Snorkel X33BE-sn10131+V-2 - Manual (Page 13)

■ Pre-start Inspection
At the start of each work shift, the
X33RT /
X27RT shall be given a vi sual in spec tion and
func tion test. See the Daily In spec tion and Main te -
nance chap ter , in this man ual for a list of items to
in spect and test.
DO NOT operate the
X33RT / X27RT unless
you are trained and authorized, understand
the operation characteristics of the
X33RT /
X27RT, and have inspected and tested all
functions to be sure they are in proper
working order.
■ Work Place Inspection and Practices
Do not use the X33RT / X27RT as a ground for
weld ing. Ground to the work piece.
Be fore the X33RT / X27RT is used, and dur ing
use, check the area in which the
X33RT / X27RT
is to be used for pos si ble haz ards such as, but not
lim ited to:
● Drop-offs or holes.
● Side slopes.
● Bumps and floor obstructions.
● Debris.
● Overhead obstructions and electrical
conductors.
● Hazardous locations.
● Inadequate surface and support to withstand
all load forces imposed by the aerial platform
in all operating configurations.
● Wind and weather conditions.
● Presence of unauthorized persons.
● Other possible unsafe conditions.
Be fore the X33RT / X27RT is used, de ter mine
the haz ard clas si fi ca tion of any par tic u lar at mo -
sphere or lo
ca tion ac cord ing to ANSI/NFPA
505-1987.
Any X33RT / X27RT op er ated in a haz ard ous lo -
ca tion must be ap proved and of the type re quired
by ANSI/NFPA 505-1987.
While op er at ing the RT a rec om mended safety
prac tice is to have trained and qual i fied per son nel
in the im me di ate work area of the
X33RT /
X27RT to:
● Help in case of an emergency.
● Operate emergency controls as required.
● Watch for loss of control by platform
operator.
● Warn the operator of any obstructions or
hazards that may not be obvious to them.
● Watch for soft terrain, sloping surfaces,
drop-offs, etc., where stability could be
jeopardized.
● Watch for bystanders and never allow
anyone to be under, or to reach through the
booms while operating the aerial platform.
Pinch points may exist between moving
components. Death or serious injury can
result from becoming trapped between
components, buildings, structures, or other
obstacles. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance around the machine before
moving the chassis, booms, or platform.
Allow sufficient room and time to stop
movement to avoid contact with structures
or other hazards.
Keep ground per son nel from un der the plat form
when the plat form is raised.
Se cure all ac ces so ries, con tain ers, tools, and
other ma te ri als in the plat form to pre vent them from
ac ci den tally fall ing or be ing kicked off the platform.
Al ways look in the di rec tion of travel. Drive with
care and at speeds com pat i ble with the work-place
con di tions. Use cau tion when driv ing over rough
ground, on slopes, and when turning.
Do not en gage in any form of horse play or stunt
driv ing while op er at ing the
X33RT / X27RT.
Do not per mit rid ers on the ma chine any place other
than on the plat form.
Re move all loose ob jects stored in or on the ma -
chine, par tic u larly in the plat form. Re move all ob -
jects which do not be long in or on the machine.
Never steady the plat form by po si tion ing it against
an other plat form.
Do not op er ate an X33RT / X27RT that is dam -
aged or not func tion ing prop erly. Do not use the
RT
un til the ma chine has been re paired by a qual i fied
main te nance person.
Do not op er ate a X33RT / X27RT that does not
have all its de cals and plac ards at tached and leg i -
ble.
Watch for by stand ers and never al low any one to be
un der, or to reach through, the ma chine and its
equip ment while op er at ing.
