SECTION A. INTRODUCTION - MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL
This section contains the general safety precautions
which must be observed during maintenance of the
mobile elevating work platform. It is of utmost impor-
tance that maintenance personnel pay strict attention
to these warnings and precautions to avoid possible
injury to themselves or others, or damage to the equip-
ment. A maintenance program must be followed to
ensure that the machine is safe to operate.
MODIFICATION OR ALTERATION OF AN MOBILE ELEVATING WORK
PLATFORM SHALL BE MADE ONLY WITH WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM
THE MANUFACTURER.
The specific precautions to be observed during mainte-
nance are inserted at the appropriate point in the man-
ual. These precautions are, for the most part, those that
apply when servicing hydraulic and larger machine
component parts.
Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment.
Always be conscious of weight. Never attempt to move
heavy parts without the aid of a mechanical device. Do
not allow heavy objects to rest in an unstable position.
When raising a portion of the equipment, ensure that
adequate support is provided.
SINCE THE MACHINE MANUFACTURER HAS NO DIRECT CONTROL OVER
THE FIELD INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE, SAFETY IN THIS AREA
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER/OPERATOR.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
It should be noted that the machines hydraulic systems
operate at extremely high potentially dangerous pres-
sures. Every effort should be made to relieve any system
pressure prior to disconnecting or removing any por-
tion of the system.
