General Safety Precautions
u
Personnel Precautions
If you encounter any suspected malfunction of
the aerial platform, or any hazard or potentially
unsafe condition relating to capacity, intended
use, or safe operation, cease operation and seek
assistance from management.
u
Operator General Precautions
Make sure that all protective guards, cowlings,
and doors are in place and secure.
Make sure that the entrance door is safely closed
and that the door lock has properly clicked shut.
Keeping the entrance door open with the platform
elevated (e.g. tying down the entrance door) is
prohibited.
Dismantling parts of the guardrails or the
entrance door is prohibited.
u
Mounting and Dismounting Precautions
Use three points of support when getting on or off
the platform (two hands and one foot or a similar
set of points). Keep the platform clean.
Climbing or standing on the guardrails as well as
jumping from the platform onto building parts,
steel constructions or finished concrete part
constructions is prohibited.
DO NOT dismount while the machine is in
motion.
u
Starting and Stopping Precautions
DO NOT start until all personnel are clearly away
from the machine.
Before leaving the operator’s station, place the
machine in the stowed position.
When leaving the machine parked or unattended,
remove the starter key from the Master Key
Switch, set the Battery switch to OFF, then lock
the Battery switch.
u
Operating Precautions
Alterations to the ATB 42/50 are prohibited and
only permissible upon written agreement of
Snorkel.
The installation or usage of parts that are not
produced or provided by Snorkel is prohibited.
DO NOT override any of the safety features of
the ATB 42/50.
Limit travel speeds according to conditions. Take
into account: grade, surface, congestion, visibility,
side slope, location of personnel, and other
hazards.
u
Operator Maintenance Precautions
Use extreme caution when removing radiator
caps. Park the machine and let it cool down
before opening a pressurized compartment.
A
CAUTION
DO NOT use your hand to search for hydraulic
oil leaks. High pressure hydraulic oil can
easily cut and penetrate your skin — a very
serious injury that requires immediate
attention by a medical specialist trained in that
type of injury. Use a piece of cardboard or
wood to search for hydraulic oil leaks.
DO NOT attempt repairs unless you are
trained. Refer to manuals and experienced
repair personnel for help.
