A gravity gate (refer to Figure 4.5) or an optional swing-
ing gate (refer to Figure 4.6) allows for access to the
platform.

The gates close automatically after entering or exiting
the platform. The gate is part of the guardrail system
and must be securely fastened after entering the plat-
form.
Lanyard Anchors
Two lanyard anchors for fall restraint anchorage are pro-
vided below the upper controls at the front of the plat-
form (refer to Figure 4.4).
Note
The lanyard anchors are not for lifting or tying the ma-
chine down.
All personnel in the platform must connect their fall re-
straint device to a lanyard anchor before raising the plat-
form. Do not use the aerial platform for personal fall ar-
rest anchorage.

an alarm will sound. The tilt alarm is located under the
upper control box (refer to Figure 4.7).
