It is forbidden to operate in situations which are
dangerous for the safety of people;
Do not operate in explosion hazard areas;
➔ Block the vehicle by the parking brake and, in
sloping roads, block the wheel with wedges;
➔ 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 vehicle engine, that his
has appropriate ventilation or convey exhaust gases

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 vehicle in order to let the MEWP operate
on a horizontal plane: max frame fall 1° - max slope
which can be assimilated by the ground 3°.
