➔ Keep enough safety distance from the obstacles:
avoid contacts with fixed (buildings, etc.) and
moving (vehicles, cranes, etc.) objects, with the
truck cabin, with the outriggers and with other
structure parts;
It is forbidden to use ladders or tables on the
basket in order to increase the MEWP outreach
or working height;
➔ Be careful when working in close buildings: due to
the “wind tunnel” effect, sudden blasts could cause
swinging, thus impairing the machine stability;
It is forbidden to lift “full surface” panels (signs,
advertising panels, boards, etc.): these could
cause the “sail” effect;
It is forbidden to leave the MEWP unattended
when it is in working position;
It is forbidden to exceed the max number of basket
operators allowed;
During the normal use of the platform, it is
absolutely forbidden to use electronic instruments
which do not meet the requirements of the
directive 72/245/CE and its following
amendments: the additional electronic
instruments could impair good functioning of the
platform electronic components.

➔ Before moving the vehicle, check that the back
outriggers beams are completely withdrawn and
blocked, that all the outriggers are set in the
transport position, with the plates completely lifted;

➔ Disengage the power take-off before moving the
