6.4 USE OF THE ELEVATING WORK PLATFORM (MEWP)
In the explanations contained in the following paragraphs, it is assumed that the operator
has already read and understood the contents of the previous sections of this manual. The‑
refore, warnings and photos which are already provided in other sections of this document
will be repeated only when absolutely necessary.
The JLG elevating work platforms are suitable for overhead jobs that are performed by an
operator from inside the basket. The platform must be used exclusively by skilled personnel
who are aware of the position and functions of all controls, instruments, indicators, warning
lights and the meaning of the stickers and indications on the machine.
The operator must have understood the platform operating procedures before using it.
Correct use of the platform requires, as well as the presence of the operator (or operators) in
the basket, also the presence of an expert operator on the ground who has to supervise work
and be ready to intervene in case of dangerous situations and for any emergency operations.
This implies that the personnel on the ground must be suitably trained regarding the func‑
tions of the controls and the procedures for use and that they have read the manual.
‑ Failure to comply with even one safety provision may cause injury/damage to the opera‑
tors and/or the machine.
‑ Keep a first aid box and a fire extinguisher near the work area. These must be used in
compliance with the regulations in force.
‑ Do not remain within the platform operating range. The area below must be cordoned
off; it is prohibited to throw objects from or towards the basket.
‑ Wear tight clothing and use all the PPE considered necessary based on the risk analysis
of each individual site (shoes, hard hats, gloves and safety belts).
‑ When the work needs to be performed by two or more persons, before starting always
agree on the correct procedure to follow. Always inform your fellow workers before star‑
ting the procedure.
‑ At low temperatures start the motor and let it run for a few minutes, so that the
hydraulic oil circulates and reaches at least 20°C before operating the platform.
