Do not remove or modify safety devices;
It is forbidden to modify, remove or replace any MEWP component
(ballasts, tires, batteries, spare tire etc.): this operation could reduce
the machine weight thus impairing its stability;
➔ Wear all the protective cloths and the personal safety devices:
helmets, safety shoes and - according to the type of work - gloves,
hearing protections, respirators, etc.;
Do not use clothes with hanging flaps, scarves, ties or any other ac-
cessory which could be dragged into the moving parts; inform about
the closest fire-extinguishers and first-aid kit.
4.7.3 During the positioning of the MEWP
It is forbidden to operate in situations which are dangerous for the
safety of people;
Do not operate in explosion hazard areas;
➔ Check that the working area is suitable to the MEWP performances
and operations, and that it is enough lit;
➔ 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:
Exhaust 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
inside 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 inclination 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 al-
lowed;
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 struc-
tures 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
dangerous conditions are over;
