6.8 MAIN INTENDED USES OF THE PLATFORM
Below are the specific warnings for the most frequent uses of the machine. The information
provided must be considered as an addition to and not a replacement for the contents of the
User and Operation manual.
6.8.1 SYSTEMS
Make sure the parts where maintenance is to be performed are not live, if in doubt request
verification from personnel on the ground.
Do not operate near power lines.
Keep a suitable distance away based on the voltage (see paragraph “Risk of electrocution”).
6.8.2 CLOSED ENVIRONMENTS
To perform the operations in closed places the Constructor recommends the use of the
machine with the electric engine. If this is not possible, make sure there is enough ventilation
to prevent the accumulation of gases that are damaging to the health.
If lighting in the workplace should be insufficient, additional lighting devices must be sup‑
plied.
6.8.3 PRUNING
This activity requires very important skills in order to prevent the machine from losing stabi‑
lity. Remember that:
‑ if branches or logs fall on the safety devices these will be broken;
‑ falling plant parts may damage the machine;
‑ falling plant parts may press the emergency button on the ground. In this case the
machine cannot be controlled and the personnel on the ground must intervene;
‑ the tools used for pruning, such as chainsaws, exert considerable force towards the out‑
side of the basket edge;
‑ it is compulsory to check in advance that the plants being pruned cannot fall on any part
of the platform or the basket.
