• When performing welding operations at elevation, precautions must be taken to protect all
machine components from contact with weld splatter or molten metal.
• Battery fluid is highly corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and clothing at all times.
• Charge batteries on in a well ventilated area.
Trip and Fall Hazard
• The manufacturer recommends that the operator in the platform wear a full body harness with a
lanyard attached to an authorized lanyard anchorage point. For further information
regarding fall protection requirements on the products, contact the manufacturer.
• Before operating the machine, make sure all railing and gates are fastened in their proper
position.
• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at all times. Never use ladders,
boxes, steps, planks, or similar items on platform to provide additional reach.
• Never use the mast assembly to enter or leave the platform.
• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving platform. Ensure that the mast assembly is
fully lowered. Face the machine when entering or leaving the platform. Always maintain
“three point contact” with the machine, using two hands and one foot or two feet and one
hand at all times during entry and exit.
• Platform-to-structure transfers at elevated positions are discouraged. Where transfer is
necessary, enter/exit through the gate only with the platform within 1 foot (0.3m) of a safe
and secure structure. 100% tie-off is also required in this situation utilizing two lanyards.
One lanyard must be attached to the platform with the second lanyard attached to the structure.
The lanyard connected to the platform must not be disconnected until such time the
transfer to the structure is safe and complete.
