Check that the operational stands and the working area are enough lit
and well visible;
If operating in closed or little aired environment, ensure, before starting
the machine engine, that his has appropriate ventilation or convey ex-
haust gases outside:
E
xhaust emissions produced by the MEWP engine are toxic;
Appropriately define the working area through suitable signs; observe
the laws in force about the traffic, in case you use the MEWP where
road circulation is allowed;
Check that nobody is within the MEWP action range.
Stabilize the truck through the outriggers.
Pay the utmost attention during stabilization: check that no one is in-
side the stabilization area.
Check that the outriggers rest on a non-soft, solid ground that bears the
load indicated on each stabilizer.
In case of soft ground, use supporting plates.
It is forbidden to place the outriggers on ground roughness: they could
be damaged.
Level the machine in order to let the MEWP operate on a horizontal
plane: max frame slope 1° - max slope which can be assimilated by the
ground 3°.
4.7.4
During the entrance in the basket
It is absolutely forbidden to use the equipment with loads different
from those indicated on the diagram or for uses which are not allowed;
Do not overload the MEWP;
During the different working operations, the use of the safety belts
is compulsory. Do not fasten the safety belts to external structures but
only to the supplied grips placed in the basket;
Make sure that the bar lifted to enter the basket, has returned in its lock
position.
4.7.5
During the use of the MEWP
In any dangerous or irregular conditions, stop the machine by using the
emergency button. Before restarting the machine, check that the dan-
gerous conditions are over;
It is strictly forbidden to level the basket when the machine is in work-
ing position;
Do not operate when the MEWP is in failure;
It is forbidden to use the “platform control (emergency) position” when
there are operators inside the basket, unless there is emergency or
for testing operations before starting the work (which shall be carried
out without anyone in the basket): from downstairs, it is difficult to es-
teem how far the basket and the MEWP structure components are
from possible obstacles;
Follow the MEWP working diagram.;
It is strictly forbidden to use the platform as a crane, to hang posters,
banners, poles, etc. to the basket or to any other part of the MEWP.;
Do not connect chain or ropes to the MEWP (since they could be
trapped amongst the MEWP moving parts or they could hook fixed
objects thus causing the machine overturn);
It is absolutely forbidden to lift or lower loads by using ropes and pul-
leys;
