10 MEASURES TO BE TAKEN IN THE CASE OF EMERGENCY/IF THE LIFT IS
AT RISK OF LOSING ITS STABILITY
Reduced stability can be caused by a fault in the lift,
the wind or other lateral force, collapse of the standing
base or negligence in providing sufficient support. In
most cases one sign of reduced stability is the inclination of the lift.
WHEN AT RISK OF LOSING THE STABILITY
1. If there is time, try to find out the reason for the reduced stability and the direction of
its effect. Warn other people on the worksite using the alarm signal.
2. If possible, reduce the load from the platform in a safe manner.
3. Reduce the outreach to the side by retracting the telescopic boom using the
emergency descent system. Avoid abrupt movements.
4. Turn the boom away from the danger zone, i.e. to a position where the stability of the
lift is normal.
5. Lower the boom.
If the stability has been lost as a result of a fault in the lift, repair such a fault immediately.
Do not use the lift until the fault has been repaired and the condition of the lift has
been verified.
IN THE EVENT OF OVERLOADING
1. If there is time, try to find out the reason for the reduced stability and the direction of
its effect. Warn other people on the worksite using the alarm signal.
2. If possible, reduce the load from the platform in a safe manner.
3. Reduce the outreach to the side by retracting the telescopic boom using the
emergency descent system.
4. The green light will illuminate as soon as the overloading situation is reset. After this,
the machine may be operated normally.
IN CASE THE POWER SUPPLY IS INTERRUPTED (diesel/mains)
1. Lower the boom using the emergency descent system (see point “Emergency
descent system”).
2. In case of emergency, the outriggers can also be operated using the emergency
descent system (Note! The movements are notably slower when operated by the
emergency descent system)
