SECTION 4. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
4.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This section explains the steps to be taken in case of an emergency situation during
operation.
4.2 EMERGENCY OPERATION
Operator Unable to Control Machine
IF THE PLATFORM OPERATOR IS PINNED, TRAPPED OR UNABLE TO OPERATE OR
CONTROL THE MACHINE:
1. Other personnel should operate the machine from ground controls only as
required.
2. Only qualified personnel in the platform may use the platform controls. DO NOT
CONTINUE OPERATION IF CONTROLS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.
3. Cranes, forklift trucks or other equipment can be used to remove the platform
occupant and stabilize motion of the machine.
Platform Caught Overhead
If the platform becomes jammed or snagged in overhead structures or equipment, rescue the
platform occupant prior to freeing the machine.
4.3 INCIDENT NOTIFICATION
The manufacturer must be notified immediately of any incident involving an SPM20 product.
Even if no injury or property damage is evident, the factory should be contacted by telephone
and provided with all necessary details.
Failure to notify the manufacturer of an incident involving a product within 48 hours of such
an occurrence may void any warranty consideration on that particular machine.
IMPORTANT
FOLLOWING ANY ACCIDENT, THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE MACHINE AND TEST
ALL FUNCTIONS FIRST FROM THE GROUND CONTROL STATION, THEN FROM THE
PLATFORM CONTROL CONSOLE.
DO NOT LIFT ABOVE 10 FT. (3M) UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THAT ALL DAMAGE HAS BEEN
REPAIRED, IF REQUIRED, AND THAT ALL CONTROLS ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY.
