5.1 Instructions for safe operation
- Use a safety harness while on the platform.
- Use hearing protectors when operating the power unit. Sound pressure level at
the lower control unit 92 dB.
- Never add load onto the platform while in the upper position.
- The lift must not be used when the temperature is below -20°C, and the wind
speed exceeds 12.5 m/s.
- Beware of live power lines within the work area.
- The lift MUST NOT be used as a crane.
- Always ensure the load-bearing capacity of the standing surface.
- Ensure the unobstructed range of movement before operating the outriggers.
- While in the support position, ensure that the wheels are off the ground.
- Always verify the horizontal position of the machine.
- Ensure that the outriggers cannot slide while on a gradient.
- Always ensure that the work area is clear of outsiders. Danger of getting
squeezed between rotating and fixed structures.
- Stepping on or off the platform in motion is prohibited.
- The maximum-allowed gradient during transfers is 5°. During transfer in rough
terrain, try to stay above the machine.
- While operating the boom from the control centre on the turning device, beware
of getting pressed against the outriggers or other structures that do not turn
with the boom.
- When the boom is in its lowest positions, make sure it cannot clash during
rotation with structures that do not turn with the boom.
- Before operating, always ensure that the safety devices and the emergency
descent system are in working order.
- Do not take tools/material of large surface area onto the platform. The increase
in wind load may jeopardize the stability of the device.
- Always keep the lift free from dirt, snow and ice.
- Ensure that the lift is inspected and serviced, before use.
- Never use a defective lift.
- Never use a lift alone. Make sure that there is always someone on the ground,
who can call for help in case of an emergency.
