8 Maintenance
Working in safety also means working with equipment in accordance
with law standards and under constant control.
Then, the employer must:
• select proper equipment, adapted to the environment and working
conditions and to the characteristics of the worker who implements
it;
• supervise that it is used appropriately, and that specific training is
provided to workers;
• ensure that the work equipment is:
o installed and used in accordance with the use instructions;
o subject to proper maintenance in order to guarantee the per-
manence of the safety requirements
o subject to the update of the minimum safety requirements es-
tablished with international specific regulations.
A correct use of the platform and a regular maintenance are crucial to keep
it always in the best working, efficiency and safety conditions. The frequent
washing of the equipment by high-pressure water jet machines is crucial to
get rid of the harmful remains coming from the works performed and from
atmospheric agents. Before washing, set the MEWP in driving position,
stall the engine and take off the batteries.
To document what has been done, the employer is therefore required to
draw up and update the appropriate equipment control register.
Carefully read and scrupulously follow the maintenance in-
structions and safety laws during the maintenance.
The operations indicated with USER are to be performed by the user.
The operations indicated with C.M.C. shall be performed only by C.M.C. srl
or in authorized repair shops.
Use only C.M.C. original spare parts (even if on the market there are
equivalent or similar parts).
The frequency of the maintenances is indicated in every table. It is implied
a normal use of the equipment; while, for particularly rough uses or in
harmful environments (presence of dust, sand, etc.), an optimal mainte-
nance frequency is left to the good sense of the user.
If an intervention that is different from the following ones is
necessary, ask the C.M.C. Service for authorization and instruc-
tions.
8.1 Daily maintenance
All the following checks are to be performed running the MEWP
from the emergency control station and without anyone inside
the basket.
Every day, before starting the MEWP, perform the following operations:
