ELECTRICAL HAZARD
THE TB 120 AERIAL WORK PLATFORM IS NOT
ELECTRICALLY INSULATED.
If the platform, booms, or any other conductive part of a TB 120 contacts a high-
voltage electrical conductor, the result can be SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH for
persons on or near the machine.
GO NO CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUM SAFE APPROACH
DISTANCES ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE.
Be sure to allow for sag and sway in the wires and the work platform.
If a TB 120 comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, the entire machine
can be charged. If that happens, you should remain on the machine and not
contact any other structure or object within reach. That includes the ground,
adjacent buildings, poles, and any object not a part of the TB 120. Such contact
could make your body a conductor to the other object creating an electrical
shock hazard resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. Do not attempt to enter
or leave the TB 120 until you are sure the electricity has been turned off.
If a TB 120 is in contact with a live conductor, the platform operator MUST warn
others on the ground in the vicinity of the TB 120 to STAY AWAY from the
machine, since their bodies can also form a path for electricity to ground thus
creating an electrical shock hazard with possible ELECTROCUTION and
DEATH.
Do not attempt to operate the TB 120 ground controls when the platform, booms,
or any other conducting part of a TB 120 is in contact with electrical wires or if
there is an immediate danger of such contact.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Personnel working on or near a TB 120 must be continuously aware of electrical
hazards, recognizing that SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can result if contact with
an electrical wire does occur.
