by an outrigger is 1.8 tonne
Advice should be obtained from UpRight Powered Access as to the type of
supports and precautions required before attempting to operate the
machine outside these parameters.
NOTE .The AB48HSRT can be levelled on ground with a maximum slope of 5 degrees
front-to-rear or side-to-side, and that all 4 wheels are clear of ground contact.
3. DO

or forces: the manufacturer, UpRight Powered Access, must be consulted for
approval of special applications prior to use.
6. DO
NOT use the machine close to live electrical conductors. The minimum safe
working distance for a machine working near overhead power cables is the
maximum extended length of the booms plus 15 metres, measured with the
booms pointing towards the lines, i.e. safe working distance for the AB48HSRT is
22 metres. It is the operator‘s responsibility to ensure that, when working in the
vicinity of live overhead high-voltage lines, the minimum safe working distance is
maintained. Erect a simple barrier tape at the safe distance.
7.
WORKING CLOSE TO POWER CABLES – if work has to be carried out at less
than the safe working distance, the operator must ensure that the electricity
supply has been switched off. Before commencing work, a written permit to
work must be obtained from the owners of the power cables or the responsible
authority.
8. DO
NOT operate the machine unless all four outriggers are down and in full
