• Make sure no person is inside the platform or within the safety perimeter. Depending on the case, sufficient lighting
must be available for safe use. Notify any person(s) present on the platform before making any vertical movement of
the platform. Attention to the presence of unauthorized persons.
• The platform is exclusively designed for the transport of materials, tools and limited staff. It is not a working platform.
Nevertheless, the maximum horizontal load considered for the force of a man is 45 lbf (200 N) and tools may induce
bigger forces, these forces must be evaluated and approved by FRACO engineering services.
• Before and during use of the platform, the operator must verify the presence of winds and of unfavorable meteorological
conditions. The platform must not be used if the speed of the wind exceeds the authorized speed or in case of an
electric storm. To learn unfavorable wind speeds, refer to TABLE 2 – GENERAL DATA, ON PAGE 14.
∞ SEE TABLE 2 – GENERAL DATA, ON PAGE 14.
• Always wear a safety harness if opening the installation tailgate or for any alteration of the structure of the railing
∞SEE SECTION 4.8 REGULATORY ATTACHMENT POINTS, ON PAGE 23.
• The operator must always make sure to respect load distributions and the maximum number of persons on the platform.
Refer to capacity plates on the platform. For distribution with a greater number of workers, contact FRACO engineering
services.
∞ SEE TABLE 2 – GENERAL DATA, ON PAGE 14.
• All loads that may slide of fall off the platform must be secured. Keep the platform clear of any debris, trash, snow, etc.
Make sure no tools or other objects stick out of the exterior perimeter limited by the railings of the platform. Operation
may be stopped at any moment by pressing the EMERGENCY STOP button.

In case of damage or malfunction, immobilize the platform and cease all activity on the platform.
∞ SEE SECTION 8 FAULTS; CAUSES AND CORRECTIONS, ON PAGE 62.
• At the end of each work shift of end of day, the platform must be put on "out of service" position and secured to prevent
unauthorized use of the platform. The platform is considered on "out of service" position when it is located at equal
distance between two mast anchors and that the loads on each side of the mast are balanced, or when the platform is
lowered to ground level. Important! In case of a malfunction, use the emergency descent procedure to lower to unit
to ground level.
∞ SEE SECTION 7.13 EMERGENCY DESCENT PROCEDURE, ON PAGE 59
• Prevent all unauthorized access to the platform. At the end of each shift, or during breaks, remove the key from the
contrôl panel. If necessary, padlock the access to the platform (refer to effective local regulation).
• If available, take notice of the evacuation plan and its location before using the lift.
