• Do not pull or push an element outside the work platform. Acceptable manual force (total):
400N
• Do not use the machine as a crane.
• Do not use the machine to pull or push any objects.
• Do not attach the machine to any neighbouring structure. Never use any part of the machine
to stabilise or support any structure. Do not attach any electrical wires or other cables to the

2.3. CRUSHING AND COLLISION HAZARDS
• When the machine is moving, keep all
parts of the body inside the platform
guard rail.
• Prevent any obstacles from hitting or
hindering the controls or people onboard
the platform.
• Make sure that you do not lower the
platform onto any tall obstacles. It is
recommended that you bring the
telescope back in before lowering the
platform.
• Warn the other occupants of the platform
before controlling a movement and obtain
their approval where necessary.
• Make sure that non-operating personnel
are kept out of the area where the
machine is working. Warn personnel on
the ground to keep away from under the
platform when it is raised.
• Make sure that the operators of other
machines at a height and on the ground are alerted to the lifting platform's presence. If
necessary, barricade the area where the machine is working and cut the power to overhead
cranes.
• Note the presence of any obstacles around, above and below the platform before controlling
a movement.
• Adapt the movement speed according to the condition of the ground, the incline, the visibility,
the presence of people in the working area, obstructions on the machine's route and any
other factors likely to cause a collision or injury.
• Be guided by a person on the ground when visibility is reduced.
• Take into account the braking or stopping distances according to the movement speed.
Reduce speed when moving on slopes (platform in low position).
• The wearing of protective equipment is recommended.
