SECTION 5. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
5.1 GENERAL
This section provides information on the procedures to be
followed and on the systems and controls to be used in the
event an emergency situation is encountered during
machine operation. Prior to operation of the machine and
periodically thereafter, the entire operating manual, including
this section, should be reviewed by all personnel whose
responsibilities include any work or contact with the
machine.
Emergency Stop Switch
These large red buttons, one located outside the valve com-
partment and one at the Platform Control Station, will imme-
diately stop the machine when depressed.
Platform Caught Overhead
If the platform becomes jammed or snagged in overhead
structures or equipment, do not continue operation of the
machine from either the platform or the ground until the
operator and all personnel are safely moved to a secure
location. Only then should an attempt be made to free the
platform using any necessary equipment and personnel. Do
not operate controls to cause one or more wheels to leave
the ground.
Righting of Tipped Machine
A forktruck of suitable capacity or equivalent equipment
should be placed under the elevated side of the chassis, with
a crane or other suitable lifting equipment used to lift the
platform while the chassis is lowered by the forklift or other
equipment.
Post-Incident Inspection
Following any incident, thoroughly inspect the machine and
test all functions first from the ground controls, then from the
platform controls. Do not lift above 10 ft (3 m) until you are
sure that all damage has been repaired, and that all controls
are operating correctly.
