1. Safety
■ Safe Operation
Knowl edge of the in for ma tion in this man ual, and
proper train ing, pro vide a ba sis for safely op er at ing
the
X33RT / X27RT. Know the lo ca tion of all the
con trols and how they op er ate to act quickly and re -
spon si bly in an emergency.
Safety de vices re duce the like li hood of an ac ci -
dent. Never dis able, mod ify, or ig nore any safety

■ Electrocution Hazards
The
RT is an all metal ae rial work plat form and is
not elec tri cally in su lated. Do not op er ate it near
elec tri cal con duc tors. Re gard all con duc tors as be -

The RT is not electrically insulated. Death or
serious injury can result from contact with,
or inadequate clearance from, an energised
conductor. Do not go closer than the
minimum safe approach distance as defined
by ANSI.
