3. SAFETY
No changes or modifications
may be made to the machine.
The ground surface must be
sufficiently stable to support the
weight of the machine and the
mast.
The mast must ALWAYS be
anchored in accordance with the
instructions.
If during assembly and
disassembly, the fences do not
provide sufficient protection,
suitable safety harness must be
used at heights above 2 metres.
3.1 General
The machine is constructed to be safe,
both during assembly and in use. The
machine is thus provided with the following
built-in and additional safety features:
- The motor brake works automatically if
the supply voltage fails.
- If the TOP limit switch fails to operate,
so that the mast climbing work platform
continues to rise, an additional
emergency TOP limit switch is
operated.
- If the LOWER limit switch fails to
operate, so that the mast climbing work
platform continues to descend, an
additional emergency LOWER limit
switch is operated.
- If both upper limit switches are not
actuated, the movement of the platform
is stopped by the mechanical end stop
on the mast.
3.2 Safety prior to use
- The chassis must be effectively
supported.
- The working area around the machine
must be free from obstacles.
- The machine must be securely
anchored at the specified intervals.
3.3 Safety in use
In winds of strengths above 12,5
m/s (6 Beaufort) by a
freestanding machine or 15,7 m/
s (7 Beaufort) by an anchored
machine, the machine must not
be used and the platform must
be set in the lowest position.
There must be no obstructions in
the path of the machine.
During use, no person should
stand under the machine.
While a mast element is being
mounted, an anchor is being
fitted or while maintenance
activities are being carried out,
the emergency stop must be
active.
